Yeah, just like nobody remembers Aaron Burr. The fact is, when ANY famous figure shoots somebody, it's newsworthy. We still remember Claudine Longet, for heavens' sake. That said, I don't think this will have any long-term negative consequences for Cheney, but to pretend it's not newsworthy is just sticking your head in the sand.
Claudine Longet?
Never heard of her, should I google it?
TT
