Not even this will satisfy the anti-Bush crowd.

Interview Of The Vice President By Brit Hume, FOX News

In communications study after study, when one takes "full responsibility" for an incident, with no equivocation, shifting of blame, etc., the media normally backs off.

This is a pretty angry mob, though, that is gathering. Whatever traditional crisis communications techniques that could be deployed in this instance, may not work here.

Let's look at the facts here, though. While it is certainly a terrible hunting accident, it wasn't a car accident off a bridge in which one of the occupants of the vehicle is alive for a time in an air pocket only to slowly die due to the negligence of the driver. The driver of that vehicle is now a United States Senator and has yet to answer for that crime.

Indeed, Senator Kennedy can yuck it up in committee hearings, mocking the VPOTUS for this tragedy, all the while, Mary Jo Koepechne's family waits for justice after decades of injustice.

The VPOTUS didn't leave the gentleman to bleed to death in the woods. Indeed, if this hunting accident had happened with anyone else but the VPOTUS, chances are good that a cardiologist and a full medical team, including an ambulance, wouldn't have been on site to provide instantaneous life-saving medical procedures.

There can be no doubt that Mr. Cheney is entirely sincere in his heartfelt grief over this incident and unlike others who have yet to face the music, Mr. Cheney has answered the questions for all to view. Now let's get on with the nation's business, shall we?

One more item. Until Senator Kennedy has a one on one interview with Brit Hume about Mary Jo, as far as I'm concerned, he has nothing of value to contribute to this or any other debate.

What are you afraid of Ted? Truth?
