Capitol Hill (yeah – I know) reports this morning that Secret Service agents in Mr Cheney’s security detail have filed multiple reports that Mr Cheney was drinking on the hunt and was in fact as drunk as a Republican left alone in a cash room at a casino.

Agents observed several members of the hunting party, including the Vice President, consuming alcohol before and during the hunting expedition, the report notes, and Cheney exhibited "visible signs" of impairment, including slurred speech and erratic actions. According to those who have talked with the agents and others present at the outing, Cheney was drunk when he gunned down his friend and the day-and-a-half delay in allowing Texas law enforcement officials on the ranch where the shooting occurred gave all members of the hunting party time to sober up.

One agent at the scene has been placed on administrative leave and another requested reassignment this week. A memo reportedly written by one agent has been destroyed, sources said Wednesday afternoon.

Now, there are many reasons why an agent might be put on administrative leave, up to, and including moral disgust at being required to sacrifice his own life to save an ethical swamp like Mr Cheney. And agents do in fact rotate in and out of personal security details. The Service feels it’s essential to get people out of what is a very high stress detail and put them back on the street where they can concern themselves with crushing crime, rather than enabling it.

A destroyed memo? Fascinating. This entire story has to be moved forward. With sufficient repetition, the good puppy press will cause additional details to be teased out of the festering bog of lies, obfuscations and plausible denials that is the Bu$h maladministration.

Secret Service officials also took possession of all tests on Whittington's blood at the hospitals where he was treated for his wounds. When asked if a blood alcohol test had been performed on Whittington, the doctors who treated him at Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial in Corpus Christi or the hospital in Kingsville refused to answer. One admits privately he was ordered by the Secret Service to "never discuss the case with the press."

Some say that Capitol Blue has a poor track record for accuracy. That may be. However, contrary to the CW espoused by some in the Democratic Party this is not an issue whose day has come and gone. It’s essential to hammer home every point, every day in order to wake up a voting public put to sleep by years of complicit MSM collaboration with the Republicans.
