Why Cheney Kept Mum

Many have criticized VP Cheney and the White House propaganda machine for keeping quiet about Cheney's wounding of his hunting partner, as if he were trying to cover up the incident.

I am firmly convinced that this is not the case.

You see, Cheney is personally repsponsible for the killing and maiming of more than 20,000 young Americans and upwards of 50,000 innocent Iraquis. With that record, you can easily understand that accidentally peppering a hunting partner with birdshot is a trivial event that barely merits notice!
