Cheney: F is for Failure

Cheney's hunting accident has roiled up a storm of bad poetry, and even worse, a flurry of Elmer Fudd photoshops. The satire misses a deeper point. Namely: How would a real leader have acted in this situation?

It really is rather simple:
A real leader would have made lemonade.

In other words:

A real leader would have expressed remorse as soon as possible.

A real leader would have said, "Given my long joy of hunting, and given that I have now participated in a grievous hunting error, I am going to dedicate time, money, and my office to help develop tools for greater hunter safety."

Cheney did none of these.

He gets an F for failure.
And America... an F for letting this fuck-up off the hook.
