He knows he was ridiculous and now he's making excuses for himself. Sorry, Greg, you are still ridiculous.
David's comment that it "looked like Cheney had something to hide" says it all about this "journalist" (read democrat). He immediately put on his tin foil hat and looked for the worst, without giving any consideration to the victim in this story. Typical. David did great damage to the Washington "press corps" because his antics demonstrated yet again, that this group of arrogant, elite, self-absorbed individuals think they are the center of the universe. He was mad because the story was released to local media instead of the ever-self-important press corps.
