Fiddle Faddle
The White House Press Corp's and the MSM infatuation with the Cheney shooting story is like Nero fiddling while Rome burned.
The virtually meaningless incident in Texas where Cheney accidentally peppered his friend with bird shot not only raised the ire of the White Press Corp but has sent the entire MSM into a feeding frenzy over the past week.
Meanwhile, a former Vice President trashes the U.S. not only on foreign soil but on foreign soil in a region of the world with which we are at war. Muslims throughout the middle-east are incited by our former Presidents and Vice Presidents and their mullahs to random violence, mostly destroying Western embassies and businesses presumably because their "feelings are hurt" over a few cartoons published in a Danish newspaper. Iran, the driving force behind the Islamic jihad against the West, is on the verge of creating a nuclear weapon that can be delivered into Tel Aviv as well as threatening Europe.
And the press wants to talk about a hunting accident? The press wants the American public to believe Dick Cheney is more of a threat than Islam - an ideology sworn to our destruction? The psychopathology of the media these days is unfathomable and would be funny if it weren't so serious. The press is fiddling while Islam ignites the West. And its likely the press will continue to fiddle. I hope we don't get burned, but its hard to be optimistic.
