The National Media Needs To Move On
It is interesting that when Bill Clinton, former president of the United States had sex with a young intern Monica Lewinski in the Oval Office during business hours, we were told that it was a "private" matter and none of our business, but when the vice president is involved in a hunting accident, the White House news reporters howls about their right to be notified immediately, supposedly so they could break this important news story to the American people. After all, the people have the right to know!
At some level the incident is newsworthy (on the human interest level for about 1 minute) but, it has nothing to do with the Vice President's character and should not be considered a matter of importance except for the people involved. A real newsworthy event would be for the press to ask Vice President Cheney, why, he has yet to ask Ted Kennedy to go hunting.
