Why does the MSM think Bush should listen to them and not Cheney?

[somemoreequalthanothers]

52 percent of Americans think the indictment of Cheney's former chief of staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby reflects broader ethics problems in the administration, according to a Washington Post/ABC News Poll.

I propose that before being able to participate in such a poll, a person should have to be able to answer what Libby is charged with.

[FairOpinion]

"Cheney is feeding Bush's instinct never to give ground when under attack, "



That is excellent advice.

[RobinOfKingston]

Cuz they are a bunch of self-centered, egotistical, arrogant bastages who have trouble getting anything right.

[1rudeboy]

Says a former adviser to a Republican president: "In some ways, Cheney is closing a wall around himself."

STFU, Gergen.

[Cicero]

Is this supposed to be a news article? Is there a single verified fact in this whole screed? What passes for news these days in the MSM is pathetic.

The very least they could do is show a picture of Cheney thumbing his nose at his critics.

[vbmoneyspender]

If the case proceeds to trial, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald will try to show that Libby knew Plame was a CIA operative, and to do that, he will have to call as witnesses officials at the White House, the CIA, and presumably the State Department.

This reporter is a moron (which admittedly is not too unusual a character trait when discussing the MSM). The last thing in the world Fitzgerald will want to do is get into the issue of Plame's covert status not only because it was non-existent at the time she sent her hubby on the trip to Niger, but also because getting into Plame's covert status will allow the defense to start subpoenaing all kinds of classified records that the gov't won't be willing to give up.

[samantha]

Who are these so-called sources? An aide to a Republican President could be anyone from Eisenhower or Jerry Ford to Nixon. Good grief these writers are stuck on stupid.

[blackie]

The liberal, jerk-weed, moonbat, MSM doesn't get it and never will!

[southernnorthcarolina]

Wow. Cheney gives no quarter, plays for all the marbles, thumbs his nose at critics, builds a link to the right, rides the funraising circuit, and feeds Bush's instincts, all somehow while closing a wall around himself. Wotta guy!

It's metaphor madness!

"If the case proceeds to trial, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald will try to show that Libby knew Plame was a CIA operative, and to do that, he will have to call as witnesses officials at the White House, the CIA, and presumably the State Department."

Yes, but as the pendulum swings.... Let's hope Libby's lawyer gets to call all your lying mainstream media buddies to the stand where they will be under oath with the threat of jail time should they perjure themselves. Wonder who man MSM necks could fit in one noose?

[hsalaw]

This entire story is built around a poll that is probably so slanted it bears no resemblence to reality. And this is what passes for "news" in old media.

[asp1]

Vice President Dick Cheney=one of the best reasons to vote for President Bush.

[upchuck]

"He [President Bush] seems content to remain a 51-percent president, unlike other presidents who wanted to increase their job approval far beyond that," says a friend. "In fact, as long as he gets one more vote than the other side, he seems happy."

And that is because he is not an arrogant, narcissistic, sociopath like his predecessor.

[manwiththehands]

"... Cheney is feeding Bush's instinct never to give ground when under attack ..."

HUH? What dimension did I wake up in this morning? Never give ground? Explain all the pork spending, the pandering to Mooslems, offering to rebuild NOLA and attacking Bill Bennett.(scoff)

[operation clinton cleanup]

Friends say he has decided that he will never catch a break from the Democrats or the media

a little late to reach that conclusion... IMHO.

[no dems]

"Friends say (Bush) has decided that he will never catch a break from the Democrats or the media--on the CIA case or anything else--so he will govern from the right,..."

Bless his heart, it's about time he realized that.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Far from being chastened by recent setbacks, including the indictment of his chief of staff, Vice President Dick Cheney is thumbing his nose at his critics--and encouraging President Bush to do the same. "Bush and Cheney are standing as one," says a prominent Republican who regularly advises the White House. "Their strategy is to get the conservative base solidified again, and Cheney is key because he is the administration's main link to the right."

I like it, I love it, I want some more of it.

[Recovering_Democrat]

The CIA case has Bush aides deeply worried because it has the potential to do far more damage to the White House. The president's top aide, Karl Rove, remains under investigation, and his fate is uncertain.

Horsecrap. Just fight back--the security of the nation weighs in the balance, and Joe Wilson is a punk. Keep the bad guys--sadly, in this case our own countrymen--off balance. Hit 'em with a right hook and then a left jab. Never give them a chance to get up...believe me, Mr. President, when you're down they never relent.

[ohhhh]

[President Bush, meanwhile, is thinking in bigger terms. Friends say he has decided that he will never catch a break from the Democrats or the media--]

What took him so long to realize this fact?

[--on the CIA case or anything else--so he will govern from the right, as he did on most issues in his first term.]

This is what he was elected for in the first place! His effort to govern from the moderate position caused his slide downhill and has resulted in his so many of his and our troubles. Perhaps Rove's undoing will help President Bush to do his job and govern from the right.

[p23185]

Why does the MSM think Bush should listen to them and not Cheney?

Or even better yet why should he listen to the members of the Rats in Congress like Sen. Barbara Mikulski
