Matalin made clear that no one, with the exception of the president, tells Cheney what to do. A month ago Cheney caused a stir when he told Sen. Pat Leahy to "f--- yourself" after Leahy came over to jolly him up on the Senate floor. (Cheney was mad at Leahy for making political hay over Cheney's ties to his old company, Halliburton.) Afterward, a senior White House official told news-week that Communications Director Dan Bartlett advised the Cheney team to "just make a joke of it." But Cheney did not. Rather, the veep affirmed to Fox News that he had told off Leahy and "felt better afterwards." In her interview with NEWSWEEK, Matalin doubted that Cheney had ever heard the White House official's advice. "I know what advice he was given because it came directly from me through Liz. And he already knew what he wanted to do," said Matalin.
