White House Livid About Handling Of Cheney Incident -CBS
Dow Jones News Service (excerpt) ^ | February 14, 2006

Posted on 02/14/2006 6:12:17 PM PST by HAL9000

NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- A source described as close to the Bush administration said people inside the White House are "livid" about the way Vice President Dick Cheney's office has handled the hunting accident he was involved in over the weekend, CBS News reported Tuesday.

According to CBS News, the source said the issue was no longer Cheney's view of press management but rather about Iraq, Hurricane Katrina and a range of other issues that play into the public's view of the administration's arrogance.

CBS News reported that private signals were being sent that the matter has been handled badly and Cheney needs to come out and say something.

Exactly. I hope he calls the Pineland Gazette and gives a three pager to someone named Hazel. I would love to see David Gregory trying to get in touch with Hazel, and being told she is out for awhile, gone to Bronson, cokes are on sale at the Brookshire Brothers, would he like to leave a message.

"Who's their source .. the girl in the mailroom?"

Probably not even that high up in the chain. More like the cleaning lady.

Oh, so the administration isn't really concerned about Cheney, but just their own arrogance about Iraq and a hurricane last year.

Gotcha.

You know, there are plenty of threads on FR where you can whine about immigration till your heart is content.

There is no reason to try and hijack this one.

What more is there to say?

It was simply an accident.

The press sure is vicious.

Absolutely! Quail hunting in and of itself has some dangers involved, as the quail are flying all over the place. You can't just stick your gun up in the air in a fixed spot and expect to hit something.

I resent that on behalf of clowns everywhere. Most clowns are not treasonous, communist clinton eaters hell bent on settingup a Soviet gulag where this beautiful country used to be. They deserve better respect than that. :(

Quite frankly, I'm glad members of the MSM are so near-sighted, they can't even see what fools they are in the eyes of the public.

And they have the audacity to compare Cheney to "Elmer Fudd"! They deserve a new label--- the "Magoo Stream Media".

White House are "livid" about the way Vice President Dick Cheney's office has handled the hunting accident he was involved in over the weekend, CBS News reported Tuesday.

My bet: The See B.S. reporter mistranscribed "laughing". Well, obviously with an injured man still in the hospital no one is laughing. But I was in the vicinity of several "water cooler" type settings today, and no one I came across is upset about Cheney's handling of the matter. Rather they were dumbfounded, aghast or amused at the pressitutes' Midol Valium Halodol deprived, hyperventilating overreaction.

The MSM idiots are too self-absorbed, biased and stupid to grasp the fact that they are making royal asses of themselves. If I were in the Whitehouse I'd do everything possible to feed their insanity and inanity.

First step (long overdue): Replace little Scottie with a press secretary who will laugh openly at them.

Go somewhere else and carp about immigration, which is off topic. There's plenty of threads to do that in, and there's even a search feature.

The Clinton admin's problem (among others) is that it lied even when it didn't have to. The Bush admin's problem (among others) is that they come across as secretive when they don't have to.

Ding Ding Ding...

Even the Plame thing could have easily been diffused by simply stating the cold hard facts. She wasn't undercover, and she was manipulating info on yellow cake by suggesting her democrat-funding hubby.

Not really... it's just another monumental failing of the Stupid Party.

They're just lucky they run against the Crazy Party.
