No, you weren't listening. There is no scandal involving the SHOOTING. That is a tragic accident in which all parties have suffered.
The "scandal" involves the handling of the event itself, the appearance of a media cover-up or intentional delay, and the allegations of media disdain. Whether this SHOULD be a scandal is a valid question. Whether this IS a scandal is not in dispute, I think. Just open any paper, watch any news channel for two minutes, or watch the late-night tv shows. I don't think even if the guy dies there will (or should be) any charges. Cheney has been cleared, it was declared an accident by the investigating authorities. It could become a civil lawsuit, but I don't see criminal charges out of this. And for the first time ever, I feel empathy for Cheney.
