No shinola!"Cheney Does Not Care About the Press"
My kinda guy.
Boy, is Cheney ever going to be surprised when he isn`t nominated in 2008.
"He's comfortable in his own skin, particularly when he's carrying a shotgun made in Italy..."

Great speech by Rush. Superb.
I call it a speech because I don't know what else to call it. It's not a rant, because it's too well controlled. It's not a column because it's spoken. It's not exactly an oration, because it's too informal. But maybe oration is a good word, because Rush has a gift for rhetoric, for buildup, for using the right words and rhythms, for making his point and driving it home.
The three major aspects of an oration are ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos is the character of the speaker: you trust, admire, and believe him. Pathos appeals to the audience's feelings and stirs them up. Logos is the word, the appeal to reason that convinces the audience rationally. Rush does them all very well.
The reason he will prevail is the Washington and other liberal press corps are going nuts, look like they are nuts and are going to be even nuttier when they don't get a direct shot at him.
Why help your adversaries when they are committing social suicide?
As far as the President he should just indicate the VP has said what happened and he, too, is hoping for the early recovery of the victim. If asked in a press conference he should demur with the above comments only.
There is nothing in the Constitution or political SOP that demands obeisance to the Washington press corp.
I don't care about the press either so that makes two of us. Of course, they don't care if we like them they like themselves enough for all of us.
That's what the totalitarian freaks are upset about.
This is the nightmare of the press...
When conservative leaders can openly and with impunity say and ACT like the MSM are irrelevent they soon BECOME irrelevant.
The MSM is terrified that Cheney, by ignoring the prima donnas, is supporting the new media and fostering the demise of the dinosaur media.
The hairstyles on camera are quaking in their mouse bottles.
Should we start a betting pool:
Who will be the first to call for a congressional hearing into the "delay" in reporting the incident to the press?
No shinola!...and what was your first clue?
I'd go hunting any day with Cheney over getting sodomized by Barney Frank.
Caring about the press would be like.... caring about a corn on your foot.
Well, he's gone and done it now. He's antagonized the press and they'll never let him forget it. He'll get nothing but critical write-ups from here on out. Why, if he were running for public office again, the press probably wouldn't even vote for him.
