We apologize in advance . . . .
. . . . to all those who will be offended by this.
Commenting on the Vice President's hunting accident, and the snarling reporters who today began gnawing at the "24-hour delay" in "reporting" it to the New York Times ("OMG! He's been shot. Quick! Call Helen Thomas!"), Jonah Goldberg notes:

Just imagine if chutzpah destabilized the space-time continuum. Then imagine Ted Kennedy taking to the floor of the Senate to denounce Cheney's accident reporting protocols. Space and time would fold in on themselves in the well of the Senate and while Ted would vanish in a fzzztt...spork! and a burst of ozone, maybe a cool pterodactyl or woolly mammoth would escape through the rip in existence and terrorize the capitol.We now return you to your regular program.

post a commentSo VP Dick Cheney supposedly "accidently" shoots a fellow hunter, who happens to be a major contributor to the Republican Party. For some reason, this story sounds to me like the RNC has inaugurated some bizarre new fundraising scheme. For $10,000, you can be shot by the Vice President. Now that will give you a lifetime of stories to tell. Perhaps for $100,000, you can be shot by the President himself. For smaller contributors, maybe Denny Hastert could rough you up a bit for $100. This seems to have a lot of possibilities, and is much more interesting than those $1,000 a plate "dinners". If Today and the NYT want something to chew on, maybe they should look into whether some circumvention of fundraising rules is going on here.
I'll bet Pat Leahy will be more careful about what he says from now on.
