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.

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.

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.
