but the article did so in a gratuitously partisan manner.

I think that's the problem. I've been reading along and have had in my mind that someone accused Cheney of being drunk, which IMO is way over the top. So I just went back and read the piece again and found no such assertion, only questions, which I think are legitimate to wonder about. So why did Rambi respond as she did and why did I have the impression that the article was out there? I think the "gratuitously partisan" tone of the piece, the speculation framed in a way that they came across as a wink-wink assertion, and the tone of the accompanying comments from Scott which had a conspiratorial edge to them.

One can raise questions about the reasons for the delay in meeting with the police, even speculate about alcohol, without it coming across as an accusation. An accusation was what I read into it, aptly or not.
