Well, that's the thing. I really fail to see how this event does either.

So far, the worst thing about Cheney's conduct seems to be either "canned hunting", which is extremely distasteful, but unfortunately quite legal, or hunting without the appropriate tax stamp, which is illegal but not particularly immoral. (It's a seven dollar stamp. Doesn't count as "tax evasion" in my book.)

If he'd shot someone outside his hunting party, I might be more interested in the question of whether or not he was intoxicated.

Cheney's job doesn't include carrying a gun or supplying American families with delicious quail. This accident doesn't really say anything about his ability to do anything else-- so I just don't see it as being anybody else's business.

Ow is the fact that a man second-in-charge of the US military, shot another man in the face, and is therefore not capable of wielding a weapon, and then tried to keep it quiet, is not in the public interest? If anything, it gives greater assertion to suggestions that the Bush administration is full of cover-ups and screts.
