Eugene Robinson WaPo:
It was radio host Tom Joyner who came up with Cheney's Valentine's Day poem:
Roses are red, Violets are blue, Say something I don't like, And I'll shoot you, too.
John Stewart, LA Times:
"Now, this story certainly has its humorous aspects," Stewart added. "And it's easy to make fun of an incident like this. Very easy. But it also raises a serious issue, one which I feel very strongly about…. Moms, dads, if you're watching right now, I can't emphasize enough: Do not let your kids go on hunting trips with the vice president. I don't care what kind of lucrative contracts they're trying to land or energy regulations they're trying to get lifted. It's just not worth it."
