Sure, the comedy writers and the broadsheets are having a blast (pun intended) with this one. "It's Dick! Duck!", etc. etc. Particularly since Cheney is such a serious, stolid and gruff figure normally.

But I just watched NBC Nightly News throw an extraordinary hissy fit over the 24 hour delay in getting the story out to press. Apparently, they have been mortally offended by the fact that the ranch owner gave the scoop to a local Corpus Christi journalist, instead of an NBC anchor. Literally, they led the news with the story and carried on for about 10 minutes.

You'd have thought the delay cost billions or wrecked America's chances in the Olympics, or something.
