I like to point out that there are only two kinds of grownups in modern American life who show up in public with as many contusions, lacerations, and bruises on their faces on such a regular basis as George W. Bush:
- Prizefighters; and
- Falling down drunks. [...]
But I'm completely serious about it. And anybody who just didn't wake up on Earth yesterday should be, too.

This guy might be on to something. The egregious case was after Katrina. First he showed up at the New Orleans airport talking about his boozing days in the French Quarter. And shortly thereafter he made that comment about rebuilding Trent Lott's porch.
But maybe he's been sauced the whole presidency? Wouldn't you, if Dick Cheney were your boss? Consider Scooter Libby's broken leg? How do you think that happened?
It would be fun to make a list of all the injury-prone subordinates of Dick Cheney.
