Cheney cleared in hunting accident

White House faces questions about disclosing incident

Tuesday, February 14, 2006; Posted: 1:19 p.m. EST (18:19 GMT)

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (CNN) -- Authorities have cleared Vice President Dick Cheney of wrongdoing in the Texas shooting of a hunting companion, while reporters aimed tough questions at White House officials about their delay in disclosing the accident.

During Tuesday's White House news conference, spokesman Scott McClellan was asked if waiting 14 hours after the shooting before Cheney spoke with police was appropriate, and whether an average citizen would have been afforded the same amount of time.

"That was what was arranged with the local law enforcement authorities," McClellan said. "You ought to ask them that question."

McClellan referred other questions about Cheney's shooting of campaign contributor Harry Whittington to the vice president's office and local police.

"even if i bought the book for them it would only be used to level a table leg. DOLTS!"

WOW...John Kerry for a brother in law.
And you had the guts to follow your head and your heart and escape the liberal grasp. I admire you, no words can express how much.

I like the way you think, but, maybe the Weekly Shopper would be fitting.
With all their huffing and puffing, the MSM has not learned from their partners, the Rats.Instead, they are out in the middle of the cow pasture, looking for pies to step in. AMAZEN
The dummies are ticking off the new media which is laugh at them and showing just how ridiculous they are plus, we get to relive Teddy and the way the "unbiased" media treated him. Too funny

I guess the clowns at NYT haven't heard that CNN says that VP Cheney's been cleared, eh?

Man I tell ya, I have't seen the girliemen with this big a wad in their frilly panties since W beat al gore jr. back in the the 2000 presidential election!

Thanks for the ping. I'll be watching. I think the 2:00 release is just an excerpt from the full interview to be shown at 6:00 tonight; but reports vary on that.

[OldFriend]

WABC radio reporting that the interview is being taped now.

1 pm......Eastern

Just heard this, Gretchen. GOOD news!

Also in the medical update on Mr. Whittington, they said that he was being kept in ICU for PRIVACY reasons, not medical, and was making a good recovery.

[ohioWfan]

I heard the full interview was going to be on Special Report.

[Bahbah]

Thanks, G. Wouldn't miss it.

Thanks, Gretchen. I'm having a hard time keeping up.

"I just read on another message board that the man who was shot had a heart attack. I'm trying to find out if it's true."
I heard that on the news. He suffered a mild heart attack because some of the pellets reached the outter portions of his heart. Dr.s performed surgery to remove it.

Sorry if others answered you here already. When I read your ? I answered it befor continuing to read the other posts.

[SE Mom]

Thanks:) I'll be watching!

[GretchenM]

I'm having a hard time keeping up.

Patience is a virtue but I think I would have called that press conference to conclusion long before it was. Those reporters were acting like little children. I have never seen such ignorance and rudeness exhibited to the public. These reporters better grow up. No one needs to inform them of anything least of all the Vice President of the United States.

Let them keep making fools of themselves. Believe me they aren't getting good "press" over their antics. It must be another Rove plan.

""Cheney would appear in an interview with Fox News at 2 p.m. (1900 GMT), White House spokesman Scott McClellan said" to discuss the hunting accident."

Thanks for letting me know! I agree with Peach - I think there is the full thing at 6 p.m. I hope so - my mama is staying home from Bible Study to see him!!!
