Welcome to Chappaquiddick, Mr. Cheney
The Deadeye Dick story is proceeding apace.
We now know that President Bush knew about the shooting of Harry Whittington within an hour of the event -- and yet the incident was not reported for another 15 hours after that.
And once again Scott McClennan is being used as a piƱata by the press (and by David Gregory of NBC in particular) because of this administration's stonewalling on the incident -- and, by extension, their contempt for the press in general.
And while I'm sure each of us wishes Mr. Whittington the best and hopes just as hard as Vice President Cheney does for a full and speedy recovery, things could get interesting if he doesn't make it.
Imagine how ironic it would be if Cheney had to accept legal responsibility for one person's death, while at the same time avoiding legal responsibility for the other 2,000-plus deaths he's responsible for?
Welcome to Chappaquiddick, Mr. Cheney.

So are you advocating that the esteemed Sen. Kennyedy ought to own up to his culpability for Mary Jo's death at Chappaquiddick? If not, why not - since you see fit to rake the vice president across the proverbial coals.
