"I don't need to have a reason for wanting to know why it took so long to get the story out."
So YOU are charged with determining right and wrong. I shall check with you when the need arises!

That said, the Veep is a public figure and I believe I have a right to know what happened - including the reason for the delay in getting the story out.
