It's been a while since I mentioned something political.

Dick Cheney certainly knows good gun safety. I wonder if alcohol was involved? Aren't you supposed to look before you shoot, especially if you're turning around and following your prey? If this guy was approaching Cheney from behind it seems reasonable to assume he was making every effort to avoid the field of fire. What I seem to have missed in the reporting is the distance between Cheney and the victim. If anyone saw a report on that let me know as I'm a bit curious. The other thing that stinks is the question as to why it took hours to inform the White House and even longer to announce it to the media.

I don't really think there's a cover-up of anything nefarious...just a delay based on embarrassment and to ensure all stories were aligned properly.
