Was Cheney Drunk?

Here's an interesting tidbit scrubbed from the initial MSNBC story via thoughtcrimes.org:

Katherine Armstrong:

"There may be a beer or two in there," she said, "but remember not everyone in the party was shooting.".

Hmmm...A vice-president twice convicted of drunk driving goes hunting, has a few beers, and shoots a guy in the face.

What is the reaction of the American press corps? They scrub the quote.

Move along, folks. Nothing to see here.

Why aren't they asking "Mr Vice-President, do you have a drinking problem"?

I'm just asking. Don't tap my phone line, please.
