OK, folks, you've had your fun…

…but hunting accidents happen. Not so much with experienced hunters on organized hunts, maybe, but they happen.

Dick Cheney is a man who will compromise the national security of the United States of America for narrow personal and political advantage. On the heels of news about Scooter Libby's grand jury testimony and bi-partisan calls for an investigation into the flagrant abuse of intelligence information for political ends, a hunting accident is among the least of Cheney's sins and has consumed damn near enough of our attention.

Far be it from me to suggest a deliberate distraction, but there's a machine at the man's disposal devoted to exploiting the trivial to obscure the essential. We don't have to play.

There's a better story about Dick Cheney out there.

Focus.
