Next Time, Bring Bush

The Vice President of the United States shot someone yesterday.

And we didn't find out about it until today.

These are the facts:

Vice President Cheney was on a hunting trip down in Texas with some friends. Somehow at some point on this trip a 78-year-old gentleman named Harry Whittington got in between a Republican and a gun -- which is never a bright idea. The net result of this incident is that Cheney shot Whittington in the face and neck, putting him in the hospital.

Now you would think that the vice president shooting someone -- albeit accidentally -- would be something that should be filed under the heading "news." Yet somehow the Vice President's office saw fit not to release this information for 24 hours, only after it was made public by the local media.

Doesn't this make you wonder what else they're choosing not to tell us?
