OH MY GOD!

Now they're asking if he will offer his resignation!

These people are insane!

And now one stupid a** reporter has compared this situation to the levee breaks in New Orleans, asking if the lack of immediate knowledge by the white house is a problem that they need to address.

McClellan has already explained that this was a four person hunting trip and it didn't include the entire VP enterage (since obviously you don't want two dozen people along on a hunting trip), but the press is still hounding him on why the info trickled out slowly.

I gotta turn on some cartoons

trying to turn it into a ted kennedy car off the bridge sorta situation hey?

America loves scandal! god bless america!

lol, yeah maybe that's it JD.

I just read a news report that called the guys condition "very stable". This is very good, but I can't wait to hear that his condition improves to "extremely stable" or even "exceedingly stable". 

I agree that it's news & apparently safety for him is an issue. But asking if he is going to resign is ridiculous.

i agree with the issue of hunter's safety course.  i think it should be like a driver's licence and should be renewed every so often including a written test.  including politicians!

Oh, by the way, I do agree too that if the standard course of action in a case like this is to take a hunters safety course I think the VP should have to do that too. He shouldn't be let off the hook just because he's VP. But again, that's IF that's the standard action after this type of situation.

Even if it's not though, he could use it as a good photo-op and teaching lesson to other hunters. It would be a good PR move to just take a one day course anyway.

They were saying that on the news, that the victim had gone back to get a quail he killed and never let the rest of the hunters know he was back on the line, so Cheney thought he was clear to his left when a bird flew by.

Although they're also saying a GOOD hunter will still verbally check to make sure the person who would NORMALLY be on his left isn't back from collecting his kill before taking a shot to the side like that.

The bottom line regardless I guess is that it was an accident, but T-Girl reminded me of the details and the fact that if Cheney's gonna be going for safety training the victim is going to need to as well, because I too have heard that he was actually more at fault for being someplace he basically shouldn't be without notifying the hunting line that he was there.

Do we REALLY think John Kerry would be treated this way if this had happened to him?!?  They certainly wouldn't be asking for HIS resignation. 

OK.  I have to reply or I'll explode.  

When Mr. Cheney is sued by this fellow hunter, lies UNDER OATH, and denies that it happened UNDER OATH, THEN I too want Mr. Cheney's resignation.  Let's remember though that Cheney's "Personal Tragedy" wasn't illegal. 

Don't want to offend anyone out there, but I do bristle at the "Personal should stay personal".  It wasn't during a game of "20 questions" that President Clinton lied,  It was during his deposition of the Sexual Harassment of Paula Jones..  

Ok.  I'm off my soapbox, and I hope everyone will still consider me a friend of the forum.     

Thanks Mediator!!

That's the way I like it.  I'll try and stick to musical categories and such for the rest of the day.

PS:  Your code name fits!!

 

  the questions aren't the problem . the answers are :

  reporter - will he resign ?

  answer -  why ?  any body else got a moronic question to ask ?

  as long as the W. House spokesman keeps answering these idiotic  Q's , they'll keep asking them . its that simple.

 

 

 

Yeah, but Dave, you know if they don't answer the moronic questions they're stonewalling.

And again, this goes down both sides of the isle. I see the press asking Dems some pretty stupid questions too.

I agree though, they should just ignore the question when it's that idiotic.
