"but you know how long the MSM will belabor this minor event, in which the Vice President was NOT at fault."

You don't hunt, do you? I assure you, Cheney knows it was his fault.

Seems like we're watching a partisan "beehive" metaphor. A bunch of self-appointed drones buzzing around the Queen Bee, to offer their stingerless defense of the Queen's Challenged Honor.

We see it more and more, lately, and it's not limited to any particular party. We are beoming an intensely partisan sociey, with "Party Loyalty" being valued above all else, to the point that it is equated with patriotism and love of country.

It's sad, it's scary, and sometimes -- as we see in this thread -- it's even comical, in a twisted kind of way. (The incredible convolutions that are offered up in defense of the Queen Bee, to "prove" that the victim was at fault, because the underlying premise -- the immutable rule of politics -- is that the Queen can do NO wrong. So, if "wrong" does transpire, it's obviously either "someone else's fault", or, "no one's fault".)

Yes, comical. But moreso, chilling, when one examines the historical record of cultures that have opted to go down that road.
