Cheney Shoots...He...oh no.....

So, Vice President Dick Cheney shot someone while hunting. Okay, it's a big, legitimate and since the guy is going to be fine, funny story. It's not the end of the world like the press is trying to make it out to be.

That said, it seems one element is missing to the coverage...what is the VP doing in proximity to guys with guns? I know they are all 'old, dear friends' who wouldn't hurt the VP but as this shows, accidents happen. Do we really want the VP to be in that position? I know people in positions need relaxation and to enjoy their hobbies but there's also an obligation to not put yourself in compromising positions.
