If I were a Cheney advisor, I would tell him — er — ask him to go on one of the Sunday shows. The interest in the shooting would soak up much of the interview time and since he has to talk about it anyway, this would make him seem responsive and open without having to spend a lot of time on the tougher and more politically unpleasant issues like war, Katrina etc. Unless we hear something new, or if Cheney shoots himself in the foot (heh), this story remains all human interest and no politics.
