Cheney Won't Answer Question - How Much Did You Drink?
Today on Meet the Idiot, the Idiot asked Cheney Spokesperson Mary Matalin whether Cheney "literally" had one beer on the day he blasted a man in the face. True to form, Matalin went into overdrive on spin but failed to answer the question.
Did the oh-so-prosecutorial Pumpkinhead follow-up? Of course not. He wasn't interviewing a Democrat.
Editors & Publishers also has the following:
Of course, the Barney Fifes in Kenedy County apparently did no investigation regarding alcohol use until Monday when they first asked Whittington about it. (On a bizarre sidenote, Matalin claims the Deputy who was prevented from seeing the VP on Saturday was done so for reasons of "National Security").
The E&P article also confirms a fact I thought I saw elsewhere --- Cheney fixed himself a cocktail after the accident. Who would do that? Only two answers come to mind - an Alki or a person who is looking to cover-up alcohol use before the accident.

Editors & Publishers also has the following:
NBC News called the vice president’s office for comment four times Tuesday and Wednesday, it disclosed today, and asked whether the vice president or anyone in the hunting party had consumed any alcohol on Saturday prior to the accident. In an e-mail statement Wednesday to NBC News, the vice president’s press secretary referred NBC News to the Kenedy County Sheriff’s Department report on the incident, which said it did not believe alcohol use was a factor in the shooting.

I feel compelled to repost what I said in your "Barney Fife meets Cheney" thread:
Prosecutors like to talk about "consciousness of guilt."
Consider the following evidence that Cheney knew he was tanked:
1. The secret service interfered with local authorities fresh investigation in the critical hrs following the shooting;
2. Cheney's failure to go to the hospital, where his sobriety or lack thereof would be on display. (What a lame excuse that there wasn't room in the van..gimme a f'ing break. Like a group of fatcats only has one vehicle available. Or that nobody in that group of tax cut beneficiaries could afford to spring for a cab to be with their friend in his hour of need)
3. Cheney's decision to go to dinner and have a cocktail. In the event that plan #1 fails (i.e., the cops do show and see that you're blotto), you can plausibly contend that you didn't start into the sauce until after shooting your friend.
[end of old post; beginning of new trenchant observation:]
Al Franken Fri night in Portland articulated the 3 conceivable reasons for not accompanying the guy you just shot to the hospital:
1) shooter is drunk;
2) shooter is an asshole and jerk'
3) shooter is both drunk and an asshole and jerk.

Webhub,
All the points you made are logical. Funny how such simple logic supposedly escapes the cops when it comes to Cheney.
