The GOPers are cranky at Cheney



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

That's what the Washington Post is reporting:

Vice President Cheney's slow and unapologetic public response to the accidental shooting of a 78-year-old Texas lawyer is turning the quail-hunting mishap into a political liability for the Bush administration and is prompting senior White House officials to press Cheney to publicly address the issue as early as today, several prominent Republicans said yesterday.

The Republicans said Cheney should have immediately disclosed the shooting Saturday night to avoid even the suggestion of a coverup and should have offered a public apology for his role in accidentally shooting Harry Whittington, a GOP lawyer from Austin. Whittington was hospitalized Saturday night in Corpus Christi, Tex., and was moved back into the intensive-care unit after suffering an abnormal heart rhythm yesterday morning.
This is one of the first times Republicans have gone on the record bad-mouthing Cheney. They should be careful. We always knew Dick was dangerous. Now, we know he's armed and dangerous.
