hey salon.com, i'm the real expert

yesterday, january 17th, salon.com posted an article in their "war room" about dick cheney possibly having the gout. it looks like they needed some "expert" to tell them this: James Putney -- the vice president of a consulting firm in Richmond, a former aide to Republican Sen. George Allen and a gout sufferer himself. i guess that i'm not an expert on the subject because i haven't worked in politics and haven't suffered from the gout myself, eh? well, who posted this 10 days earlier on january 7th? people, i know the gout when i see the gout. dick cheney is such a freakin' glutton. sheesh.
