Cheney Off Limits For Texas Sheriff's Office

Well here is one of my questions answered that I posted earlier regarding Darth Vader's accidental shooting of a fellow hunter. Was an investigation even done? CBS News is reporting: CBS News White House correspondent Peter Maer reports Texas authorities are complaining that the Secret Service barred them from speaking to Cheney after the incident. Kenedy County Texas Sheriffs Lt. Juan Guzman said deputies first learned of the shooting when an ambulance was called. But the Secret Service told a different story, saying agents had informed the local sheriff of the shooting about an hour after it happened and that the vice president had been interviewed about the accident by local authorities on Sunday morning, CBS News White House correspondent Bill Plante reports Excuse me? He was interviewed on Sunday morning? Just what the hell makes Darth Cheney different than any other citizen? You mean to tell me that if you or I shot someone (accidentally or not) on a Saturday afternoon we wouldn't have to answer to authorities until Sunday morning? I think not. This is just so damn typical of the way this administration (and the Republican Party in general) handles any suspicions justified or not pointing their way. They seem to think they are above the law and better than every other citizen of the U.S. The President thinks no one should question his authorization for domestic spying. The Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist feels an FTC investigation is unwarranted in order to find if there was any inside information involved in the sale of his stock in his family-owned business shortly before it tanked. The Former House Leader Tom DeLay thinks it is all just a political witch hunt by a partisan prosecutor to investigate him about possible illegal campaign donations and/or money laundering. Now we have the Vice President involved in a shooting accident, and there is an overnight delay caused by the Secret Service before he can be questioned about it by local authorities. All this and they still expect the public to just trust their actions an never under any circumstances question why they are treated differently when even an appearance of impropriety occurs. Un-effing believable!!! ******UPDATE****** Cheney issued a statement - exclusively to CultureGhost.
