Cheney evokes such strong emotions there are actually those in favor of the shooting.
True, it's Alec Baldwin, but here's what he had to say on The Huffington Post: "Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent
citizens here at home indiscriminately. Who ever thought Harry
Whittington would be the answer to America's prayers. Finally, someone
who might get that lying, thieving Cheney into a courtroom to answer
some direct questions."
Tucker Carlson takes the HUI (hunting while intoxicated) angle, "I think Cheney gets to do pretty much whatever he wants, which
is why he got to have a beer at lunch on a hunt. I’ve been on dozens of
hunts, there’s no beer served as lunch. You can’t drink a beer if you
shoot, period."
If the vice president had crystal meth for lunch we would have a problem. But a beer?
The Daily Kos was strictly big picture, "This shooting accident is simply a metaphor for how Cheney and the entire administration have always operated."
Liberals who opposed Justice Scalia's duck hunting trips with Cheney have reversed themselves.
I think I'll have a shot and a beer.

Why are jerks like Alec Baldwin free from the wrath of the cartoonists?
It is beginning to look like mainstream media are "conspiracy nuts".
How much more *news* can you make out of an accident?
later…
Chipbokka: It's the Daily Kos, not Koz. Did you have a beer for lunch?

I am waiting to hear from batman on this one.
This is for you deb- Tucker Carlson has obviously never been hunting with me. If the VP had a beer for lunch he has at long last gained a measure of my respect.
They should have gone for groundhogs!
