Sabato is one of the dumbest but extremely overrated political analysts in the country, he is always wrong in his analysis and predictions.

"[Had the news been disclosed Saturday night or Sunday morning] It would have been a serious story, but it would have been a one-day story, with a follow-up on the gentleman's health."

Oh yeah, right.

So let me get this straight.

Cheney goes hunting and ACCIDENTLY shoots his friend, and because he didn't go running to tell the New York Times and the rest of the MSM about it right away he should step down.

Bill Clinton, among many other things, rapes one woman, commits adultery with another who just happened to be a White House intern, sells nuclear secrets to China for campaign donations, and lies under oath while in front of Congress, and the MSM treats him like he is the greatest leader in our nation's history.

OK, got it.

The really sad part is that there are literally tens of millions of people in this country who believe and follow the rancid bile that the MSM pushes.

"This is a classic one." Oh really Larry?

How about the "classic" Chappaquiddick damage control effort when "The Swimmer" waited nine hours before notifying the police that one of his female volunteer staffers had drowned in his car submerged in a tidal pool?

Or... how about "classic" Monicagate damage control when Clinton had members of his own Cabinet unwittingly lie for him ON CAMERA no less? Give me a break!

Well, something's out of control but it's neither Cheney nor the situation. Haven't seen the media in such a case of collective vapors since...oh, since Fitzmas. But hey, if a big gun like Herbert says he's gotta go, what's 200+ years of Constitutional law to get in the way?

Now, you want to see a case of mass hysteria, wait until the nameplate "Cheney" is replaced by "Rice."

"Whatever he does at his point, Sabato said that the episode, which might have been a fleeting if embarrassing incident, now becomes forever associated with the vice-president."

If I had a choice for being remembered as:

1) Tripping over my own feet
2) Attacking a killer rabbit
3) Using a chubby intern as a humidor
4) The Shooter

I'd pick #4.

2) Attacking a killer rabbit

I don't recall all the details of that particular incident, but shouldn't it be "2) Being attacked by a killer rabbit"?

Liberals believe in the selective right to privacy. Only pukes like Clinton, Kennedy, and Kerry can ever expect to have their privacy rights defended by that bunch of lowlifes.

Yes, rectal openings like that raging metrosexual, David Gregory. Maybe "raging two-year-old" is more apt.

The Washington pressies are more fun to watch than their arrogance will allow them to realize.

Tonight on MSNBC they’re making a big deal about the fact that Whiitington today said the shooting was on Friday not Saturday.

And, they also are making a big deal out of .....the sketch of his wounds were on the left side of his face, and in actuality they are on the right side of his face.

These guys will not stop!

THe really bizarre thing about this is how they're accusing VP Cheney of doing exactly what Ted Kennedey did, and while they did everything they could to protect Ol Water Wings, they're doing everything they can to destroy Mr. Cheney. Of course, the difference is that while "the Swimmer" played up to the press, Cheney did what was right, in contacting the authorities first (as opposed to contacting the press first), and seeing to the medical needs of his friend (as opposed to letting his "friend" drown...)

VP Cheney showed EXCELLENT JUDGEMENT in caring about his friend, as opposed to caring about the press and politics first!

I think all White House press releases should be made to smaller news outlets throughout Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana from now on.

Let the vultures in the northeast corridor beg for scraps.

The media are playing with a stacked deck. If Sabato had any credibility beforehand, he has squandered quite a bit of it with his laughable "analysis" of this incident...

Not only that, but the media is "crying their collective eyes out" over how "secretive" this administration is... I can't imagine why! Before President Bush was even elected, he was savaged by the press as being a nit-wit, formrely drunken "party boy." And do you remember the word, "gravitas?" That was the word that the MSM used to describe the VP candidate that President Bush's handlers (remember, he was that nit-wit, light-weight) would need to select, to really run the country. What they got was a serious man with lots of executive experience in the "real world," something that simply scares the liberal press. And the fact that he got rich running on of the biggest companies in the world immediately made VP Cheney their enemy, since good people don't get rich by running big companies, unless they're leftists who spout the leftist lines.

So, the MSM savaged both President Bush and Vice President Cheney relentlessly, saying terrible things, repeating lies, and making the overseas press believe all those things. So, the rest of the world bought what the American MSM was saying, hook, line, and sinker, and then pointed at the overseas press as proof that the Administration was inept and The President a flake.

Personally, this whole incident has given me an even lower impression of the press, something that I really didn't think was possible.

I believe this headline has been recurring since before November 2000.

Agreed. Even I thought they knew when they had jumped the shark.

But we must remember, a narcissist always believes they are beautiful, smart, popular, witty, and worthy of praise.

"Respected New York Times columnist Bob Herbert"

Anyone who thinks Bob Herbert is respected by anyone but morons is too dense to understand anything.
