Um...I Didn't Do It!
Well, as the Daily Show put it, Cheney shot a man in his face (amusing show, by the way). In actuality, it probably wasn't in his face, but I doubt that he would like to be shot anyway. To make things worse, MSNBC reported that he suffered a "silent" heart attack (story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11340558/). This is just not his day.
The press had a problem with this in that it took the White House 22 hours to report it. I can understand their need to delay the news about this, since this is terrible news and probably need to get as mcuh info as possible. Scott McClellan, however, was in his usual stance of not saying anything, even for things which he should obviously know, like if Cheney has a proper licence (which he didn't, but I won't fault him since it was a new program). I think McClellan has the most lax homework policy ever, since he doesn't need to.
Unless this was a very negligent event, the news networks are making too much of this. Yes, a man was shot (in his face), but aren't there more serious things to monitor?
