i ran into my old friend michael musto tonight, and he asked me what i thought about the dick cheney fiasco.
to which i replied, ‘he was drunk’, as if it was common knowledge that dick cheney was most likely drunk when he shot his friend in the face.
imagine my surprise when neither michael nor any of the other people within ear-shot(no pun intended)had heard about cheney and his drinking problem.
some salient facts:
dick cheney:
-suspended from yale for drinking
-2 ‘driving under the influence of alcohol’ warrants
-admitting that he was drinking on the day that he shot his friend.
how do you explain the missing 6 hours from the day that he shot his friend?
cheney was drunk, and needed 6 hours to sober up.
it doesn’t take a fucking rocket scientist to put 2 and 2 together in order to see that cheney was liquored up and shot his friend in the face.
also, i’ve spoken to some friends who hunt and they are kind of dismayed that cheney would be shooting at ground level.
i’m not a hunter, but i guess that a responsible and sober hunter would be inclined to shoot birds when they were in the sky, and not at ground level.
but cheney hunts a lot. so why the bad judgement?
hmmm…what legal drug usually impairs peoples judgement?
oh. liquor. that’s right.
cheney must be counting his blessings right now, cos he has essentially gotten away with drunkenly shooting his friend in the face.
too bad we don’t actually have a media with an attention span longer than a kid with add playing video games.
