Frankly, I am not going to say more on this subject than the following. I think that Conservatives do themselves much better to ignore the left when they make fools of themselves like this than to give this nonsense the dignity of refutation.

The Powerline blog group says:

Elements of the MSM, led by the ridiculous David Gregory of NBC, are working themselves into a fever pitch over the hunting accident in which Vice President Cheney wounded a fellow hunter.
