Brit said that another crew in front of the WH when he arrived wanted to know why he and Fox got the interview. Brit said that Cheney probably wanted to go w/the network that had the largest audience. LOL

ZING!

I can't recall well enough to paraphrase... but every time the camera turns on him, his position is that Cheney, as Vice President, should have notified a National press within a couple of hours.

His key words were "as vice president".

I'm heartsick about him, snugs. Just heartbroken.

I'm not heartsick for the VP, I'm proud of him. Accidents happen in this imperfect world of ours. Sometimes they happen due to a momentary lapse, or due to outright negligence. However, most of the time they just happen for no reason than a confluence of random circumstances. This hunting accident was just such a situation.

There is something perverse in us human beings. Something that likes to be very judgmental of others, to second-guess, and to revel in their human failings -- even though we are subject to the same failings.

Leaving the matter of media notification aside, the Vice President has handled this near-tragedy with his usual class and dignity. He is an intensely reserved man and a rarity in this media-besotted age in which we live. Not only doesn't he seek out the media spotlight, but he tends to shy away from it. Many modern politicians and other public figures would trample their own mothers in their haste to run to a microphone at the slightest excuse. Dick Cheney is not now, nor has he ever been such a media whore.

I may be a minority of one in this opinion, but I applaud the Vice President for NOT thinking first and foremost of himself and the public relations aspects of this accident.

I noticed that Mara had no reaction to it.

Too much botox?

Hey Barnes...it's not a defining moment in Cheney's career.

The defining moment in Dick Cheney's superb career came on September 11, 2001 when he calmly handled the Washington part of the crisis from the White House situation room.

Assuming Mr. Whittington recovers fully, this accident is merely a footnote in the VP's bio.

I also imagine Cheney wanted Brit because he's one of the few true professionals left in the business.

"a profiling courage"???

You'd think the group at CNN would know the term "Profile in Courage" from JFK Sr.'s book--surely it was required reading.

Mort Kondracke needs to retire. Someone needs to have a serious talk with him and let him know just how ridiculous he makes himself look.

Great interview with the VP. That ought to shut the press up, and I have no doubt that it will not. Even in the worst year of her childhood, my daughter never had a temper tantrum that went on for four days...

The sheriff himself said they called him personally within ten minutes.

Correcto! I was at the doctors office yesterday and to my horror they had BOTH televisions on the ChickenNoodleNutwork, the captive folk weren't even paying attention to the story. I really believe the mediaWHORES are beating this horse to death...the people don't give a crap about the incident! They recognize it as an ACCIDENT...period!!
