Michelle Malkin on Cheney's Hunting Accident

Malkin is in a typically serious mood here:
I'm very thankful Whittington is doing fine. Unfortunately, this is very bad news for the White House--and not just because of the inevitable late-night jokes that will inundate the airwaves over the next week. The Dems will exploit this accident to smear Cheney as incapable of being trusted, weak of mind, etc. The resignation rumors will fly again. And the biography of a man who has served this country so well and so honorably for so many years will be overshadowed by a single, ill-fated hunting mishap.
I grew up in a state where every pickup truck has two shotguns in the back. (If this seems like an odd statement coming from a Chassidic Jew, that is perhaps the subject for another post.) Anyway, Malkin's concern is laudable, but this doesn't sound like such a big deal to me. Maybe Cheney could buy the guy a new orange vest.
