Leave the poor man alone!

Last night I was on the treadmill for about half an hour, and the "Cheney shoots hunter" story was on CNN for most of that time.

For crying out loud, leave Cheney alone! Yeah, it was a horrible thing that happened, but it was an accident. It's not because he's inherently stupid, or because he was trying to kill someone. And if you accidentally shot one of your friends, would you appreciate gloating media attention? Um, no.

Lay off, already!

It's funny. It's the kind of thing people who don't agree with him politically are going to use as the topper to beat all toppers: "And to top it all off, he SHOT a guy!"

Ah, politics in our day and age. (Though it occurs to me that this is the kind of thing that I can see happening in like Lincoln's day and age as well. The hunting and whatnot.)
