Cheney had "a" beer. Are you commenting on your own abilities and judgment after "a" beer? Your charge that he "deliberately" pointed a gun at a man is tantamount to a charge of attempted murder. Only a few on the left have gone that far.
No, I'm holding him to the same standards that I would set for myself and anyone else that I go into the woods with. Alcohol and hunting never mix.
And, unless you think that the shotgun fired itself, Cheney pulled the trigger while his hunting partner was in the line of fire. Regardless of what he was aiming at, it was a still a deliberate act, and an inexcusable one. Was it a criminal act? Based on what the media has reported (which as we all know may or may not be accurate) I would say not. But, action still needs to be taken - I'd say at the minimum, revoking his hunting license.
