Veep shoots a friend accidentally. President should be notified. And the public should get the truth of the accident reasonably quickly and in a reasonable manner. Those were the only points I wanted to make yesterday.
As always, people run to the red corner or the blue corner. Those who hate the president find ways to have this fit their desires. And those who protect and defend the president find ways to excuse anything that might have been done wrong or poorly.
Now Harry Whittington has had a heart attack due to the birdshot that 'migrated to his heart.'
To all those who said yesterday 'it was no big deal'...what about now?
Prediction: Dick Cheney will not be the Vice President six months from now. Better practice saying 'Vice President Rice.'
*** UPDATE: VP spoke with Brit Hume of Fox News (transcript).
