Like E. said in her response, it's one thing to say there is a hole in the record and a possibility Cheney was intoxicated, so it's a legitimate question to raise absent proof to the contrary. If this had been an ordinary civilian they would have called 911, the police would have come and probably breathalyzed the shooter on the spot to determine possible negligence. Since that didn't happen here due to the VP's status, it's fair ground for questioning. An unacceptable skewering here would be, "What kind of fool are you for thinking Cheney wasn't drunk since he is a lying SOB and we all know it, moron!" The folks I will excise from the board favor that drift, if not quite so directly. One approach opens the discussion to a possibility that needs verification, the other is just an attack on anything and anyone outside the poster's own bias. FWIW, I give a lot of latitude for skewering politicians for the reasons I stated before, but not skewering other posters here for a political view.
