Reply #187: I'll agree with you about the DUI's

but the fact that he had to admit to "a drink" at lunch and that someone admitted he had "a cocktail" after the shooting speaks volumes to me. Cheney and/or his handlers must have known the delay would raise questions, so they would be loath to mention any alcohol consumption that day unless there was absolutely no way to deny it. Too many people must have seen him tying one on.

Of course, it doesn't follow from that that Chestpainey is a chronic alkie, but it is absolutely relevant as to what state he was in when he shot his buddy.
