"The Blame Belongs To Secretive & Vindictive CHENEY" (US News & World Report)

It's Libby's Time to Tell All

Vice President Cheney has become the most marginalized figure in the Bush administration. Even among many Republican loyalists, he has lost his already fading influence.

Even before the verdict in the Scooter Libby trial, Cheney was losing any heft with GOP-ers in Congress. Don't expect him to be a star fundraiser for Republicans up for re-election next year.

.............................

The juror in the Libby trial who suggested that Cheney's main man was taking one for the team was on to something. The trial supported the clear evidence that Cheney was bent on smearing anyone who opposed the administration's murky case for going to war.

................................

So the fellow who may be taking one for the team also has the chance to tell us where the blame belongs–the secretive, vindictive, and now sidelined Dick Cheney.

somewhere.

2. Whatwhatwhat?!

Useless News and World Distort excoriating Dick Cheney? Well, to be fair, they're more worried about Cheney's heft as a fund-raiser for Republican candidates than any picayune illegalities or crimes that may have been committed.

3. Wouldn't you think his boss should do something about this?

In the sanctified world of business wouldn't the boss fire or at least demote a renegade like this guy?

4. but chimpy is the 'decider'

so that would make him to blame no matter what, in a 'reality-based' world at least.
