  You are wrong

  Lynx,

  You are just another person trying to make more of this than there is:

  "If there's a hunting accident, it gets reported on the news."

  Local news, maybe, but not national, ad nauseam.

  "Of course, there's other news in this case: Cheney didn't report it right away and stonewalled the police until the following morning."

  You are wrong.

  From the York Dispatch:

  "Secret Service spokesman Eric Zahren said that about an hour after Cheney shot Whittington, the head of the Secret Service's local office called the Kenedy County sheriff to report the accident. "They made arrangements at the sheriff's request to have deputies come out and interview the vice president the following morning at 8 a.m. and that indeed did happen," Zahren said."

  Also

  "At least one deputy showed up at the ranch's front gate Saturday evening and asked to speak to Cheney but was turned away by the Secret Service, Zahren said. There was some miscommunication that arrangements already had been made to interview Cheney the next morning, he said."

  As for you ridiculing my byline in such a caustic and crueliscious way, I'm hurt, really, really hurt.

  Poco

  P.S. I am not a republican. I am not a democrat. I am a conservative. Not a lying, cheating, thieving "conservative", a real conservative.

  I am also exceptionally glad to say that I am not a liberal.
