Constitutional Incapability

I just read that Cheney, when asked directly if he'd told Leahy to fuck himself, replied, "Probably."

If ever there was a question that both had a definitive yes-or-no answer and should be handled as such, this was it. Witnesses, dontchaknow…

The "probably" line made sense when talking about having information the 9/11 Commission doesn't. It's enough to skew the judgment of some who are on the fence and if pressed he can say, what do you know, it turns out they knew everything I knew after all. But this is just silly. And I don't think he thought about it…I think his reflex is to leave himself leaway for strategic reversals.
