The editorial is only availible to NYTimes paying costumers.The editorial in today's local paper by Bob Herbert of the times had just one line of any note ..."This story is never going away.Harry Whittington is Dick Cheney's Monica....This will stick to Cheney like Crazy glue and that's bad news for the Bush administration."

How long can the press keep it up?

[JennysCool]

More Times wishful thinking.

As long as they want...

Bad news? LOL more like energizing the base against the lamestream media. Yes please keep it up.

[GianniV]

PLEASE - keep talking about it, Bob.

They've been looking for Bush's version of the impeachment story, and they haven't found it. They're so desperate, they're now lurching toward his VP.

What they don't understand is that, no matter how un-PC it is, the fact that the victim didn't die, and isn't claiming Cheney intended to hurt him, will make this a one-liner. It's something Letterman will joke about forever because he hates Bush, but eventually people just won't care. (They hardly care now.)

Hmm. Oral sex in the White House, between a man of power and a vulnerable intern or a hunting accident?

Gosh, it'd take a hard core liberal to equate the two.

Bob is a journalist? Maybe he's telegraphing his moves. Unbiased? Hardly. What a joke the NYT has become.

They need to embrace a "Stop Jihad Now!" pose to have any hope of a future.

Lets see how hard they report on the Union Lobbyists spending millions more on political support then on their own union members... that story will be breaking next week... but all the media will do is stick with Cheney..

[PA Engineer]

No Mr. Herbert. The occupation media is headed for extinction one way or another. The story is not about Vice President Cheney any longer. The story is about you and the media.

[right right]

Dead story walking.

Considering Cheney has too many health issues to think about running for President, I really don't see the point. It is not like he is going to be impeached over this. If for some reason Cheney would resign, I don't see that as a positive development for Democrats.

...will stick to Cheney like Crazy glue and that's bad news for the Bush administration

Duh! In order for Mrs. Clinton to become our next POTUS the current VPOTUS be come do-o-o-o-wn.

Now is the time to start placing the bets.

Ol' Bob's got a future in absurdist comedy writing, I see.

[Kimmers]

Obvious the press is ignoring the comments by Mr. Whittington after his release from the hospital. He called this an accident and all seems forgiven. The press should do the same because it does not concern them or any of the rest of us......I know that would be expecting too much from the left

[therut]

I just talked to my mother. She said everyone she knows is saying how the Media is making a fool of themselves.

[No Truce With Kings]

"How long can the press keep it up?"

For as long as they are irrelevant.

Chney's retiring after 2008. Much as I regret that decision Cheney has no career to "blight." No one cares about a hunting accident -- except the lamestream media. And the more they flog this story the less relevant they will appear.

In a month no one will recall this
