Shoot first, avoid questions later

The White House's secretive response to Cheney's misfire cannot be understood apart from the society of Texas royalty.

    What medications is Cheney taking, and how might they impair his judgement??

    Excellent piece, and I hope Mr. Blumenthal will pursue this investigative trail: What medications (or combinations of) is Dick Cheney ingesting, and how might those medications impair his general perception and/or judgment?

    Blumenthal writes, "On the Hunting Accident and Incident Report Form of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the shooter, Richard B. Cheney, checked the "No" box for the question, 'Under the apparent influence of intoxicants or drugs?'"

    A man with a heart condition and other health problems takes no drugs??

    No reporter has addressed this issue, and I would dearly love to know if Cheney should have had a gun in his hand at all.

    If Mr. Blumenthal has access to avenues to pursue this slant, I hope he will follow them to the answer.
