Doesn't sound like a cover up to me and I really would not expect them
to call a press conference announcing the vice president screwed up,
but I got a kick out of this line from the article you linked:

"White House aides can be expected to say that the Vice President did
not shoot Whittington, which suggests a bullet, but rather sprayed him
with birdshot, a type of ammunition made up of tiny pieces of lead or
steel,"

Whoever came up with this needs to work in marketing, not political
spin.

Cover up or not, yet another exercise in preternatural stupidity. When Dick
Cheney shoots somebody and the news breaks more than a day later.....and
then only because someone else found out about it and announced it.....how
can the thought of cover up NOT occur?

It does sort of help one to understand better the rationale for the current
campaign in Iraq. Turns out that we've just been spraying the
place.......pest control. Who can object to that?

IMHO, a large part of the reason for the 'shift to the right' in recent
years is because that side has better admen, selling an inferior product.
I don't think it's possible to overstate just how gullible our TV raised
culture is to well crafted advertising.

To that we can add the fact that the 'conservative thought' is much easier
to present in sound bite fashion. Not that it's better thought, just
easier to put into a few, oft repeated, words.

A conservative can find his "there is one right way, in all situations, at
all times, no more thought needed" answer on a given topic, refine it to the
minimum words and Bush-like recite his manta, each and every time that topic
comes up. A liberal is forced, by his beliefs, to actually consider other
points of view and the idea that different solutions need to be applied to
different problems. When he tries to explain that far more thoughtful
position it comes off as 'wishy washy' to a public trained to decide by what
they are told to decide by how many times they've seen the exact same ad,
over and over, telling them what to think.

Oh man that is too much. I bet the right wing goons are going to lose
it because of this one. After all the crap they gave Kerry for going
hunting......Cheney goes out and shoots his hunting partner!

Maybe they can send him through a hunter safety course, and make him an NRA
hunting safety poster child.

I think it would be an absolute hoot if he was found not to be licensed.
