You can say that again...they continue to blame the victim...even Cheney has given that up: Perhaps the greatest benefit to Cheney is that he – wisely, in the view of all analysts – dropped the line being peddled by his supporters that somehow the victim was to blame because he didn't announce his presence when approaching the shotgun-toting Cheney. Former Cheney aide Mary Matalin was the first to test that strategy Sunday when she told reporters that the vice president “didn't do anything he wasn't supposed to do.” Other than shoot his friend, of course. Interviewer Brit Hume gave Cheney an opening to parrot that line. But the vice president was ready to take responsibility, telling Hume: “You can't blame anybody else. I'm the guy who pulled the trigger and shot my friend.” signonsandiego.com
