I mean, one can understand that he clearly was not thinking straight. Who would, after thinking they'd killed their best friend?"
I see Schieffer is doing his best to move the story to the next plateau.

You should know that none of your post applies to Cheney because he is a robot.

The real Dick Cheney was replaced a few years ago, bad ticker and all.

The dictator emperor Bush could not risk Cheney having a heart attack and expose bush as the idiot frat boy he really is.

Cheney is the real absolute ruler of the Neocons.

Everybody at DU knows that.

Great points which I have been trying to make all week; this puts it so much better than I have.

I am certain that this is why the Sheriff was not spoken to until the following morning and indeed the President until the Monday giving the VP time to get himself together and be able to talk about the incident in a coherent fashion.

He has not ducked or shirked asked for time off or anything but even ended the week in a public appearance in his home state.
