Luis asks:

I think I can ask you a question and get an honest answer.

If this had been 1998 instead of 2005, if the shooter had been Al Gore instead of Dick Cheney, and if everything else about this story remained exactly the same...what would the majority of the people in this forum, you and I included, be saying?

A) COVER UP!!!
-- I'd say about 20-25% of the FR posters of that day would have overreacted, -- lead by silly rabble rouser's like Navigator; Mojo; go bill go; -- types like that..

B) No big deal...nothing to see, move along.
-- 75-80% of FReepers back then were gun savvy hunting types who would have scoffed at a simple hunting accident being blown out of proportion.

I'm having flashbacks reading what you two are posting.

Am I the only one who thinks that later tis year Cheney will retire for medical reasons and Rice will be appointed.

ROFLMAO. God love ya!

And it would be the EXACT same posters who went bezerk when they THOUGHT Alito had already made a bad ruling from the bench a few weeks ago.
