FASCINATING GUY, THAT DICK CHENEY
And Fun, Too!

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, responding to criticism of his January duck-hunting trip with Vice President Dick Cheney, today said in a written statement: “I never hunted in the same blind with the vice president. Nor was I alone with him at any time during the trip, except, perhaps, for instances so brief and unintentional that I would not recall them -- walking to or from a boat, perhaps, or going to or from dinner.”

Imagine that. Being alone with Mr. Number Two and not being able to remember a thing about it. Cheney must be some conversationalist.

And “unintentional.” That’s a nice touch. Sounds like Scalia was almost avoiding the not-all-that-vaguely creepy Cheney. Or maybe he just wants us to think he was.
