Affidavits back Cheney's account of shooting

A newspaper is supposed to be the first draft of history. This is an example of the first rewrite.
And, what this paper is trying to do is establish this 22 hour lie as the basis for continuing stories on the Veep, which will always include a graph like, "the secretive, phantomlike vice president is still nursing the public relations blunder of hiding the shooting story for almost a full day..."

Good point once you are in an ambulance it is official

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The entire huffing and puffing has attempted to suggest something was hidden. The MSM never did make that stick because Cheney never wavered from one discussion of the events. Reporters love to do split screens and "he said then, he says now," pieces to keep a dead story alive.
As they say in Vegas, "they crapped out".

Doesn't look anything like the Newsweek description of him does it?

Cheney, the conservative that moderates once seemed to like, has strangely iced over in recent years. Even his old friends sometimes wonder if he has not grown angrier, more suspicious, even paranoid.

[Revolting cat!]

All lies! Haliburton, Kenny Boy, WMDS, Global Warming!

[fhlh]

It did... I know about it last week, but David Gregory buried it so he could throw his 'it's all about me' hissy fit.

It dried up even after the "unbiased" media promised it would never go away!

[snugs]

Where are these supposed friends the reports I always read about friends from years past say he has in essence not changed and that he and Lynne are still the same down to earth people they were.

It is interesting that their are many reports that they are still in contact with friends from their early days in Wyoming.

The left show their true colours they cannot understand this man who has a 30 year history of public service but will not play the public relation game.

Despite what they say we know he is not the dark evil man they portray.

But - the hunting story didn't have legs, and it looks like the port story has very short legs.
What are the Dems to do??? There's got to be a *story*. Is there a way to blame Bush for the wheat and eggs in McD's fries?

I fasten my trusty tin foil hat and wait for the inevitable fallout.

Actually, the story would still be around if something juicier (the UAE port facilities uproar) hadn't come up. It's funny how an allegedly "big" story drops like a stone when another "big" story comes up. Happens all the time.

Evidence?....

Third and fourth hand hearsay doesn't qualify....

Evidence anyone?

...

Anyone?

...

Anyone?

[COEXERJ145]

Nope, everything Cheney said is a lie.

I saw it on Liberty Post so it must be true.

Note: This is Sarcasm.

I realize this isn't Fox News, but these people have gotten things correct before.

I was merely posting a link to a source of information. If folks can post links to "conservative" blogs here, then I should be able to post links like this.

Of course, if the Veep was drunker than a skunk....Fox news wouldn't have that story now would they.

[The_Victor]

I don't have a problem with you posting the link, and I actually went and read it. It rubbish based upon unnamed sources who say they spoke to someone who knows the security detail who was present at the time.....

I don't know if Cheney was drunk or not. He says he wasn't and the affidavits back up that claim. I think the sworn testimony of the people who were there outweighs the hearsay mumblings of a reporter who could easily be making his entire story up.
