If I have to scan through one more article on the Cheney accident, I'm going to growl and maybe bite something


Why is this a major story?

Enough with the feeding frenzy already. This was an accident. So what if the White House didn't have a press conference three minutes and twenty-two seconds after it happened? Thomas Sowell nails it.

The media want to know when was President Bush informed about this incident? What did the White House press secretary know and when did he know it?

The people who mattered -- doctors and local law enforcement -- were informed immediately about the hunting accident. What was President Bush supposed to do -- other than provide the media with something to print or broadcast?

The media are so full of themselves -- among other things that they are full of -- that they act as if the government exists to provide them with something to publicize. The time is long overdue to put these people in their place. Where is Margaret Tutwiler when we need her?

The New York Times informs us solemnly that, if Mr. Whittington dies, there will be a grand jury investigation.

If Mr. Whittington is so uncooperative as not to die, there will be much disappointment and frustration in Beltway media circles.

This stopped being a story two days ago. Find another topic.
