Eats, shoots and leaves

In response to this article which quotes Scott McClellen of saying the following:

"The vice president spoke with Mrs. Katharine Armstrong, and they agreed that she should make that information public," McClellan said. "She was an eyewitness. She saw what occurred and she called her local paper to provide those facts."
I have written an open letter.


A letter to the White House:

When dealing with the day to day Vice Presidential indiscretions, whether it be a Haliburton "no bid" contract or a shooting of a major donor while quail hunting (Who hunts quail, by the way?), please take it from me, it is best to let it be spun from the White House. The public just doesn't get how to do a proper cover up that you are used to. When the truth is heard these days, it is somewhat unpalatable to the American Public. We would much rather hear that Mr. Whittington has ties to a terrorist organization and Mr. Cheney lured him with the promise of delicious quail to hunt (terrorists love quail!), only to shoot him on the spot in a grand display of Texas Justice (in the style of Chuck Norris).

Mr Cheney making Mrs. Armstrong your press liaison really infringed on your opportunity to spin. Sure Fox News will still have your back and before this is over, Mr. Cheney will be held as a champion for the NRA, but still this is a missed opportunity I think.

Thanks for your attention to this matter. I will now replace the wool over my eyes. There, that feels so much better.
