well of course you two agree.

yes, it's usually helpful that partners agree on some issues.

starjeanne we do not always agree completely.

I assure you she is her own person and she makes up her own mind.

Here we just think it is silly to suggest the VP has to report every time he has a bowel movement to the press.

Let me get this straight Clinton, bill lies to America and the press ok, Hillary (as First Lady civilian) has a secret meeting with health care companies and does not notify the press OK

but Cheney has a hunting accident and he has what 2-3 6 hours to notify the media gods.

Give me a break what a load

what about , God forbid, the guy dies. Is he guilty of manslaughter. I have heard of people who run someone over, not on purpose and accident, going to jail for that.

"Apparently the reason they didn't release the information right away is they said we had to get the facts right. That's never stopped them in the past."

comparing a bowel movement to shooting a fellow hunter in the face, neck and torso is a bit over the top. at least he finally pulled his head outta the sand and commented on the situation today. better late than never

Exactly! it's only one vowel different, but it makes a huge difference in meaning he shot not shit someone.

there's just no pleasing the dems....

you're all still avoiding the question... WHY should the media get 1st notification???

Playing on my same metaphor

I do not give a crap

there are much bigger issues of substance

I do not think the media should get first notification. I think he should be more careful

yes Cheney might benefit from a mandatory gun safety course.

i never suggested that the media get 1st notification, they obviously didn't get any notification for about a day.

storm, doesn't that seem a bit odd to you?

storm · Post by **storm** » 16-02-06, 1:22 pm

I think I have made this clear already.

But fine let me play ago a little.

So Pawn would would be an acceptable time to report to the media timeline----6 hours, 18 hours, 24 hours..

No it does not seem odd to me because I do not see the media as the 4th branch of government.

The media is protected by the Constitution not created as a branch of government.

and he notified the police within the hour, THAT is what he is required to do. he is not required nor should he be expected to notify any other agency.

Jean Pool · Post by **Jean Pool** » 17-02-06, 2:36 am

call 911 and pray that his victim lives.

as a public figure, he should understand that a situation like this would snowball. im not saying its right, just is.

why not cut out the cancer before it spreads?

waiting just got this mishap more attention, the correct response would have been to address the crisis directly as near to the occurence as possible.

i could be wrong, i frequently am.
