Cheney is 90 years old. Who cares about drinking at Yale. How much dope have most liberal boomers smoked--far more than cheney drank, i imagine. But it doesnt matter anyway, he isnt running for pres and when he steps down he will screw the left good as Bush annoints his successor. 8 more years so you can all get your wish and continue the great whining sound that will kill more birds than cheney ever could.

Cheney has decided to declassify info relating to Plame outing: "I have certainly advocated declassification. I have participated in declassification decisions," Cheney said, while refusing to elaborate. A legal expert said Cheney's TV appearance could foreshadow a Libby defense. Former Whitewater independent counsel Robert Ray said Cheney's ex-chief of staff could point to authorization from his superiors as part of his strategy at trial. "If it turns out that Cheney was actively involved in decisions related to the disclosure of a CIA officer's identity and if the truth of it is that he was orchestrating the disclosure of information to the media, it seems to me that's a fundamentally different case than one centered around the activities of Libby," said Ray. On Oct. 28 of last year, Libby was indicted on five counts of perjury, obstruction and lying to the FBI about how he learned of the identity of undercover CIA officer Valerie Plame's identity and what he told reporters about it. In July 2003, Plame's CIA identity was published by columnist Robert Novak eight days after Plame's husband, former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson, accused the administration of twisting intelligence about whether Iraq sought to buy uranium in Niger. forbes.com
