Nope. Many, many folks here have stated otherwise, which is my objection. It flies in the face of basic gun safety. One poster above said Whittington caused the accident and the VP was "totally innocent." That's just absurd.
I'm not talking about what freepers have said or haven't said about this matter. Especially since there are dozens of threads and not enough time to follow all the comments, or the desire to do so.
What I've objected to is your characterization that the VP's office is blaming Whittington. I've yet to see ANYONE do that in an official capacity.
And Matalin has no official capacity whatsoever, unless I missed it in my google search. If you find otherwise, please provide a link. The link I sent you reflect she left the WH several years ago.
