WHY did it take 24 HOURS for us to find out Cheney gunned down a hunter?

hmmmm...
what will BFEE do when it's time to keep something REALLY important out of the news?
close down newspapers? Seize the internets?
commandeer broadcast networks & stations?

1. National Security.....blah blah blah

2. The REAL shocker is that Cheney's been dead for 3 years! They're

just waiting for the right moment to spring that one on ya!

8. Cheney Has Been Undead For a Least 3 Centuries

If he is found guilty of the Espionage Act, he may be subject to the death penalty under the law.
This may pose a bit of a problem for them.

They would probably need something like this:

3. Let's see how vigilant the media is at finding out the delay of info

4. Because it's the lie'brul media!!

Oh...wait. :blush:

5. Maybe no authorities were told who shot the guy until.....

today. Bet we couldn't get away with that, could we.

6. They had to wait for the Sabbath Gasbag programs to air first

Dropping this little tidbit of news on a Sunday afternoon, hoping fewer will notice.

Comedy writers must be rejoicing right now. This will be on Leno and Letterman et cetera for months.

7. They wanted to make sure he had sobered up

9. The victim is in trauma/ICU

CNN just interviewed the hospital spokesman and gave NOTHING else.

I'll bet you this is worse than they are making it. I'll bet you the reason we didn't find out sooner is because they didn't want the news to get out while the guy was in surgery.

CNN's Dana Bash just said he was about 30 yards away and immediately fell to the ground.

They are also making it the victim's fault, claiming he "didn't announce."

He was shot in the head and chest.

Get this: CNN is comparing the shot to "BB's" making sure to say it isn't "bullets".

10. Typical gun owner

It took 24 hours, because those people never own-up to their actions. This just shows that even the most "respectable" gun owners will still go crazy and start shooting at people.
