If only he would demonstrate his hand loading process for both "quail shot" and "media pundit shot".

Vice President Cheney to appear in an exclusive interview on Fox News tonight.
"you can see snippets of Brit's exclusive interview throughout the day, starting around 2pm ET".
hopefully, these snippets will be well thought out, so as to get the MSM in an uproar so bad that they start making false assumptions re the VP between 2 and 6 pm, then stick it to them when the full interview airs at 6pm.
fingers crossed, here.......

Brit better be wearing an day-glo orange vest.
I do not believe for one minute that if the WH had made an announcement about this horrible accident, the "hounds of hell" (Liberal media) would have acted any differently than they are now. Sure, it would have given them one less thing to yelp about, but they'd still be in attack-mode.
I heard a fella on Fox this morning saying that V.P. Cheney should have come out right away and talked to the press. He said that that was what Clinton would have done. Clinton would have come out right away and met with them, said he was terribly sorry and the media would have accepted that. Well hells bells! Of COURSE the media would have accepted that. Clinton was THEIRS! No doubt the press corp would have given rallied around him with hugs, slaps on the back, and "don't worry about it, we got ya covered".
No, it wasn't a huge screw up.
But, I understand that the press throws a tantrum it's not first in the know and some take the bait and assume it was handled incorrectly. Must sympathsize with the press after all. 'Cause we ALL KNOW had they told the press at the start the press wouldn't be in an uproar over some other perceived failing in the handling of the incident. Likely the 7 dollar fine for not having the proper tag. Whereas the people the press purport to represent, the American people, are disgusted at the pressers NOT when this was released from the VEEP's office. Only those tied up in beltway procedures are concerned about that.
Meanwhile I continue to think this is all so absurd but, fine, rather hyperventilating politicians and the rabid press focus on this then leak more national security secrets.
My advice to the VEEP-
True. Everyone I know is saying the same thing and also saying that the MSM is shooting themselves in the foot with something larger than bird shot. ;)
I agree 100%
Eastern time?
Yes, eastern time.
It's not a live interview..it's been taped..FOX just said they would show some excerpts starting at 2pm..
I think there is a timeline on one of these threads, but it seems to me the incident was reported to the local Sheriff right after it happened. When it was reported to the Sheriff, then it was set up for Cheney to be interviewed about it the next day. I think all the hype in the media about Cheney not talking to LE right away is just hype. Media is trying to make it sound like he didn't report it until the next day, not the case. If you report an incident and LE agrees to talk to you later about it- then I see no problem with it at all.
This was most likely not treated as a serious incident by LE because it was bird shot, which is usually no big deal. Birdshot wounds rarely cause any problems; a local kid here was hit with shot a few years ago it was treated as a non-issue by our LE.
The only liability to Cheney is the target the libs have painted on his back. They painted it there because they fear him. He's the boogey man.
The press and the Dems target him because he is an asset. They now smell blood, and the scent is driving them nuts.
Lots of mixed metaphors there, but you should get my point.
That's not nearly enough for them. They want Cheney to crawl on his belly up to David Gregory and the rest of the jackals, and grovel and weep and beg for forgiveness from them, and then tearfully offer his resignation and just beg the authorities to come and get him and lock him up.
And even if Cheney were to abase himself so, they would still pummel him and kick him and heap scorn and ridicule on him forever. There's nothing he can do to satisfy the media, and I'm glad to see he isn't even bothering to try.
I can't remember how long it was from the time the Lewinsky story broke, to the day Clinton stood at that podium, shaking his finger at all of us, and proceeded to lie through his teeth. With Clinton, it wasn't a question of when he addressed the press, but whether what he said was the truth. I'm assuming that guy on Fox thinks that expediency in reporting something supercedes honesty and integrity.
I'm hoping he bitch-slaps the White House Press Corps.... it's the perfect opportunity to do so.
I suspected this is how he would handle it: an exclusive interview.
Excellent move.
Yes, I've been reporting that on the thread.
I love that he chose Brit!
