51. A wake-up call for the MSM and the people?
If Cheney can try and coverup what should have been a simple accident, they may be wondering what else is being covered up in this criminal administration ?

from my red state local paper:

The Virginian-Pilot
© February 14, 2006

Vice President Dick Cheney’s penchant for secrecy helps define this administration, but it’s hard to believe that even he thought he could shoot a guy without telling the American people

It’s understandable — wrong, but understandable — if the vice president wants to keep secret the fact that he asked oil companies to draw up the administration’s energy plan. Or if he’d prefer that Congress take its oversight responsibility to an undisclosed location and bury it.

But obscuring the fact that the vice president shot a 78-year-old man, even if it wasn’t his fault, is not that kind of thing. There’s no separation of powers at stake, no executive privilege. Just a vice president and a shotgun and a victim.

That Dick Cheney and his staff wanted to keep Saturday’s incident quiet leaves Americans to wonder what else he’s trying to keep secret, and whether the justification he claims is any more substantial than the smoke wafting from the barrel of a freshly fired shotgun.
