They don't, but in political/public life, it's usually the cover-up
that gets you in trouble, not the "crime." Full disclosure is just
smart politics and public relations. If you're evasive, people assume
you're hiding something.

As Ted Nugent would say, "There are no accidental discharges, only
negligent discharges."

This is a guy who has been the living shit out of the city of Austin
over condemnation of an alley. The city keeps owing him more and more
money. It may be my tax money, but I'm still cheering for him.

Nothing that involves the USA VP is private.

Expected.

Regardless, I'd still rather go hunting with Cheney, than go for a car ride
with Kennedy.

Seems that his gun control was pretty damn good... Supposedly he hit him
with a hundred pellets... The problem was his choice of round... Should have
used buck shot...

Depends on what you mean by "was."

My point was that the press was pissed about the white house not
informing them. There is no legal reason to let the press know. If they
did the correct things (informing the police, etc.) then that's all they
need to do. As for the press and their sensibilities, screw 'em.

Just cause they are the press doesn't mean that they have the right to
be told everything.
