Cheney Accidentally Shoots Hunting Buddy; Media Miffed

So, Dick Cheney accidentally shoots his friend while quail-hunting, and because he doesn’t immediately notify the media, the media is attempting to rip him to shreds. Well, guess what? If I accidentally shot my friend, I would not be all giddy to talk to the media either.

Anyway, when I heard the story, I don’t know what people found so funny about a guy being shot in the face. I don’t find hunting accidents particularly humorous, even if they involve famous persons in politics. Then again, America’s Funniest Home Videos is still on the air. Maybe next time, Scott McClellan can accidentally kick a reporter in the balls. Or fall off a trampoline. Now that, that might be news worthy.
