I really dislike Fat Tim.
I'm waiting now for the 11am Russert show....VP Cheney's calm put downs are much more effective than ugly retaliatory remarks, which would give dems an excuse to dominate the airwaves w/ "See? He was mean to Tim!" IMO.
LOVE CHENEY!!! never more than when he called the NYT column saying he'd lost power, as "another one of those thumbsuckers". LOL
and when Tim asked about Armitage, asking, do you mean to imply "Armitage needs a pardon?"
You can tell the moment Tim ran out of scripted questions...he forgets to form a question, he's silly sounding, off balance, and Cheney gets to poke fun of him.
Tim has run of questions and has 10 minutes to make a fool of himself with "what ifs".
I really dislike Fat Tim.
It seems to me that the Vice-President's response should have bee, "Had we known that Richard Armitage was the source of the leak at the same time Patrick Fitzgerald found out, Scooter Libby could have avoided much unpleasantness. I'm sure that will come up in the Libby trial..."
