As if everyone else hasn't already jumped in about Saturday's, er, "shooting incident" (Read what the late night talk show comedians said on Monday night):
When I first starting reading about this yesterday, I started laughing. It is like a free gift! I couldn't wait to turn on The Daily Show tonight, but it didn't take long for the jokes to start. Especially after the details started to emerge.
No wonder they kept it from the press as long as possible. He was hunting at what amounts to a dude hunting ranch, run by Republican supporters, it was unpublicized, and Cheney made a bunch of bonehead mistakes? Embarrassing!
Now, of course, the discussion has gone beyond what an idiotic mistake it was, and how Cheney isn't the hunter he claims to be, to how long the incident was kept secret. Given that he was hunting without a proper license in Texas, and that he was wearing headphones, almost puts him in the category of Britney Spears driving with her 4-month-old baby in her lap.
Chances are, Britney won't make that mistake again. But here's betting that the vice president will be back hunting again as soon as his schedule allows.
