#3 Doctors tell me that someone like Cheney, who is taking blood thinners because of his history of heart attacks, could get legally drunk now after consuming just one drink.

Sounds like the "lawyers" that Lawrence O'Donnell allegedly talked to.

A written report from Secret Service agents guarding Vice President Dick Cheney when he shot Texas lawyer Harry Whittington on a hunting outing two weeks ago says Cheney was "clearly inebriated" at the time of the shooting.
One might wonder how Doug Thompson managed to get his hands on that briefing...

"This was a South Texas hunt," says one White House aide. "Of course there was drinking. There's always drinking. Lots of it."
And who talked to him in the White House?

#4 Lol. I can't remember which SnarkMeister posted it, but they parodied the Skeery event where he blamed the SecSvc guy for knocking him down on the ski slopes.

Toss that in here for humor and derision of the conspiracy idjits and Bush-haters.

#5 I call bullshit. The secret service would never let drunk folks run around with guns near their charge.

#6 "Capitol Hill Blue" is moonbat country. This is the same clown that was peddling a story that President Bush was "erratic" and mentally unstable back in the 2004 campaign. (Check the comment thread here for more detail.) So far out there that even the NYT and DU and Kos don't believe it.

#7 Apparently that ranch is basically the whole county.

I totally want to take the tour: "Here is our barn, here is our vegetable garden, here is our Grand Jury..."

#8 I get from a semi-reliable source (er, me), according to the reports (ok, hallucinations) that the ranch itself was blotto drunk, causing the ground to lurch and be "wavy", resulting in misunderaiming and the dischargification of the VPs' nug.

Now blow some holes in THAT reality... go ahead... I dare ya...

#10 Did Cheney wait longer than Teddy?

Was Whittington bleeding the whole time?

#11 Anyway, I thought the problem with that incident is that Cheney was hunting lawyers *outside* of season. Drunk or not, I want him to be fined, lawyers may not be endangered, especially in the USA, I simply can't admit that kind of reckless hunting during reproductive season.

#12 so what if he was drinking? Good grief. The liberals are for liberalizing drugs - but think it's a capital crime if Cheney gets drunk. Get a life.
