He wasn't drunk! They just needed that time to get their story
straight. (I actually believe that.) Of course, they sent away the
only 2 people who could have verified that he wasn't intoxicated, and
they [perhaps illegally] interfered with an investigation in doing so.
And with Cheney's *two* prior DUI convictions, he really needed to be
cleared by a real investigation and was just too arrogant to realize it.

The blogs are picking up on this; comparing conflicting statements
statements to more respected "real" news reports and pointing out how
the story keeps changing. Eventually the national news will notice, and
Cheney will be dead meat. I almost feel sorry for him. Almost.
