Well, Patsy gets it right this time...but I'm a bit confused: I always thought he was FOR the Inquisition, but he seems ambiguous about it here.

The lesson of last week is that the Bush White House had better get its act together, because the adversary press has its act together.

Sounds like he's still FOR it.

Bush taking advice from Pat Buchanan would be like Snow White accepting the poisoned apple.

He is right that the mainstream press is an adversary, and I think this is precisely why it was handled as it was - the MSM went into hysterical orbit, but the battle was on Cheney's terms, not theirs, and they ended up looking like fools by hyping a non-story.

Furthermore, it made them look as inept as they are: if they had really been paying attention, they surely would have noticed ambulances and cars leaving the ranch, and possibly even the police arriving (since it was reported to teh police right after it happened). But instead they were sitting around their hotel rooms waiting for the subject of their reports to come groveling to them with information. Is that what their publications pay them for? I doubt it.

Frankly, I think this was handled just fine and it exploded right in the face of the MSM and squirted ink in their eye.

The sheriff came around early the next morning and met with Cheney.

Here's a better description of the events and the timing.

"Well, Patsy gets it right this time."

Hey Pat always gets it right. That's why opponents can't refute his truth. They just smear his name.
