- Reporters Notebook: Vice President Cheney Plays It Close to the Vest
Dick Cheney finally is scheduled to speak publicly about his accidental shooting of a hunting companion this weekend. The Vice President's recorded interview with Fox News will air tonight. Former Republican Congressman Vin Weber, who's close to the Bush White House, says Cheney's lack of public response has made the issue "much bigger than it needed to be." The New York Times' David Sanger calls the handling of the Cheney incident a far cry from that of President Bush's cycling accident in 2002.
