A hunting we will go...

....no that wasn't what Dick Cheney was singing this past Friday night, it was what the MSM was singing after hearing about Cheney's hunting accident. Most remarkable about the story:

Delay with the news

Each of the hunters was wearing a bright orange vest at the time, Armstrong said.

The accident was not reported publicly by the vice president’s office for nearly 24 hours, and then only after it was reported by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times on its Web site Sunday.

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. (emphases added)

So the press goes on a hunting expedition of their own so as to look at the angle that will throw the most mud at the situation.

As a good friend related to me today, he'd still feel safer hunting with Dick Cheney than driving with Ted Kennedy.

At least Cheney didn't leave Whittington to die.
