Questions about why Vice President Dick Cheney did not tell the public that he had accidentally shot Texas lawyer Harry Whittington during a quail hunting outing in Texas on Saturday continue to persist. Now the White House is under fire for not releasing information on the Cheney shooting quickly enough.

ABC ? Is that some kind of tv channel ?
Why did Ted Kennedy wait so long to report the fatal accident at Chappaquitic? Why did the Clinton White House wait so long to report the "suicide" of Vince Foster?
ABC- All Bulls--t about Cheney
I got stuck in traffic last night and was listening to some POS radio program from DC, the idiots on there were claiming Chenay was drunk, the he had to be sadeted after the shooting, the radio announcer tried to compare the 18 hours Cheney took to get in the news to the missing 18 minute of the watergate tapes. It was hilarious until I realised these people were serious. Crazy, they are all certified Loonie Tunes.

That depends on whether it was Dan Rather or Monica.
Even the most apolitical of my friends is getting extremely irritated by this story.
"errr *hic* Whyy did the Vice President delay *hic* making this public *hic*? Whyyy did he let her drown in the car *hic* ooops, I mean why did he *hic* take his time to ahhnswer questions? *Hic*"
Upon realizing he had just shot Mr. Whittington, Cheney should have rushed to a microphone. If necessary he should have been airlifted to the nearest TV station with a network tie in and made the anouncement. That was much more important than getting medical help for Mr. Whittington, in fact, by getting his priorities screwed up and immediately getting aid to the shootee he cheated the honorable members of the press out of a significant story.Whittington should have died in order for the Press to be able to report something of substance. It's all bush's fault and his running dog Whittington.
Google now lists 4,468 recent news articles on this controversy. It's beyond insane.
Hitlery needs to sit down and stfu.
With cap guns and wet caps. The antagonists have to yell bang bang real loud.
Have you ever heard the adage that there's a find line between arrogant stupidity and guts?
I think that Senator Cankles was asked for a comparison to these issues and responded that "she couldn't recall".
And they get a pass with their double-standards of what is bad taste, as well.
I heard Leno make a "joke" the other night that the only problem with the Cheney accident is that it wasn't President Bush he was hunting with.
Rush is the one that said that originally, on his Monday show.
Hey, liberals are now saying it is even more suspicious because Captain Kirk is involved..
