Cheney-Drinking Questions Percolating (and fermenting)

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:

Think Progress: McClellan Ducks Questions on Role of Alcohol

AMERICAblog: What did Cheney drink and when did he drink it?

Tucker Carlson: You CanӒt Drink A Beer If You Shoot. Period.

Think Progress: Inconsistencies in statements of Cheney’s “star witness”

Raw Story: ‘Beer quote’ scrubbed from MSNBC story

The Nation’s John Nichols: Cheney has a lot more explaining to do
