[...] Rick Moran (Right Wing Nut House) wonders about all the secrecy [...]

Considering the wonderfully unbiased treatment of this administration by the media (**COUGH**), I’m surprized. NOT. And I do believe that the Corpus Christi Caller-Times was notified in time to print a small article in their Sunday editions and on the web (nearest city of any size), but the prima-donnas in Washington weren’t. Of course, THAT newspaper doesn’t count, you know.

The Washington Press Corps: We’re full of ourselves and it shows.

This was a non-story until Cheney and his people decided to delay the inevitable. The privacy of the shootee was gone once the Secret Service telephoned the Sheriff’s office at about 830pm. Too bad this story overshadowed Gore’s ranting in Saudi Arabia. Wasn’t that against some law?

I couldn’t agree more with the author. Some people are so rabidly partisan (including the majority of posters above) that they are incapable of looking at this sorry episode objectively. They are so blinded by partisan zeal (not of conservative ideals, mind you, but personalities) that even the most mild criticism of the president is enough to be flamed over. This mindset is to be expected out of the Left, but I believe conservatives are better than that.

And BTW, remember what happened to Job when he doubted…

Ditto what Mitzi said in #27.

Kender #26,

“…that she (it?) lacks the modicum of cognizence that is required for the concurrent activities of ambulation and mastication, and the simple fact that it can type, much less spell correctly.”

Buy a dictionary. I’m sure you didn’t intend to become a joke, but the humor was too much to resist.

OT: This was kind of weird reading this entry, with Rick and Mitzi’s contributions. (My ex-wife is remarried to a guy named Rick, both of whom I get along great with, BTW.) Especially when I got to #27, damn near creepy, cause she thinks just like that!

You are still way off base. The gentleman who was shot was the one who needed his privacy protected and he released the information when he thought it was the proper time. If you watched the idiots at the White House News briefing today you should understand what a circus the former MSM would have created at the hospital. They sing and dance and insult their opponents at funeral, so why would you think they wouldn’t make a**e* of themselves at a hospital.
The left wing has went stark raving mad because of the loss of several elections in a row. The only people in the world that compares with them today is the raving lunitic Islamic movement killing their own people and destroying their property. I fully expect the lefties to start burning and killing any day.

I’m having a hard time understanding the fury over the reporting of this incident. If the accident happened at 5:30 on Saturday night, and was then reported on Sunday morning, is all this fuss really over 12 to 14 hours delay? Or is it really about the MSM “feeling” scooped and left out? If Cheney had killed the guy, or been at fault, maybe that would have been different. I just don’t get it.
