Clinton: Secrecy Sparked Shooting Reaction
23 minutes ago
Former President Clinton said Sunday the Bush administration's "enormous penchant for secrecy" sparked the strong reaction to Vice President Dick Cheney's shooting mishap.
"We have people quite often who are shot in quail incidents, so I didn't feel the need to get into the pile-on," Clinton said Sunday on ABC's "Good Morning America."
Cheney has been criticized for not disclosing the shooting on Feb. 11 of Texas lawyer Harry Whittington until the following day.
"I think the White House should have said something about it sooner," Clinton said. "I think that it's gotten a little more light than it would have because the administration has an enormous penchant for secrecy for not telling anybody anything about anything."
The shooting had little impact on public opinion about the job done by Cheney, which was already low. A Time magazine poll found 29 percent of those surveyed approve of the job done by Cheney, close to the 32 percent approval for the vice president in November.

LOL! That's a winner.
Two thinhgs here. Bubba implies he's above trashing Cheney, WHILE he's trashing Cheney.
Second, there isn't a pile Clinton wouldn't like to join...
And after Clinton told Georgie that "...the administration has an enormous penchant for secrecy for not telling anybody anything about anything", Georgie said, "I guess from your own experience of keeping your relationship with Monica a secret from your wife, the media, and America, you know what you speak of?" And Clinton responded...
I wish!
You acared the hell out of me. Don't do that without a warning.
You are not alone in this.
I find that low-life so annoying that if the History Channel is running anything with him in it I hit the mute button or change the channel.
I refuse to hear the words of Slick Willy.
That is funnnnnnnnny! I laughted and laughed looking at that picture. Then I had a nightmare...it really could happen! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
You are good!
What do you think it did to me when I opened the email with that thing staring me in the face..LOL!I will warn you next time...maybe...
And I wonder why after the Lott/Thurmond incident, the reporting of Byrd's last lynching wasn't reported in a timely expose?
and the secret is kept!!
I got this from a friend and was waiting for the perfect time to use it...LOL!
And the MSM did nothing to investigate the death. And speaking of secrets, how about those mysterious FBI files tht turned up in the WH? The Clintons are beyond vile.
Or George could have asked him if he thought Cheney killed Harry Whittington's cat.
She also might have said: "I didn't have sex with my fellow lawyer named Foster. Just ask his widow."
Has he returned the Whitehouse silverware yet?
Well said- eventually it will come out- but probably not in our lifetimes.
The missus also might have said: "I didn't have sex with my fellow lawyer named Foster. Just ask his widow."
When the Clinton's shoot their lawyer, he stays dead.

Beautiful!
Perhaps if one is a Friend of Bill. I suspect he misspoke. I know of nobody who is shot quite often in quail incidents. After the first time, they tend to be much more safety conscientious.
Rather, we have incidents quite often of people shot, who are hunting quail.
