Okay, the fact that this is STILL a news story is amazing to me. I've had enough. The media is upset that they weren't contacted immediately about this and they aren't letting it go. And now Democrats are using this as an opportunity to jump on the administration.
What happened wasn't exactly a matter of national importance. I don't think the media was entitled to know right away. Their ego was hurt and now they're decrying the administrations as "secretive."
The media should get off its high horse and find something significant to report.
Accidents happen. Cheney wasn't doing anything illegal and he didn't do anything intentionally wrong. If he was a little careless, the facts will come out in due time. But we all (except for Tuckster) are careless at times. Cheney didn't do anything "evil." And I'm tired of the media and the democrats crucifying the poor guy.
Sheesh. Get a life people!

I kind of agree with you. However, if Mr. Whittington should die, our VP will be charged with manslaughter. Carelessness is not a good quality in our second-in-command.
However, I think the press is overreacting.... Did they really expect to be the first person Cheney called? I think they are feeling bad that they didn't get to be there to see the blood and ambulances and improve their ratings. If this had not been disclosed and had "leaked out" that would be another thing, but they were notified within a reasonable period.
I think we should cut Mr. Cheney some slack, but how we would react if it had been Bill Clinton? Turnabout is fair play and he certainly has given his critics some good fodder. -rlr
Would Mr. Cheney be convicted of manslaughter for simply being careless or only wrongful death civil liability? You guys are lawyers you should know!
Good point, Anon. Unless Mr. Cheney was somehow grossly negligent, I doubt he would be charged with manslaughter. However, I'm not the expert in criminal law that Tuckster is.
You mean "...that Tuckster THINKS he is."
