Looks like Cheney is coming out of his hole long enough to tell his side of the story. Not that Cheney wanted to come out willingly, forced more likely by Rove or Katharine Armstrong or some other brave soul in his circle.
You see, Cheney hates the media (not FoxNews) and the White House reporters, it's part of his personality.
Hopefully he'll come out and confess that he, along with some others in his party had a drink or two but that that did not affect his ability to handle a firearm, no, it was just a common, ordinary plain accident and the reason for the delay in speaking publicly about it was just out of concern and respect for his friend Whittington.
But I doubt that, the truth is that Cheney has had enough time to sober up, get his story straight and immediatly proceed to his undisclosed location after the news conference. But that's just my opinion.
Cheney to discuss hunting accident
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney planned to break his silence Wednesday night in his first televised interview about the Texas hunting accident in which he shot a 78-year-old lawyer.
Cheney was to appear on Fox News Channel at 6 p.m. ET, the network and the White House announced. He hasn't spoken publicly about the accident Saturday that hospitalized Harry Whittington of Austin. (Related: Mishap shows Cheney's secret side)
Whittington was in stable condition Wednesday after suffering a mild heart attack when a shotgun pellet in his chest traveled to his heart.
Doctors said they decided to leave the pellet alone rather than operate to remove it but were watching Whittington closely. They said they are highly optimistic he will recover.
Critics of the Bush administration have called for more of an explanation from Cheney about the accident Saturday while the vice president was aiming at quail on a ranch in South Texas...
