Yeah, well, if you're on a highway going 70 and the guy in front of you slams on his breaks, it's your fault if you rear-end him, too.
I don't believe that, either.

Do either one of you remember the media breaking into regular programining in 1997 when Bill Clinton had knee surgery because he took a "fall" at Greg Norman's house?
I'm pretty sure we heard about it after the fact -- the next day when he showed up on a stretcher to be flown back to Florida.

Cheney just let his friend know not to be 'dibbing' on the cash flow from the crystal meth lab on the ranch.--Tuesday's Headlines by Couric/NBC.

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.Now you're doing exactly what the media is attempting to do.

I read the sheriff was notified at 5 something Saturday afternoon.
Local "journalists" who cover the copshop are apparently as lazy as the WH press corps. It was on record - south Texas reporters should have picked this up Saturday night at the latest, that they didn't is somehow Bush's/Cheney's/WalMart's fault.

One of the reporters, the blonde in the second row, asked "Would this be more serious if he had been killed?"

...officials struggled Monday to explain why they waited nearly 24 hours before making the news public. Perhaps because they didn't want to embarass the victim, i.e. it was the victim's fault.
I don't know why the WH has to explain anything about the incident to the lamestream press in any case. Talk about a non-story. Iran is about to get nukes, the US will soon be executing a military strike on Iran, and the most important story of the day is a hunting accident. Yawn... No wonder no one listens to them anymore.

I wouldn't have answered that question. I would have stepped aside and looked at her. My head would have tilted to the side. I would have just stared.
To: IRememberElian
The sheriff said NO ALCOHOL was involved.
But keep saying it.

---I would say always but someone could probably think of a scenario where he wasn't, but I can't.---
The birds will flush from anywhere. I've gotten "rained" on plenty of times hunting quail. The trick is to stay far enough away from other hunters. Your only using a #7 1/2 or 8 shot.

You need a bird stamp to shoot an old white guy?

Right, even if Foster committed suicide, he was a high White House official. If anyone in this WH committed suicide, right away they would assume it was due to guilt over some scandal.

"Particularly identify the game that you are shooting and particularly identify your surroundings, that it's safe to shoot," said Mark Birkhauser, the incoming president of the International Hunter Education Association, a group of fish and wildlife agencies. "Every second, you're adjusting your personal information that it is a safe area to shoot or it's not a safe area to shoot." Cheney didn't mis-identify his game. He wasn't shooting AT the man, he was shooting at some quail that were flushed from the covey. Sounds like at the instant Cheney pulled the trigger, the man stepped into the path of the birdshot.

Considering that the WV miners survivors story was so batched in the rush to get it out quickly, that so many of the Hurricane Katrina Superbowl stories were concocted, the early calling of elections, etc. happen I want to know what the heck is wrong with waiting! I also thought journalists were supposed to investigate stories and not wait for press releases. Bottom line: this is a non-story they are trying to inflate into a cloak and dagger story.

Course not. :)
It was already bubbling into a scandal the moment FOX News broke the story. The first thing that came to my mind when it broke was, "here we go again".

"Common folk" would have gotten the same warning Cheney did and been given the same opportunity to send in the $7. And, as "common folk", I would have been annoyed too if I asked them to sell me all of the stamps and licenses and they forgot one, sending me a "warning".
