Cheney's big mistake - dissing the press. It's all about them, you know

[beaconess]

Had he just shot someone and kissed press ass (even just gave a scoop to Chris or Sean or Brit), he would have been home free.

But he obviously hasn't learned that the press couldn't care less about wrongdoing by our public officials. But if you diss THEM, they come at you with both barrels.

This story is being covered ONLY because the press is pissed.

1. hope they stay good and pissed . . . n/t

2. His big mistake is thinking he's omnipotent; he's not, and

not too popular to boot. The mouthpieces are going for the jugular tonight, and it's a joy to see!

3. Doesn't help that he left the WH meeting

with Annan before the press was allowed in either. Trying to dodge the bullet, Cheney?

5. I hope he's not getting 'heart' palpatations over this,

wink wink! ;-) ;-)

6. I hope he's staying 'upbeat'

regarding his victim's prognosis. ;)

4. The worst in a long line of insults.

7. Oh wait..

... I thought the press was completely controlled by wingnuts. What's going on?

Hint: the press loves a juicy story that will attract viewers. Repubs did one on accident this time, usually they are on purpose.
