I'm surprised they even mention Chappaquidick. The two things are so obviously different.

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.

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.

I thought all MSM brains had been washed of all memory of Chappaquidick. Chappaquidick, to them, is a non-place. Mary Jo Kopechne is a non-person to the Left Wing MSM. How could our noble, unbiased MSM have resurrected this event??

Yes but now that they have, I'd call it fair game.

Absolutely Correct, Democratshavenobrains.

"...this incident reminds me a bit of Sen. Edward Kennedy's delay in informing Massachusetts authorities about his role in the fatal automobile accident at Chappaquiddick in 1969."


The authorities in the Cheney case AND the paramedics were notified almost immediately while Kennedy's inaction probably cost a women her life

They mention Chappaquiddick in the hopes they can innoculate the next demo contender against his (or HER) own scandals. By playing up the hunting incident, trying to set it up as on the swimmer's stature, they pray to their secular god that the comparison will allow something truly bad to slip through later on.
