You guys/gals noticed how pissed off the crew of White House coorespondants have been over this whole thing, because THEY weren't informed first and that a small, local rag broke the story?
GET OVER IT!!!
I'm no fan of Dick, but i'm sure his first thought when he shot a friend in the face wasn't "better get the white house press corp on the horn! quick, send a telegram*!". He probably wanted to get his friend to a hospital.
This administration hasn't been the most forthcoming with ANY information...but Jebus H. Christ, pick your battles, press corp. The one time Dick probably did the right thing and you are all over him for it.
God, I sound like Tucker Carlson. Shoot me now.
* Well,
not any more
