The Cheney story is so overblown it’s pathetic. I read the transcript of the white house gaggle on Monday and it sounded like a bunch of spoiled children asking why they couldn’t buy the toy. Seriously.

And then I hear daniel schorr on NPR this afternoon WASTING THREE MINUTES OF PRECIOUS PUBLIC AIR SPACE going on and on about this as if it were watergate 2,342. Reminds me why I am not a member.

Was it “just an ordinary hunting accident?” Certainly not. But it was significantly less than it’s been made out to be by the press, which apparently can’t find any REAL NEWS to report about in Washington these days.
