ToiletGate
Today's top story: Toiletgate.
As first reported here, there is now a full-blown cover up going on in Washington. There is a complete and total news blackout on this serious topic, of which the people have a right to now. The Vice President's press secretary was finally reached for comment:
I. P. Freely, ABC: Mr. Vice President's Press Secretary, we need to know, we have a RIGHT to know -- did the Vice President indeed use the toilet at approximately 6am EST this morning?
Mr. Vice President's Press Secretary: I'm not answering that, you moron.
Anita Man, cBS: Sir, sir, can you please comment on how the Vice President's use of the toilet may be perceived by the French and other countries?
Press Secretary: Where are you people from?
Ben Dover, CAIR: As a representative of muslim terrorists around the world, I need to know what the actual content was of the movement of the Vice President. The terrorist muslim community around the world is certainly offended at this use of the toilet, but we do not know how offended to be without knowing if the Vice President had eaten pork before heading to the toilet.
Press Secretary: Was that even a question, you idiot?
Al Koholic, DNC: So are you confirming now that the Vice President did indeed go, and he went #2? We have a right to know!
Press Secretary: I'm leaving now, you people are actually draining MY intelligence.
Hillary Clinton, taking over the microphone: "A tendency of this administration -- from the top all the way to the bottom -- is to withhold information ... to refuse to be forthcoming about information that is of significance and relevance to the jobs that all of you do, and the interests of the American people."

If anything illustrates the deep divide between right and left in this country, the shooting incident does.
On the Left, bloggers would have you believe that the Vice President was performing a gangland slaying.
The Right would have you think that what the Vice President did was no worse than using a pay toilet.
Vice President Cheney today took full responsibility for the accidental shooting of his friend today.
This is the act of an adult, something we could all do to emulate.
This event is serious. Not attempted murder serious, but serious. A man's life is threatened. We should not be puffing it up, nor putting it down.
My prayers go out, both to the injured man, and to Mr. Cheney, a grown man, who is going to have this hovering over him for at least as long a a certain incident has haunted Senator Kennedy. Or until he dies, whichever comes first.

Small Town Hick, I think you missed the point here -- this was making fun of the PRESS, not the shooting incident!

No, I got it.
And I was referring to the press, as well.
And to the bloggers.
No one is treating this incident as what it is. It is either an impeachable offense (left) or a bit of fluff (right).
It is not an impeachable offense to accidentally shoot a man. Even if you are the Vice President.
It is not going overboard, however, to mention on the news that the Vice President of the United States has shot somebody. It's the price of fame.

It's fair to say the President himself would have handled this incident a heckuvalot better than the Veep did, and that is probably what has the MSM up in arms; well part of what does.
The President would have called an immediate press release, as he did 11 years ago when he was involved in his own hunting accident. It wasn't nearly as serious as the one Cheney was involved in obviously, where a man's life hangs in the balance, but it was definitely an uncomfortable situation to say the least.
It demonstrates a vast gap in integrity between the Veep and his boss.
That said, I shall now go fetch a beer from my fridge ;-)
Blog ON y'all...

Hick, there's a specific reason I didn't mention the hunting incident AT ALL -- because I am NOT making light of the accident! I'm not commenting AT ALL on the shooting.
I am commenting on the incredible self-centeredness of the press. I am commenting on the press' incessent complaining that they are not immediately informed of every single thing that THEY want to know about.
This has nothing to do with the hunting incident, and everything to do with how much the press thinks EVERYONE owes them EVERYTHING.
