I mean... As if this administration wasn't already having enough trouble with popularity ratings.
What blows me away is that they just don't seem to understand the need for a little more transparency with the press. Granted, it's a complicated situation, but waiting a full day and then leaking the story to a local Texas paper is just asking for it.
Here's Cheney's interview with Fox News. Interesting read...
Question: Well, what -- you must have recognized, though, with all your experience in Washington, that this was going to be a big story.Cheney: Well, true, it was unprecedented. I've been in the business for a long time and never seen a situation quite like this. We've had experiences where the president has been shot; we've never had a situation where the vice president shot somebody.
Question: Not since Aaron Burr.
Cheney: Not since Aaron Burr --
Question: Different circumstances.
Cheney: Different circumstances.
...and a little bit funny.
