Cheney too secretive for GOP

Now that's saying something.

Prominent GOPers are getting really worried that the lack of any public response from Dick Cheney is going to become a political liability for them. Quotes from the VandeHei article in the WaPo...

I cannot believe he does not look back and say this should have been handled differently. - Vin Weber, former R-MN congressman

[Cheney] ignored his responsibility to the American people. - Marlin Fitzwater, former WH flack under Reagan

VandeHei did manage to soft-peddle Whittington's heart attack...

Whittington suffered an irregular heartbeat yesterday after a shotgun pellet in his chest traveled to his heart, according to hospital officials in Corpus Christi.

I seem to remember that the media reported Elvis dying of an "irregular heartbeat" back when it was reported. (Yeah, I know, I was only 8 years old at the time, but that's what I remember John Chancellor telling everyone.) Point being that the media's attempts to make Whittington's condition less serious than it really is are just not credible.
