to people he questions!

[OzarkDem]

They always have a lot of covering up to do. The drunk Cheney theory is starting to look more credible.

[rodeodance]

25. showing clip of press asking: Is it appropreate for a private citizen

Sheriff's department didn't investigate Cheney incident until next day

Pam Willeford, U.S. ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein
The Kenedy County Sheriff’s Department did not investigate the accidental shooting of prominent Texas lawyer Harry Whittington by Vice President Dick Cheney until the next morning.

Cheney, Whittington and U.S. ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein Pam Willeford were hunting quail on the Northwest part of the 50,000-acre Armstrong Ranch Saturday afternoon, when Cheney, firing at a covey of quail, sprayed Whittington with shotgun pellets.

Katharine Armstrong, one of the owners of the ranch, said the priority was to address Whittington’s injuries, and thus it didn’t occur to the family to contact the authorities.
