I have to take issue with your statements. Cheney deliberately pinted his shotgun and fired at a quail. That happens all the time while qail hunting. And you know he was drinking beer because...?
As to the drinking, I'm going on what the national media is reporting. I know, I know, they're wrong more often than not.
Any way it's looked at, the VP has really stepped in it. The media feeding frenzy, while predictable, fairly disgusts me. Never seen so many people so happy about an innocent bystander getting shot.
Are you a hunter?
