Cheneys Got a Gun...
Very funny stuff from the press gaggle today with McClellan.
- Q Let's just be clear here. The vice president of the United States accidentally shoots a man, and...
- Q When did the president know the the vice president was the shooter?
- Q But you've got like a -- you've got a situation room here. You've got people who monitor stuff. It's impossible to find out -- I mean, the vice president knew immediately, "Oh, no! I've shot somebody accidentally," and it takes 24 hours --
- Q Absolutely. But what -- why is it that it took so long for the president, for you, for anybody else to know that the vice president shot somebody?
- Q I just want to clarify one thing. Is it appropriate for a private citizen to be the person to disseminate the information that the vice president of the United States has been -- has shot someone?
