Yeah, there goes his run for President.



Doesn't matter. I don't think he ever had a clear shot at it.

You guys are pretty naive about what "politics" means. It's not just
about running for office. Cheney has another 2 1/2 years as VP, and
since he's the one who really runs things in the "Bush" administration
that's a big deal.

When these guys came to power the story they tied to spin (successfully)
was that they were more competent than the previous administration. Even
though we've seen time and again that they're actually appallingly
incompetent (the Iraq debacle, the Katrina ****up, the Social Security
and Medicare messes, etc., etc.), this hunting accident highlights
Cheney's incompetence in a particularly stark way.
