Another lefty pipedream. Honestly, I'm loving this. The PR wasn't bungled. I'm thinking Rove is behind this whole thing. For the record: I think this entire episode was handled brilliantly by Cheney and his staff. Except for the little deal with shooting his friend. Bummer about that.
Face it. Rove wants to discredit the MSM but can't get it done on his own. Why not hatch a plot to entice the MSM into self immolating on their own, right in front of all the swing voters, just 6 months before an election. Brilliant!
But ya gotta hep me here. Why on earth do the demos want Cheney to quit? If he does, Bush will replace him with the, likely, next GOP President. It seems to me that this is another bozo move by the demos and their MSM allies. Demonize Cheney and he stays...who cares, he's not gonna run for another office. Demonize Cheney and he quits and the dumbo-demos have just given a big help to the next GOPer Presidenttial candidate. It kinda reminds me of all the dumbo-Demo celebrating after Clinton escaped impeachment, making Gore the President. They forgot that us GOPers were celebrating even more. The celebration continues today....... ah life is good.
Oh yeah, and now the Bushies have broken the stranglehold of giving the liberal-MSM sole control of interviews and info. Watch the little guys and FOX carry the breaking news from now on. Brilliant!
More on the media idocy from Drudge:
Admitting he hadn't seen the interview, at about 4:15pm EST Wednesday
on CNN's The Situation Room, Jack Cafferty charged that "it didn't exactly
represent a profile in courage for the Vice President to wander over there
to the F-word network for a sit-down with Brit Hume. I mean, that's a
little like Bonnie interviewing Clyde, ain't it?" MSNBC's Keith Olbermann
castigated Cheney for choosing the "more malleable cameras of Fox News" in
place of a press conference. Over on the broadcast network evening
newscasts, NBC's David Gregory, the most aggressive reporter in the White
House press briefings, fired back at Hume, suggesting Cheney chose him
because of his condemnation of the press corps: "Speaking out for the
first time, the Vice President chose to speak with Fox anchor Brit Hume, a
former White House correspondent, he has been outspoken in his criticism
of the White House press corps' coverage of this story." CBS correspondent
Jim Axelrod characterized FNC as a "friendly" venue: "The Vice President
chose to make his first public comments on Fox News Channel's Special
Report, a broadcast Mr. Cheney sees as friendly, and has turned to
before." One doubts reporters presumed Vice President Al Gore was going to
friendly media when he sat down with ABC, CBS, NBC or CNN.
