The only ones keeping this thing dripping is the ghoulish press that obviously hasn't had their fill yet. They want Cheney to apologize. But even that won't stop the redundant questions. Wait until Mr. Wittington gets out of the hospital. The press will hound him to death...literally.
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.
