Cheney's Chappaquiddick?

Imagine what the talking heads would be saying had a Democrat pulled the trigger...

The Times, meanwhile, was able to press the point a bit more fully.

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."

The vice president shoots someone seriously enough to require ICU treatment in the hospital and the White House doesn't see fit to make a public announcement? It's left to the owner of the ranch to let people know?

I wonder how many cans of courage Dick polished off before the mishap?
