I know, but it's a great example of how blinded people are by party politics. Both of these individuals had their sobriety tests, delayed/omitted when it was obvious that both of them should have been tested immediately. If it is wrong when it happened to Kennedy, then it's also wrong when it happened to Cheney.
All I am asking is for politicians to be treated the same as everyone else. Being an apologist for your 'side' doesn't help anybody. The same lack of pressure on Cheney by conservatives is the same kind of thing that lets Kennedy get off the hook now. This a microcosm of the type of thing that allows widespread corruption in government.
