After his term in office Dick will most likely return to work for Halliburton as a consultant or write a book about the war years or both.

He had two secret service cars at his disposal! The only reason that I can think of is "he was drunk" or had been drinking. If "YOU" had been in the same situation would you have gone to the hospital with him? I sure would have unless that I had something to hide. Lets be reasonable, I think most of us would have gone to the hospital with him. SOME FRIEND CHENEY IS.

But it's entirely possible the hunters had hoisted a few beers. That is not uncommon.

But most make those distinctions when the subject belongs to the other political party. In other words, character doesn't count. What is important is what party you belong to.

The general public don't give a rip about anything other than the incident and most have already forgotten it already. As to claiming that Cheney or anyone was drunk is pure speculation and fiction. It's laughable as to how creative the mind can be when we are desperately looking for a certain outcome. Get a grip people, this just might be an unfortunate hunting accident that happens throughout the USA during every hunting season.

Hume is one of the most level headed news anchors out there. Can you show something to the contrary? And do you think Cheney picked Fox news by chance??? Fox news, the voice of the Conservative spin machine. Quote: "The police have deemed it a closed case. Cheney claims to have had uno beerski at lunch. It's all over folks." Yeah right... and I got a bridge to sell you! My friends drink beer from a glass called a "two bedroom" (24oz. glass) and refer to it as an uno brewski. Ain't everything bigger in Texas? How in the world can the police determine the shooting wasn't alcohol related, he wasn't tested on the spot? One can dump a lot of alcohol out of they're system in 20 hours.

After all it was just an unfortunate accident and we lose about 50,000 a year in car wrecks so what was the big deal?? Ken "It's only bad if a Democrat does it"

And it's not like he shot a human being. The victim is a rich Republican lawyer, remember? I never would've thought Cheney was a Shakespeare fan.
