Has anyone pointed out the possibility that perhaps Cheney has gone rogue? Seriously. He's been under a lot of strain with the stupid Libby witchhunt, he hasn't looked well lately in my opinion. Look at recent photos. There's a weird look behind his eyes that brings to mind a trapped animal.
Some people are suggesting that the whole thing is a cover-up, that the guy startled Cheney and Cheney jumped him and chewed off half his face before they could pull him off. One report has it that the were going to put the Vice President down then and there and test the corpse for rabies, but that cooler heads prevailed.
These are not good times.
