When there's nothing to cover up...

Can there be a cover up?

Some people are obsessing over it. Some are just making a bigger deal than it deserves.

Today ran a piece on it first thing out of the gate this morning titled, and I kid you not, "The Smoking Gun." It actually was a fine piece; ominously titled, full of veiled references to potential wrong-doing...making it all sound worthy, almost, of it's own moniker--Quailgate; Shotgun-gate; Fill-in-the-blank-gate. Only problem really, is there's no story to it.

It was a hunting accident. They happen. No one was killed so there's no crime (though it did take a serious turn today when it was learned that Mr. Whittington did suffer a minor heart attack related to the shooting). Aside from the one that the WH press corps is screaming about, namely that the scoop went to the Corpus Christi Caller-Times rather than the estimable David Gregory.

Yet the AP ran a story today that implies there are "unanswered questions" about the incident. Yes, as one buffoon has put it, "He's above the law!"

It's inane. It's insane...it's a double-whammy: inane and insane!

Meanwhile, the Kennedy County Sheriff's office issued a press release revealing the results of their initial investigation. No alcohol, no misconduct (though later it was revealed that Mr. Cheney had not paid the $7 license-fee), no story.

So again I ask you, if there's nothing to cover up...
