Cheney's Chappaquiddick II: The Real Story Emerges

The real story is already emerging, if you're willing to do a little digging. Cheney and Whittington went hunting with two women (not their wives), there was some drinking, and Whittington wound up shot. Armstrong didn't see the incident but claimed she had, Cheney refused to be questioned by the Sheriff until the next morning, and a born-again evangelical physician has been downplaying Whittington's injuries since they occurrred. Neither the press nor law enforcement seems inclined to investigate.

Before the right-wing commenters howl - there's documentation for all of these statements. Let's take them one by one: In addition to Cheney and Whittington, the hunting party included Katherine Armstrong (who was in the car at the time of the shooting: more on that later). After lots of evasive comments that only referred to a "third hunter," we now know her identity: Pamela Willeford, the US Ambassador to Switzerland.

Then there was this Armstrong quote on MSNBC and picked up by Firedoglake (later dutifully scrubbed, but preserved on Google cache): "There may be a beer or two in there," (Armstrong) said, 'but remember not everyone in the party was shooting.'"

Interestingly, Armstrong's playing with words here. She later said that she (Armstrong) hadn't had anything to drink, so at least one of the other three must have been drinking - and the other three were shooting. So while her statement was literally correct ("not everyone ... was shooting"), it gives the false impression that nobody drank and shot.

(snip)

The article further gives strong proof that Armstrong, contrary to what she has said, did not see the shooting. The article states that Armstrong said that, on seeing Secret Service take off running towards the scene, her "first thought" was that "he" (Cheney) had had a heart problem. If she didn't KNOW why the Secret Service was running over there--and had to speculate as to why they were running over there-- then she obviously had not seen the man get shot.

1. Well..

Cheney's definitely a bad Muslim.

(that's a much happier thought than thinking this was all mostly a rich 'old guy' sex fantasy trip...the images will start to burn after a few seconds)


Cheney: I figured you had them...YOU forgot the Viagra?
Whittington: I thought you brought them, I brought them last time...
Cheney: Why you sonofabitch...I'm the fuckin' Vice President...you Fuck...BOOM!
