What sickens me about this whole thing is the MSM's belief that somehow Cheney's office was required to inform them..

This completely DISREGARDS the concern for the family of Mr. Whittington.

Suppose one of us is out with a celebrity and they somehow injure us (maybe in a car accident). Doesn't the victim have a certain right to privacy, or at least the right to release the information as they see fit??

Certainly if they're concerned about the well-being of the victim and don't want a media circus, one would think they would like to keep it as low-key as possible.

So maybe, just maybe, Cheney was deferring to local media release in order to protect the family.

Btw, I seem to recall a little incident that Sen. Kerry got into in Sun Valley, ID while he was campaigning. Seems he was skiing down a slope and inadvertantly he ran into one of his Secret Service detail, which caused Kerry to fall.

Ths is what he had to say:

During Kerry's descent, a Secret Service agent clipped him, causing him to fall. When a reporter asked him about the incident a few moments later, Kerry replied: "I don't fall down. The son of a bitch knocked me over!"

Reporters later said that they had seen Kerry fall six times, even though Kerry was out of sight for part of the descent. Is is possible that Kerry could perform the unthinkable by causing the press corps to root for a Republican?

Shouldn't Skiing accidents be considered equal to hunting accidents?.. ;0)
