Once again the whole liberal media has completely missed the point. Vice President Cheney was not recklessly handling a firearm; he was simply putting a Republican flair on Valentine's Day.
Here's what really happened: Cheney wanted to play Cupid for Whittington, but knew that a bow and arrow lacked the "oomph" necessary. As any would-be-Cupid knows, when someone's 78 you need more firepower. And nothing attracts the ladies like that rugged, shot-in-the-face look.
