This is story is fantastic... I just can't leave it alone. ... Although I do feel for the man who was shot, the story is just fascinating. How does one suffer a "Minor" Heart Attack?
The coverage was positively inspiring....as were the late night comedy hosts. Jon Stewart's use of the video game Duck Hunt as a simulation was excellent( as was Keith Olbermann's).
The press conference was the best press conference I have ever seen. I mean never has one of these things been so entertaining..... Cheney waited 14 hours to be interviewed by Police. What was he doing during this time? Well that is the topic of today's list!
Here is an hour by hour rundown of Cheney's activities...following the shooting...

Reminds me of John Kerry's goose hunt where it was all a staged photo op complete with him walking around carrying birds that someone else had shot. Now THAT'S funny. No goose down for oil, John.
