I don't doubt that he was sitting up, laughing, and talking, and "peppered" is one way to describe being hit in the face, neck, and chest by 20-25% of the full pattern of the load. The facts were apparent from the start, but the emphasis has been to minimize the injury. From a medical standpoint, the care has been first-rate, but almost everyone commenting on the injury has been downplaying the risks.

I suppose it's possible to describe the press frenzy as being the inevitable result of the MSM's incompetence and their hatred of Cheney, but I maintain that this could have been handled better. Who's fault is that? The White House has said they're deferring to Mr Cheney in deciding haw to manage this. I'd say he's been getting bad advice.

Cheney is giving a full interview with Fox News and it will be on Special Report at 6:00 ET.

Watch it.
