What's the big deal about Cheney not having made a statement. Do people really think he did it on purpose? And even if he did, do they think he can't lie about it? We all know it's perfectly acceptable for govt officials to lie whenever it's convenient.
I think my press conference would be like this:
Me: I accidentally shot a good friend of mine. Any questions?
What the hell is a report gonna ask? Did you do it on purpose?
Jack and Ron were all hysterical this morning because "you only need 24 hours to make up a lie, you can tell the truth immediately". Make up what lie? A cover up for attempted murder? Is that really their implication? What a couple of complete morons. Like the VP of the frickin United States would shoot someone himself. Holy crap. The idiocy of some people astounds me!

I like to hunt live animals. Many of my friends do as well. In December, one of my friends always invites 15-20 of us to his land to hunt deer. I never go. To me, the more people you have out on a hunt, the more chance for an accident to occur. And in deer season...you just don't want to be part of an accidental shooting involving a deer rifle.
Cheney's hunting party down there seemed like it had too many folks. I could be wrong. All the same, no one seems to be making enough jokes about a lawyer being shot.
