The White House blamed the 78-year-old man whom Vice President Dick Cheney shot during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas for the incident, as officials struggled Monday to explain why they waited nearly 24 hours before making the news public.
What a sentence - 'blamed' and 'struggled', but only for a Republican administration. Does anybody have any original news stories about a Mr. Vincent Foster and Fort Marcy Park? What were the headlines about then? I wonder why the Press Corps didn't want a minute by minute account of that incident? Or, where were all these inquiring minds when Mr. Clinton was governor of Arkansas? There was quite a body count back then, but of course the details weren't important.

Thanks for clarification. Makes it all the more sorrier on the part of the press to have such a sanctimonious delight in capricious misdescribing the facts.

On the radio today, Hannity replayed the Washington Press Corps questions, one of which was:
"Do you think the Vice President should resign?"
All I can say is that I'm glad I wasn't the one she asked. Fifteen tons of words would have rained down on her in a few nano seconds, and "smart" wouldn't have been one of them.

But that is NOT what the White House said.
What do you mean?

When the USA Today's front page was screaming "Open Season On Cheney" in the newspaper this morning, you didn't have to read the article to figure out where this story was headed.

Bloated egos is right; after all, they have a right to swarm over that ranch, demanding answers and perhaps even get pictures of the blood in the field.

The common folk would quietly pay the fine, but it wouldn't be a national spectacle. it works both ways.. powerful people are cut more breaks, but they face more scrutiny for making those mistakes.

For a clue, read the headline of the thread:

I mean they didn't try to DIVERT BLAME; he simply made a statement.

but I'm thinking that the No. 2 elected official in this country might have a lot more on his mind than renewing some $7 dollar hunting license stamp.
Cheney had a legitimate license to hunt; he just did not have a $7 bird stamp, which is NEW to Texas this year
This is a dumb story, but you can't use ignorance as justification for not following the law or your staff. That is like saying well I was .10 and I didn't know the law went to .08. However, this is just overblown like everything else.
To: Howlin
That exaclty what media want to do --- swarm the ranch and look for "evidence."

Who cares this was an accident. The media should just let it go. I myself have been duck hunting and hit with so bird shot, yes it is not pleasant but it happens.
Just let it go.
To: Hank Rearden
Smoothed over?
Perhaps you should get the facts.
The bird stamp only came into play last September; the state of Texas is giving EVERYBODY a one year grace period if they don't have it; that is why Cheney only got a warning.
BTW, the lawyer, who LIVES in Texas, didn't have one either.
AND, the White House asked the State of Texas for ALL applicable permits he needed and the State of Texas didn't send him the information.

Cheney's heart problems make alcohol a big no=no. Last time I saw him, he kinda' had that bloated look. Possibly due to meds. But, I can just imagine him getting out with his old buddies and having a belt or two.
