The top ten questions the WH press corps would have asked...if only they had been there at the moment of the shooting:

10. Were you aiming at his chest or just in general?
9. How many beers did you drink at lunch and were you legally intoxicated by Texas standards?
8. Do you have a gun license and is the weapon registered in your name?
7. Were there any hookers with the hunting group?
6. When did you offically call the president and let him know that you screwed up?
5. If it took so long to notify the state game officials...was there some reason that you were illegally hunting there?
4. If your hunting partner had been a democrat...would it have made any difference?
3. How many people have you shot in your hunting career?
2. Did your medication cause loss of control of your mind?
1. Will you be hunting again next spring and can we tag along with you?

As stupid as these sound...they are likely true questions that the WH press would ask. Sad but true.

LOL, so true! Some of those questions may actually have been asked. I'll check the transcript again.

Actual WH press corps transcript:

Q Was it Cheney's gun? Is that his gun, that shotgun?

MR. MCCLELLAN: I'm sorry?

Q Was it the vice president's --

MR. MCCLELLAN: You'll have to talk to the vice president's office and check that fact.

Q You don't know?

MR. MCCLELLAN: You can check with their office.

-snip-

Q It doesn't make any sense, though. I mean, this happens at 5:30 on Saturday, and you're saying that until the morning, the president of the United States --

MR. MCCLELLAN: No, I didn't say that. I said there was additional information coming in later that evening and into the morning hours of Sunday.

Q You've got to clarify the timeline, Scott. That doesn't make any sense.

Q When did the president know the the vice president was the shooter? What time?

MR. MCCLELLAN: Again, there was additional information coming in that night. The details continued to come in throughout the morning into the Sunday morning time period.

Go ahead.

Q Scott?

Q The vice president did not call the president to tell him he was the shooter?

-snip-

Q Who was gathering the facts? Who was --

MR. MCCLELLAN: I'm sorry?

Q Who was doing that?

MR. MCCLELLAN: Well, I think there's information on the ground there, as well as information then being provided -- from the ground there being provided back here.

Q Right, and who was doing the providing? And who were they providing it to?

MR. MCCLELLAN: Well, people with the Vice President's Office. I think he can probably -- I will check with his office on more specifics.

Go ahead --

Q But when did the president specifically know that the vice president had shot somebody?

-snip-

Q So he knew -- so he knew Saturday evening --

Q Scott, definitively, did the president know --

MR. MCCLELLAN: Some additional information, yes, and that the vice president --

Q -- (inaudible) --

MR. MCCLELLAN: -- and that the vice president was involved, but didn't know the full facts of what had occurred.

Q How is that possible?

(Cross talk.)

Q Scott, he knew Saturday night?

MR. MCCLELLAN: Carl, go ahead.

Q He knew Saturday night?

-snip-

Q So on Sunday morning at 6:00 --

MR. MCCLELLAN: Right.

Q -- you were clear personally that the vice president had in fact been the shooter.

MR. MCCLELLAN: That's correct. That's correct.

Q Thank you. MR. MCCLELLAN: I'm sorry? Q When did the president know that the vice president --

The WH press corps has to be the most inane, bumbling, irrelevant troop of a-holes I've ever heard. And that's the best thing I can say.
