Dick won't sacrifice one minute of his vacation. Even when he shoots a guy and sends him to the ICU.
During Katrina, Cheney stayed on vacation even after George had been shamed back to DC. George returned to work on Thursday, ending his vacation two days early. Dick didn't return early. He finished his vacation.
Last weekend he continued to participate in all the house-party weekend activities, even after he shot a man and sent him to the ICU. He attended a Sunday luncheon party with guests from the neighboring ranch. Then he stopped by to visit the man he shot - on his way to the airport late Sunday. What a guy.
Armstrong contacted the Corpus Christi Caller-Times around 9 a.m. Central time on Sunday. Asked why the information was not disseminated on Saturday night, immediately after the accident, Armstrong said: "The last thing that was on our mind was the media. We were thinking about Harry."

The manager of a ranch in neighboring Brooks County attended a quail lunch at the Armstrong Ranch headquarters midday Sunday with Cheney. Lavoyger Durham, manager of El Tule Ranch, said the luncheon talk was of "North Korea, India, China, Taiwan."There was no discussion about the accident the night before, he said, but it became known at the luncheon that Cheney asked to have the morning hunt canceled. "He didn't want to shoot," Durham said.
