Vice President Dick Cheney apparently broke the No. 1 rule of hunting: be sure of what you're shooting at. (more here)
The "Cheney-Shoots-A-Friend-and-Mum's-the-Word" story we're calling "Quail Mail" apparently has legs. The press briefing today would have been a great ticket to have...David and Scotty went at it - would have been fun to be a fly on that wall.
Hey, didn't the Veep rip Kerry apart for his duck hunting outfit during the 2004 elections? Didn't Cheneny make some comment about, "guess he (Kerry) doesn't hunt much he, he, he". Well well well. "Mr. Vice President, read your hunting safety book much?" Ha!
And we love what the WaPo is writing today: "No one is suggesting that Cheney shot his hunting buddy on purpose. But could he have been negligent? What does he say happened exactly? What do the others there -- not just their hostess -- say took place? Shouldn't there be some sort of investigation? Does Cheney take any responsibility? And just when was he planning on letting the press know?"
And we at Post An Apology want to know...will he apologize. As always, we'll issue an open invitation here to Mr. Cheney to come clean on our site.
