What you just laid out is about how I understand the whole thing, I've been on FR today and had FNC on. Sounds like Whittington is going to be okay.
What I really don't understand about this is the venom the MSM and Dem political pundits have for Cheney. I know he's hated by them but this fiasco is so transparent I think it's going to come back to bite them.
They're ignoring other news over this and this accident is a personal thing and has nothing to do with American's security or our nation. It's plain old 'gotcha' politics.
Thanks for your update.It's definitely 'gotcha',no doubt about it.
The dems can't help themselves and their reaction is so boring and so predictable.
The antique media,even given their anti-Bush everthing transparency, is a little different.I think they're just plain lazy.This is an easy story to blow all out of proportion without lifting a finger.
Why dig for real news and disrupt your cocktail circuit schedule when you can dream up new angles on this one and pound Scott McClellan day after day?
Malkin nails it, American Clown Journalism 101.Invent the news and head for the keg party.
