As a follow-up to the VP-Shoots-78-year-old-Man story:
Apparently, there was an 18-hour delay in the story being reported….and some other oddness as well.
This one certainly has some interested results on the “Clinton Test”, now doesn’t it?
(For those readers unaware– The Clinton Test: Imagine if the same story was being reported last decade, featuring members of the Clinton administration….and realize the shitstorm of controversy and scandal that would have been a central feature of the news cycle from that point forward. Congressional Republicans calling for Special Investigations, Right-wing talk radio and cable commentators making public accusations of criminal activity, etc.)
I’m amazed when I ask conservatives I know about a situation in light of the Clinton Test; invariably, the answer is “that’d be different.”
Bruce Baugh linked to a great post today that intersects interestingly (i feel) with the Clinton Test:

Yeah, the Greenwalt post that he links to is great.
Well, if Gore shot somebody, I’m pretty sure he’d have killed ’em. He is, after all, a 10th level vice-president. I imagine that comes with a decent BAB.
