"Heck of a job, Cheney!"

Well, those aren't Bush's exact words about Dick Cheney's hunting accident, but it seems to mean the same thing. Here's President Bush's precise quote from the Associated Press
"I thought the vice president handled the issue just fine," the president said in his first public comments on Saturday's accident. "I thought his explanation yesterday was a powerful explanation."
It took 10 days from the time President Bush praised Michael Brown until he accepted the FEMA director's resignation. Let's see how long Dick Cheney can hold on--in a nation of hunters and NRA members who know something about hunting accidents and how ordinary people handle them.
