Cheney shot a 78-year-old man in the face in Texas Saturday; it was over 18 hours before anyone in the media knew about it. Editor & Publisher has the scoop on how this happened; but not why. These clowns tried to cover up a serious tragedy and it’s not going to hold.
E&P has learned that the official confirmation of the shooting came about only after a local reporter in Corpus Christi, Texas, received a tip from the owner of the property where the shooting occured and called Vice President Cheney’s office for confirmation.
The confirmation was made but there was no indication whether the Vice President’s office, the White House, or anyone else intended to announce the shooting if the reporter, Jaime Powell of the Corpus Christ Caller-Times, had not received word from the ranch owner.
But in the ever-gullible New York Times:
Asked why the vice president’s office had made no announcement about the accident, Ms. McBride said, “We deferred to the Armstrongs regarding what had taken place at their ranch.”
UPDATE: Maybe firing randomly is normal for a guy who likes to shoot 70 farm-raised birds in one day.
