Vandy,
Your close but may I add a different perspective. You say Americans marvel at the way other countries seem fixated on your politics and Gov't officials....In my case , this Canadian is marveling at the way the American media is SO fixated on private lives of Gov't officials. Chaney is getting criticized for not making this public. I can see the media interest but why should he have been obligated to make it public. He wasn't acting in an official capacity so he's under no obligation to make it public. It's between him, his friend and their lawyers. Like I said....its ok for the media to report it...just not ok to make a big deal that Chaney didn't hold a press conference to publicize it. CNN made an entire " major story " out of the fact that Chaney didn't make it public. Must be a slow news day or a political agenda. Best, Tim |

You are probably correct Timothy. It is kind of an odd that it has blown up into such a big story. Odd but not surprising.
CNN with a political agenda? Nahhhh. Magicbarry, it is true. You may dismiss what I've said, that's fine but people who bird hunt will tell you that taking grouse on the wing is certainly NOT like shooting fish in a barrel. Vandy

I remember when that Air France jet skidded off the runway in Toronto last year. CNN had live coverage and announced ( via their air travel expert) that although no facts were in..there was NO way anyone survived. He was questioned about that statement and repeated..." I'm telling you nobody could have survived that" In fact EVERYBODY survived. The part that got me was that this so called news station was speculating and calling it fact. Just think about all the people waiting at the airport to pick up friends and family and watching CNN on the airport monitors that are reporting everyone is dead! Of course CNN made no mention of this mistake. Not even a page 53 retraction. LOL Best, Tim |

So, why did he add fuel to the fire of speculation by seeming to pretend no comments were in order? And the following day the White House spokesman repeatedly says, in response to questions, that he won't comment on old news when insiders knew that heart complications were going to be in the next round of coverage?

I understand hunting for food. Its a lot less cruel then the meat industry.
But this is a bunch of bluebloods wander around the in the woods taking pot shots at birds they don't intend to eat and that they couldn't eat because of the guns they use. One of them is too inept to stand in a straight line so he doesn;t get shot at and the other is too blind to spot the difference between a bird and a lawyer! |

The scariest (and funniest) thing about this whole incident is weeks ago (maybe 2 or 3), my US History class learned about a duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. My teacher jokingly said to us, "This is like if Vice President Dick Cheney went out and shot someone." Another scary thing is at the end of the year, my teacher (with her goofy antics) predicts what we will be when we grow up. I now know to believe what she says. Hopefully, she'll say, "David Copperfield will be no match against you later in life."
