This is Cheney's Chappaquiddick

Apparently a lot of the delay in notifying the Press about the Saturday Cheney shooting was spent trying to explain why Cheney was hunting with a woman who is not his wife. Also, the physician (Braddock) who first gave out the very positive story about how mild Harry Whittington's injuries were is "Dr. David Blanchard" who is listed as Vice Chairperson of World Hope International, a Christian evangelical aid group. Evangelicals strongly support both Bush and Cheney, and it is not a surprise that an evangelical physician should downplay the seriousness of Whittington's injuries. This is all from R. J. Eskow writing at the Huffington Post.

This is not a one-day story now. It really does begin to resemble Chappaquiddick.
