Reply #153: The other was evidently the ambassador to Switzerland.

Both of the companions on this pseudo-cowboy strut were attractive middle aged women not married to either of the men. When I first heard about that, my eyebrows immediately went up, but then again, I'm among the first to jump to suspicious conclusions with perpetrators like these. I've been conditioned to expect ill of them. My suspicions were heightened by posts here, a few days ago when the story first broke, from DUers who are also hunters, or who know hunters. There were quite a few posts about the so-called "hunting weekend" that one spouse runs off to enjoy, leaving the other spouse back home (ostensibly because she doesn't really enjoy hunting). It's just a cover for meeting a little birdie on the side, as opposed to strictly shooting at little birdies. Or, um, maybe the spouse thinks it's one kind of shooting, but the hunter knows it's a "different kind" of shooting, so to speak. Those posts made an awful lot of sense to me. Notice how Lynnie baby was nowhere in sight.

Further, about the drinking, I'm suspicious there as well. Especially since cheney copped to having a beer with lunch. I suspect strongly that this is the type of thing in which - if he SAYS he had one beer, it actually means he had several. Or maybe it wasn't even a beer. Maybe a highball or four. It's like when you see one cockroach. You know that really means there are several hundred more close by that you can't see.

I know enough about these people to suspect the worst of them, always, and never to take what they say at face value. There's ALWAYS an angle. There's ALWAYS a wink-wink nudge-nudge. There's ALWAYS fine print. There's ALWAYS an ulterior motive. There's ALWAYS more in what they don't say than there is in what they do say. Especially when it's safe to assume that what they do say is usually a lie of some sort. I just know better. I've heard enough, I've seen enough, I've read enough. It's all there in their track record.
