Who shot who or why did it happened is totally irrelevant. Cheney shot his friend who later suffered a mild heart attack because a pellet got into the heart. Again, irrelevant here.
The problem is that Cheney could not even come clean - be up front and honest. That still would not be a problem if this White House had not been caught lying so many times previously. So many disasters that the White House mishandled. So many times that a White House response is stonewall silence or outright deception.
A simple response would have been 'total apologies to a shot lawyer and a whole hearted admission that I made a mistake'. That is what an honest man would do. And that is the only reason for this controversy.
We are really asking whether Cheney is an honest man - or one whose modem-operandi is to lie or deceive whenever possible. What could have been nothing more than a simple hunting accident has proven to be just as deceitful as Kennedy at Chappaquiddick. But then we are talking about politicians whose purpose in life is to lie – because that is what we want them to do. We want them to be politically correct – only appear to be honest. The controversy is that Cheney does not even appear to be honest – and is so arrogent as to not care what we think. A 'screw America again' attitude because 'I am Dick Cheney and don't care what Americans think'. That attitude is why he deserves to replace Mohammed.
Where are bad Danish comics when we need them.
