White House reporters weren't happy about being scooped by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times on The-Second-Vice President-to-Shoot-a Man-While-In-Office story.  They seemed extra irate when Cheney finally gave his deposition to Brit Hume last night.

CNN, commentator Jack Cafferty called the interview "a little bit like Bonnie interviewing Clyde…".  Libby Averyt, Caller-Times editor and vice president, for her part, said, "It's not like we are some amateur paper _ we are a daily newspaper".

The 12 hour delay before White House spokesman Scott McClellan learned of the shooting was an opening for speculation.  NBC 's David Gregory got into a verbal brawl with McClellan but no shots were fired.

Dragon Fly Eye. Net Blog titled its entry, "I'm Okay, You've Been Shot".  Vice President Cheney's hunting buddy, Harry Whittington, hopes to be okay soon.
