The larger question is, why wasn't the Washington press corp, and specifically, David Gregory, notified that Cheney was having a beer at lunch, at the time!!
The question no one seems to be asking is, How many times did the VP go to the bathroom that day? Was he shooting up with heroin in there? And what magazines were present? I've heard rumors that The Nation was not among those sitting on top of the can. This needs a special counsel.
