The furor seems to be less about the shooting itself, and more about the
White House's seeming lack of forthrightness about it.  The television
news people in particular are awfully worked up about it, far more than
over other alleged coverups of alleged wrongdoing by the Bush folk
(torture, Gitmo, Katrina, WMD, and so forth).

This, too:  Some here have said that the VP and his crew waited 24 hours
before calling police.  That seems not to be true.  AP sez that they
waited an hour, and made arrangements for the cops to come interview
Cheney the next morning.  When a deputy showed up at the ranch that
evening (just a few hours after the shooting), the Secret Service gave
him the boot.  Gotta give the Veep time to sober up, I guess.
