Wow, I hadn't heard. If I was that deputy, I would have got my chief involved Right-Fucking-Now, and backed off to let the big dogs fight. How is this guy supposed to go against the Secret Service?

Ummmm, I think there is an element of priveledge that comes with political rank.
"Who are you?"
"I am the Vice-President of the United States of America."
"Never heard of ya. Back of the line, pal."
Is it right, in a democracy, to treat people with priveledge? No, of course not. I should be afforded the same treatment as the VP. Does it happen? You bet your ass it does. Hell, I don't think Jennifer Anniston or Paris Hilton have got a parking or speeding ticket in a decade.

If this guy dies, I expect manslaughter and Obstruction of Justice charges to be filed against Cheney and O of J charges against the acting head of SS for the Veep, and dereliction of duty against the Sheriff.

I hadn't thought about the different charges that could be filed, but to mention it, you are probably pretty close. I would not give the Sheriff too hard a time, but would come down double hard on the Secret Service on this. Can you imagine what went through the SS close protection guys minds when this shit went down? It would be like watching some twisted independent film.
