The announcement came after Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, and California Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the top-ranking Democrat in the House, emerged from a White House breakfast meeting with President Bush and Cheney to say the vice president needed to come forward.

"I guess I'm kind of old-fashioned," Reid said. "He hasn't had a press conference in three and a half years."

Reid criticizes vice president for not disclosing accidental shooting sooner

Feb. 15th, 2006

WASHINGTON -- After saying Monday that Vice President Cheney did nothing wrong, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday criticized Cheney for not being more forthcoming about accidentally shooting a man during a weekend hunting trip in Texas.

"Talk about secrecy. The vice president accidentally shoots someone and keeps that a secret for nearly a day. That man (who was shot) is now very sick," Reid, D-Nev., told reporters Tuesday.

Asked why he thought Cheney had not talked about the shooting, Reid said, "I think the reason it took the vice president a day to talk about this is part of the secretive nature of this administration. The American people are not entitled to know what's going on in their mind-set. They keep things pretty close to the chest."

Reid noted Cheney has not had a news conference since 2002 and said, "It's time the American people heard from the vice president in a real meeting just like we're having here."

When will the sheeple wake up and realize what a monster this Cheney creature is? :(

7. Cheney's had press conferences--

they just didn't feature him. Cheney merely used the boy king to hold the conference, and he was the ventriloquist. Neat trick, 'huh?

;)

9. I love Reid's framing

"I'm kind of old-fashioned"

Brilliant! using their "traditional values" language, I think he's learning from Dean!

4. Cheney will have a press

conference only if troops are allowed to ask questions
