1. I've read many newspaper columns, blog posts, and news reports about Vice President Dick Cheney's quail-hunting accident. Those who dislike the vice president tend to say such things as "Cheney shot a man." Those who like him—or are indifferent to him—tend to say such things as "Cheney accidentally shot his hunting companion." Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but the former seems calculated to make Cheney seem evil, as if he shot with malice aforethought.
2. One reason the press despises Dick Cheney is that he despises them—and they know it. What's the old saying about not angering those who buy ink by the barrel? It applies here. But Cheney doesn't give a damn what the press thinks of him or says about him. I admire that. Any enemy of the press is a friend of mine.
3. Have you seen the footage of NBC correspondent David Gregory abusing White House spokesman Scott McClellan? Gregory is a punk. I've thought this for many years. There's something creepy and National Enquirerish about him. He thinks he's a star, and he invariably inserts himself into the story. See here.
4. Here is video of Michelle Malkin discussing the Cheney incident.
