"Whatever he does at his point, Sabato said that the episode, which might have been a fleeting if embarrassing incident, now becomes forever associated with the vice-president."

If I had a choice for being remembered as:

1) Tripping over my own feet
2) Attacking a killer rabbit
3) Using a chubby intern as a humidor
4) The Shooter

I'd pick #4.

South Africa??? Sorry but they don't get a say in that.

Tonight on MSNBC they’re making a big deal about the fact that Whiitington today said the shooting was on Friday not Saturday.

And, they also are making a big deal out of .....the sketch of his wounds were on the left side of his face, and in actuality they are on the right side of his face.

These guys will not stop!

THe really bizarre thing about this is how they're accusing VP Cheney of doing exactly what Ted Kennedey did, and while they did everything they could to protect Ol Water Wings, they're doing everything they can to destroy Mr. Cheney. Of course, the difference is that while "the Swimmer" played up to the press, Cheney did what was right, in contacting the authorities first (as opposed to contacting the press first), and seeing to the medical needs of his friend (as opposed to letting his "friend" drown...)

VP Cheney showed EXCELLENT JUDGEMENT in caring about his friend, as opposed to caring about the press and politics first!

I believe this headline has been recurring since before November 2000.

"Respected New York Times columnist Bob Herbert"

Anyone who thinks Bob Herbert is respected by anyone but morons is too dense to understand anything.

The local Muslim ( American Convert to Islam, took up flight lessons soon after, hates the Bush admin as much as he hates us infidels ) actually said he felt sorry for Dick Cheney over this and then admitted that it takes an awful lot for him to feel sorry for that #$@%^#$%@$@#%.

Point being if even he is bothered by this coverage its so far over the top its left the solar system.
