After news came out this weekend about the hunting accident involving Vice President Dick Cheney, the MSM and lefty blogs have been going nuts over the fact that the news wasn’t reported for 18 hours after the fact. With tin foil hats firmly in place, the wackos are adding all the ingredients in hopes of creating a full-on scandal. The goal?

Take out Dick Cheney.

The more than 18-hour delay in news emerging that the Vice President of the United States had shot a man, sending him to an intensive care unit with his wounds, grew even more curious late Sunday. E&P has learned that the official confirmation of the shooting came about only after a local reporter in Corpus Christi, Texas, received a tip from the owner of the property where the shooting occurred and called Vice President Cheney’s office for confirmation.

The confirmation was made but it is not known for certain that Cheney’s office, the White House, or anyone else intended to announce the shooting if the reporter, Jaime Powell of the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, had not received word from the ranch owner.

Here is the question the left will cling on to and not let go of this week:

“How is it that Vice President Cheney can shoot a man, albeit accidentally, on Saturday during a hunting trip and the American public not be informed of it until today?”

Democrat talking points have been built, printed out, and distributed. Watch for the left to infiltrate the cable news television shows.

In the end though, it will amount to nothing, and the left will be left with another illegitimate controversy of their own making which doesn’t resonate with the American public.

What a waste of time.
