While questions outpaced answers, what can be determined is that the White House appeared more interested in not letting this story get out than either Whittington's health or our right to know whether or not our vice president shot somebody. And while, in the big picture, this latest debacle clearly doesn't reach the heights of Bush-era incompetence, it does speak to this administration's standard operating procedure. A high-ranking official does something stupid, negligent and illegal. The government stifles the investigation. And the West Wing scrambles to make sure you never hear about it.
