Cheney in a Barrel

Yesterday there was official story of how vice-president Deadeye Dickhead Cheney shot a fellow hunter. Today the wire services, newspapers and TV reporters are swarming over questions about the story, about why it took until Sunday for a shooting that happened on Saturday to be reported (even to Bush), and just how much Cheney was at fault.

But as usual the fun is at the blogs. If you're one-stop shopping, the place to go is firedoglake. Besides detailed posts on why Cheney's account stinks, there's speculation on this incident as the occasion for a Big Goodbye.

But the other biggies have been at this from various angles for the past 24 as well. My favorite so far is from the Booman Trib: Booman quotes Howard Dean from a Sunday talk show, on the Valere Plame Game:

"President promised two years ago that he would fire the leaker. He hasn't kept his promise. Karl Rove is not only still working in the White House, but he has security clearance. Now it turns out that the vice-president of the United States may have been responsible for those leaks for political reasons. That is the kind of thing that has not been done to my knowledge since Aaron Burr was vice president." Howard Dean- Face the Nation, February 12th, 2006

Booman then adds: Aaron Burr is also the last Vice-President to shoot anyone.
