Enigma Dick, the Boozer?

Interesting excerpt from today's White House press briefing with Scott McClellan, during which a reporter questioned why Cheney's blood alcohol level wasn't taken after he shot his buddy, especially considering the men admitted to drinking during lunch earlier in the day. Also, the VP was not questioned by the po-po's at all until the next day. The reporter's point being that regular Joe citizen wouldn't have been treated so nicely. She must remember that this is America, and politicians and celebrities are different from us. If Dick killed Mrs. Cheney and blamed it on a one armed man, a one armed man did it. Case in point: O.J., Robert Blake, Winona Ryder, Robert Downey Jr., Gary Condit...the list goes on forever.

I also thoroughly enjoyed the fact that when Dick finally decided to discuss this whole matter, he chose Fox News. How convenient.
