Cheney Drinking While Using a Gun?

[NativeTexan]

Friends of mine from around Corpus Christi, tell me that the skinny going around down there...a very RED area of a very RED state...is that Cheney is said to have been drinking, and maybe drunk when he shot lawyer Whittington.

Obviously, verifying will be impossible, since the Secret Service was involved, but I hear ole Dickie boy, can throw 'em down.

1. How much pot did he smoke before he shot him?

[havocmom]

3. Weekend without Lynn. Two unmarried women

Drugs, sex, rock 'n roll... he's going for a new base I tell ya!

5. I agree with you and another DUer who stated

that the incident will become Cheney's Chappaquidick!

[Maine-ah]

16. that was my thought.

2. Local paper reports that host said no one was drinking.

However, we'll never know because they waited over 18 hours to tell the press.

9. Have you seen and heard "the host"...she looks just like a blonde

Katherine Harris and has that same wingnut attitude. I'll be sure to believe her story when pigs fly. And if she says PEPPERED one more time, I'm swearing off spicy foods.

12. Not to worry sweetie: of course, I don't believe a word she says! n/t

4. You know Dick had two DUII's when he was younger, right?

6. Do you think Lynn knows?

Do you think Lynn cares???

I'd love to see old crashcart get his ass
kicked across the room by that feisty little battleaxe

but I just don't think she gives a shit

7. Must be why Whittington wouldn't give a statement to the press

he was stinking drunk too.

8. One shoots quail when the bird takes off to the air

Cheney shot at a guy standing about 30 feet from him. If Cheney was aiming at quail, his gun should have been pointing towards the sky, not parallel to the ground. Cheney must have been drunk! Or they were playing stupid macho games and Cheney must have thought his gun was not loaded (that's a stretch!).

10. That's why they wouldn't let the police near the Dick

he's a drunk just like Smirk, and was plastered when he tried to kill the lawyer.

11. Now it seems clearer to me why Cheney periodically disappears

esp during times of national crises. He must be on benders then. Whatcha think?

[SONUVABUSH]

13. wow

If "Shotgun Dick" was drunk, you'll never know about it.

[Rageneau]

14. I think we should just assume he was drinking and say so again and again.

First, because he probably WAS drinking.

Second, because whether it's drinking or something else, the time problem proves that SOMETHING is being covered up.

We might as well assume the worst, since that's what the BFEE traditionally delivers.

19. He was drinking....

.....I would bet the house on it....well, if I could afford to. 5 years of Facist rule has limited my ability to use money for anything other than paying for oil company profits.

[caligirl]

15. I'll bet the ER doc and ER nurses know if Whittington had been drinking

If they suspect it, they would have asked directly and they also would have to file a police report of the incident I believe. it would be in his doctors notes, possibly any blood work ordered, he was in ICU, so ICU staff would know. Looks like some stones need to be turned over. Wouldn't have anything to do with Cheney drinking, but whats good for the goose------is good for Cheney.

17. at least one news report states

that alcohol seems not to be *at fault*; Not that alcohol was not involved; Not that there was no drinking, just that it wasn't "at fault". Interesting phrasing, eh?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

18. And of course it isn't '"at fault" 24 hours after the incident.

He could be in China in a hot air balloon 24 hours later.
