Secret Service Barred Texas Authorities From Talking To Cheney
I guess some pigs are more equal than others:
CBS News White House correspondent Peter Maer reports Texas authorities are complaining that the Secret Service barred them from speaking to Cheney after the incident. Kenedy County Texas Sheriffs Lt. Juan Guzman said deputies first learned of the shooting when an ambulance was called.Is this what they had in mind when they were banging on about "restoring honor to the office of the president?"
The Secret Service is looking into how the case was handled at the scene, Maer added.
Cheney was attending routine briefings Monday at the White House.
"It's clearly an accident, but the fact that the White House didn't release this information, that it sat around for almost a day is, in itself, bizarre," Time magazine's Matt Cooper told CBS News' The Early Show. "Late-night comics are going to be all over it. You know, these things — fairly or unfairly — tend to become a metaphor for a presidency and don't be surprised if you see lots of jokes about the vice president was trigger happy, or he might have had better aim if he'd served in Vietnam."
I think the Culture Ghost says it nicely (hat tip Fixer). And Vance lets you go quail hunting with DUI Dick.
