Dear Friends: The Texas sheriff who investigated Vice President Dick Cheney's shooting of his quail hunting buddy finally got around today to releasing witness statements about the accident.

Comely Casey Hicks contends that our publication of the image has, among other things, held her up to ridicule. Apparently that felony collar for selling 49 Ecstasy tablets to an undercover cop wasn't nearly as mortifying.

Take a look for yourself: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0217062contract1.html It's now officially a trend. We've found another arrestee who has tattooed America's favorite two-word profanity on his face: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0217061fy1.html New prize contest has started, so just tell us what name the government snitch used for heroin and you might win some fine loot, including DVDs of "The Aristocrats" and director Werner Herzog's "Grizzly Man." And you'll also take home our mug shot playing cards and Valerie Flame hot sauce.
