over. The media should be obsessed with this just like Dean's scream (more) so post the funnies everywhere!

1. I made that analogy as well
I made this point on another thread that that was discussing the relevancy-as a topic worthy of discussion- of the Cheney shooting.

I remember seeing the "Dean Scream" on cable, that first night, and wondered what the big deal was. After a solid week of endless media play, and ridicule from wingnut blogs and pundits, even my friends(progressives) were saying it was bad. I couldn't believe it.

I asked them what was so bad about it and they said that he was no longer a viable candidate because he couldn't contain himself and no one who is the object of ridicule was fit for leadership. I pointed out Bushs' stupidity and ignorant remarks and they couldn't explain it.

I attributed it all to relentless media coverage.

Cheney's mistake is far worse. First, he injured another person with reckless actions, didn't have a hunting stamp(in violation of the law), didn't report it and is the Vice President of the U.S.A.

I say keep ridiculing the guy.

3. Well they have been, at least for now
Actually, I've been surprised with how the media has grabbed onto this.

My cynical side would have assumed that they would be afraid to be undeferential about it.
