That is not what she said in her interviews. According to her, she and her mother insisted to Cheney they really needed to report it. He said if they wanted to, go ahead, but he wasn't going to be involved.
He also did not report to the President that HE had been involved. >From the current scuttlebut, it was his Secret Service attachment that reported it back to their superiors, they in turn passed it to the White House. It wasn't until Sunday that the WhiteHouse learned it was Cheney that had done the shooting. It is an important story, not at all because of what happened (it was certainly just a tragic hunting accident), but because of how the VP reacted, how he did or did not let his boss know, how the White House is going to handle this scandal (whether to get out in front of it, stonewall, lie about it) and how Cheney/Bush/The Administration feels about the media. It gives everyone (including Bush) an insight into how Cheney might handle a REAL scandal, which can't make Rove or Bush sleep any better at night.
