Are there any more folks who can pile on?

It's a press promoted story.

It would have been better if the vice president and/or his staff had come out last Saturday night or first thing Sunday morning and announced it," he said during a phone interview Tuesday. "It could have and should have been handled differently."

THEY DID!

Because of the Armstrong family's long-standing professional relationship with reporter Jaime Powell, Katharine Armstrong called Powell around 8 a.m. Sunday and left voice mail messages to return the call. Powell, who was in Austin, did not immediately receive the messages.

I suppose it the VP's fault that the media doesn't returned messages also huh???

Precisely. It would have been (marginally) better, but without a time machine, what's his point?

This makes me sick. I just finished reading his book last week and he has the press's number and should know better than this.

Maybe someone else already mentioned this, but last night on CNN, while cooking dinner, I hear that the woman whose property this happened on used to be a lobbyist.

Anything to make this look worse, you know.

Well, it's a real story. I mean it is news when the VP accidently shoots someone. Beyond that it's a feeding frenzy but it is news and probably should have been revealed at the get-go.
