Poor Dick Cheney...

The guy can't catch a break. Despite his decades of sterling service to America, he's been a persistent target of the leftists and whack-jobbers like the LaRouchies. And now a simple hunting accident--the product of carelessness to be sure but not unusual among bird hunters--has got the loony left all in a tizzy. Aside from all of the Cheney hunting jokes now making the rounds (and some are pretty funny...) some of the nutbar left are now screaming about a "conspiracy" to keep this information from the public and yelling about how he has a duty to disclose it.

Why does he? IFrankly it occurred outside of his job as Vice President, and after all, the left has been telling us since the Clinton years that what a politician does in his private life is nobody's business. But I guess that only applies to molesting subordinate employees that are your daughter's age...

And lest we forget, when Hillary Clinton's SUV injured a police officer back in 2001, nobody cared and the media ignored it. Read about that here.

So I guess it's only newsworthy when a Republican is involved in something bad. Typical.

And as Rush Limbaugh said today: "I'd still rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than ride across a bridge with Ted Kennedy. At least Cheney will take you to the hospital."
