The "Story"

Vice President Cheney made his first and final appearance on the issue of the shooting of his hunting buddy and takes full responsibility. FULL?

First I must make a rare, (maybe twice before) and I can't even recall the details, but in the form of an explaination that I alluded to a dispute on the time, it could be the time zone thing that explains the one hour.

Not that I could not use more vetting, but shouldn't the adminstration be under more scrutiny as well. It is our duty and one the press or media often forgets or even bashes it's self for. More on the Brit Hume job later, but apparently the president is satisfied. He took responsibility but his choice of words needs to be examined and counted upon. The word "you" appeared a few times, so "we" must take some of the blame?

Still Ticking

and still blowing "the bubble" or the press off. The story apparently is still in need of work.

Note that the timeline is disputed between a timeline where MSNBC has a 6:30 shooting versus the 5:30* in the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department report. And note that still hospital officials "were not concerned about the six to 200 other pieces of birdshot that might still be lodged in Whittington's body".

It just seems that more has been reported about what has been reported than what really is in any report yet. Maybe we will finally get a story, but not that the press (or Brit Hume) will yet do a job that is not just pressing.
