manfully trying to deny and deflect charges that his pal Vice President Dick Cheney is an irresponsible, drunken, angry old pimp who all but killed Harry Whittington with a misplaced shotgun blast.
Alan can be credible on this subject as he is after all, a hunter.
It doesn't help the Veep's case to have Alan Simpson whistling through his Roebucks and quavering "Cheney is usually a good shot!"
Thus he implies that under ideal circumstances Whittington would be dead right now.
Yikes!
Moreover shaking his jowls and rebuking "the media" for all the jokes at the Veep's expense while a man lays injured in the ICU smacks of hypocrisy in extremis. After all, President Bush, His odious Brother Jeb and White House Spokesman Scott "Twink" McClellan all made coarse jokes about the incident at least before Whittington coded and had to be wheeled back into the ICU.
Alas and alack, Simpson's debate partner Paul Begala, an otherwise able man did not bring this point up. He should've, the White House said this was a minor accident and big nothing so everyone made with the funny.
As always we should've checked the White House's fact, they were the usual skein of lies, fabrications and evasions.
