Cheney-Drinking Questions Percolating (and fermenting)

Talk show host Tucker Carlson raises questions on Feb. 16 about Cheney’s decision to drink alcohol before hunting.

The traditional media and the blogosphere are abuzz with questions about the drinking Cheney did before hunting; whether his medications, combined with alcohol, may have played a role; and whether this explains why he didn’t alert the media for so long about the accident (i.e., did he need the time to get the intoxicants out of his system?).

Some of the best writing on the topic:
