1) He shot someone in the face. 2) Shooting someone in the face -- on a hunting trip -- is not in and of itself reason for a vice-president to resign. Hunting is a dangerous sport and anyone embarking upon it knows the risks involved and being shot is one of them. It is what Cheney did -- or more explicitly what he did NOT do -- immediately after the incident that leads me to my conclusion.
3) Cheney has had during his lifetime not one but two drunk driving convictions. 4) Cheney is a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States, the most powerful and responsible position in the world. 5) Upon shooting someone in the face, the first priority of a person in such a position of responsibility is to ensure the public, his president and his administration that he was NOT under the influence of alcohol at the time of the shooting. Certainly, ensuring that his victim is provided with immediate medical care is an important concern but that is NOT as important as ensuring that the public and the world at large are confident that the vice-president was in full control of his faculties. This is serious stuff. 6) Whether Cheney did indeed have one or two beers or none is irrelevant. What is relevant is that he undertook the actions that he should have which is: get yourself to the nearest hospital and demand that either a breathalizer or a blood test be given to a twice-convicted drunk driver who very well may have his finger on the nuclear button so that all are assured that he did not shoot his victim under the influence. 7) Cheney did NOT do this and this is what makes him unfit to be president and, by implication, unfit to be vice-president. He should resign forthwith. ------------------------ Yahoo!
