Uh oh: Cheney Drunk as Skunk?

So.....if he was drunk, is there anything criminal in the US (it's obviously grossly irresponsible) about shooting while drunk?

based on a probably false report

As I said from the beginning, we don't know if the story is true or false.

We do know that Cheney admitted to drinking that day; so the postulate that he was drunk is not a crazy or wild one. It makes sense in a lot of different ways, and corresponds to the way events played out as well.

Therefore, there is more evidence that the story is true, than that it is false; your 'probably false' comment is, in fact, untrue; unless of course, you would like to tell me why you believe the story is probably untrue.

God is there anything bush or Cheney could do that you wouldn't take their side?

My understanding of Texas law is that it would be a felony. It is state and not Federal law that comes into play in this situation.

I find it intreresting [sic] that in the midst of a thread accusing the vice president of immoral behavior based on a probably false report that you would pick my post as a morality guage.

I guess that presents a a clear picture of just how deep your level of blind hatred goes.

Secret Service agents guarding Vice President Dick Cheney when he shot Texas lawyer Harry Whittington on a hunting outing two weeks ago say Cheney was "clearly inebriated" at the time of the shooting.

Agents observed several members of the hunting party, including the Vice President, consuming alcohol before and during the hunting expedition, the report notes, and Cheney exhibited "visible signs" of impairment, including slurred speech and erratic actions.

According to those who have talked with the agents and others present at the outing, Cheney was drunk when he gunned down his friend and the day-and-a-half delay in allowing Texas law enforcement officials on the ranch where the shooting occurred gave all members of the hunting party time to sober up.

We talked with a number of administration officials who are privy to inside information on the Vice President's shooting "accident" and all admit Secret Service agents and others say they saw Cheney consume far more than the "one beer' he claimed he drank at lunch earlier that day.

"This was a South Texas hunt," says one White House aide. "Of course there was drinking. There's always drinking. Lots of it."

Is it the absolute truth, nobody knows for sure yet? But it boggles the mind that you can't, sorry won't allow for even a second, that there could be something to these comments.

We're in the middle of a war and this piece of sh!t hasn't held a press conferance since 2002 and then we find him hunting drunk on heart meds after he shoots a guy in the face.

We are more pathetic then he is. We let them get away with it.
