Were they boozing it up on the Armstrong ranch when Cheney shot the 78 year old guy? Hat tip to Thought Crimes, which we found via Atrios:
When first posted, NBC news quoted Katharine Armstrong as saying:The MSNBC web site scrubbed the quote. Why? Who is hiding what here? This sure raises more questions.
"There may be a beer or two in there," she said, "but remember not everyone in the party was shooting.".
About an hour later, the quote was deleted from the story.
The original text was captured by Google and you can see it here.
MSNBC has a history of "editing" stories. They deleted Andrea Mitchell's question asking if Christiane Amanpour had been caught up in the domestic spying sweep. Funny how those deletions always seem to benefit the Bush crowd.
Think Brit Hume will be asking Dick about this on Fox today? I know, I know, I'm kidding.
