Brit: It was a slow news week in Washington which contributed to this. The delay in reporting and placement in a local paper contributed to the paper that the press was being dissed. So you had a Beltway firestorm. This issue outside the Beltway has NO traction.
Mara: There is remarkable consensus (65% of Americans) who think Cheney should have come out sooner with the info. But 69% said it will not make them change their minds about the VP. The press thinks the WH is too secretive and the VP's power is unchecked.
Stand by for the smackdown. You know it's coming.
Tbe press have never got any evidence on either Bush or Cheney of any sexual impropriety and that I think ticks them off. They cannot imagine how someone can be married for as long as they have and there be no dirt to dig and even more it is obvious both of them still enjoy and want the company of their spouses.
Yet another thing that the left cannot understand and therefore there must be a cover-up.
There was plenty of news......the media chose to ignore it so they could bash Cheney.
And I am sure with the appropriately worded questions a pollster could come up "95% of Americans believe Cheney should step down immediately." What utter non-sense!
