Cheney is "in a state of meltdown," according to this story FDL linked to. Guess I'll shed a crocodile tear or two for "poor old Dick."
On second thought, maybe not. The hell with 'im.
Like a lawyer friend of mine told me last night: if it'd been anyone else, you can be damn sure the police investigation would've been a LOT more thorough, a LOT more prosecutorial, and a LOT LESS sympathetic to the perpetrator. At a minimum, you'd be looking at something like reckless endangerment, REGARDLESS of whether or not the accident occured on private property.
I'm guessing the breathalyzer would've quickly been put to use as well. One beer--yeah, right.
As for me, I consider Dick's little Texas adventure to be pretty much a metaphor for the entire administration to date: shoddy or no preparation, arrogance, bumbling, inattention, incompetence...and shoot first before you even know what you're aiming at. Way to go...Dick.
