I'm surprised they even mention Chappaquidick. The two things are so obviously different.
I hope the Russian wins. That punk Weir deserves to fall on his face.
A Chappaquiddick comparison would be great, many millions of Americans do not know what happened there, the counter arguments would be very effective in bringing the truth to a whole new generation.
lol. Without a doubt you would win that bet.
This fuss about Cheney reminds me of nothing so much as the manufactured controversy about the GOP campaign ad in 1998 (?) which displayed a picture of dhimmicrat politicians, allegedly with a superimposed subliminal message spelling "RATS."
An O'Reilly repeat from a couple hours ago beats Anderson Cooper, who has had nothing but fawning press? LOL
How in the hell do you equate an accidental shooting where the victim recieves immediate medical attention but you don't tell the press to being drunk, driving your car off a bridge and leaving a drowning girl to die while you go sober up before you report it?
Exactly. I thought the same thing.
David Gregory's audience are mainly the elderly, who formed their news viewing habits during the Kennedy administration and haven't changed since then, and the infirm trapped in day rooms of nursing homes across America.
Yeah, Cheney did not let Harry Whittington to bleed to death.
They are similar in that the press was not immediately notified about an accident. In neither case was it the principal's duty to notify the press about anything. They differ in that Teddie did not notify people who could have possible rescued the victim and did not notify authorities as the law requires. Cheney and company rushed to have the victim taken care of and local authorities, the ones required to know, were properly notified.
I compare the MSM to a pack of Rabid Dogs when a story concerns bad news about Republicans, These same MSM can be compared to sleeping dogs when Dems are involved.
Its actually pathetic. they are embarrassing themselves.
This story deserved a few jokes from liberals like Jay Leno and let it pass on , It isnt a big story. Certainly not worth all the inuendo and BS coming from the Msm.
Just for the record, how is the 78 year old in the hospital doing?
Very interesting demographics on talk radio listeners.
Yes they are different. But both involve accidents, and both involve delayed reporting of the accidents.
Can you be so sure that no one in the hunting party had drunk any alcohol? If there was some drinking going on, do you think the Prez and Veep would want that generally known, or would prefer that it not be publicized?
I like Bush, and I like Cheney, and I wasn't there. I am more than willing to take at face value, as the truth, anything Dick Cheney says about what happened.
But when anyone, including a powerful politician, discharges a firearm and hits someone, he has to be prepared to explain exactly what he was doing and how it happened. And even answer tough questions about alcohol and the reporting delay.
Ignoring the Painfully Obvious:
This time it really is Bush's Fault!
Stop for one second.
Who else had the authority to set the timing on this story release?
This is a wonderful example of the Total Failure of the Imagination...on everyone's part.
