Hunting Accidents and other bedtime stories....

I am not a hunter. I sort of know how to shoot a gun.
BUT
One thing I do know is that gun accidents happen. I also know that there is a difference between a bullet such as someone like Dirty Harry would use and birdshot, which scatters. Wind affects both, but it isn't unusual for birdshot to fly back at the shooter if they are dumb enough to shoot into the wind. I don't think that this was a planned assault by the VP, although to listen to the media you would think he'd been plotting to off one of his best friends. While the media possibly could have been handled better, although I will tell you honestly the area where that ranch is in Kenedy (one N not two) is literally The Middle Of Nowhere. A 50,000 acre ranch is the size of a good sized city. It probably has unpaved roads, no cell sites and not many of the communication tools that we take for granted. Having Mrs. Armstrong contact the press, in the absence of press aides and other talking heads, was really making the most of a bad situation. If the VP were not the VP, nobody would think anything of this whole situation.....

BUT.....
It just so happens that through a fiat of luck, this happened right on the heels of a MAJOR league liberal meltdown. This occurred in the form of AlGore in Saudi Arabia at the behest of the binLaden family sounding for all his ranting and raving just like any imam on the street in Tehran. Really. He basically told lies about things going on, made assertions based on facts not found in reality and generally pandered to people who can give him lots and lots of MONEY and OIL to help his next run for the Presidency. Yes, Democrats, be afraid. He's going to run again. And this time not only will he manage to alienate the religious and conservative segments of the party, but the union workers and military personnel as well. For unions, he will recommend that the minimum wage be raised, which will cause corporations to move operations overseas and/or start massive layoffs. For the working class, it will mean fewer jobs and an erosion of the minimum wage through a blanket amnesty of illegal aliens. Rather than enforcing the borders, limiting immigration and demanding that employers document the status of employees, he will penalize the rest of us. I don't think it's a coincidence that the Cheney Situation is being played up in the media while the Gore story is almost non-existent on any media outlet.

Where's the outcry? Where's the slobbering media outlets demanding information?
And this is fair and balanced?????
Really?
Oh.
