Cheney shoots man for sport
Oh, okay. Cheney accidentally shot a man while engaging in sport. The headline is biased. To make up for my bias, let's take the story from a strong conservative point-of-view:
Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a 78-year-old hunting companion during a weekend quail hunting trip after the man went to retrieve a bird and Cheney failed to spot him.
So much for the culture of life, eh?
Harry Whittington, an Austin attorney, was in stable condition late Sunday in the intensive care unit at a Corpus Christi hospital, where he was flown after the shooting late Saturday afternoon at the Armstrong Ranch.
...Whittington sent word through a hospital official that he would have no comment on the incident out of respect for Cheney.
Respect...or fear?
She said Whittington went to retrieve a bird he shot. Cheney and the third hunter, whom she would not identify, walked to another spot and discovered a second covey of quail.
It's Cheney. There's always something to hide.
McBride said the vice president's office did not tell reporters about the accident Saturday because they were deferring to Armstrong to handle the announcement of what happened on her property.
Armstrong said everyone at the ranch was so "focused" on Whittington's health Saturday that it wasn't until Sunday she called the Caller-Times to report the accident. Her ranch is about 60 miles southwest of Corpus Christi.
That's taking private property rights to the extreme. I would defer to the guy who got shot in the face. Cheney defers to the person who owns the property the guy who got shot in the face was standing upon.
It's a good thing we're past the politics of personal destruction. If this were 1996, we'd have to have an independent counsel look into whether Cheney was trying to send a message to Scooter Libby.
