Thomas M. DeFrank is a HardBall regular with Chris Mathews, was constantly bashing Bush & Cheney

The most sensible comment on this thread. Yet people here still continue to believe "anonymous sources" cited even though the author is a rabid Repub hater.

Truth is, the MSM is even now trying to divide Cheney and Bush because they know they are a threat to Obama as he starts to look like a goof.

I wish Freepers wouldn't fall for MSM tricks so OFTEN!!

In this case the outrage is probably true.

Rove: Cheney's fight 'overblown'

Cheney Speaks Out on Libby

"..Former Vice President Dick Cheney disagreed publicly with his boss just four times in the eight years they served together. Yesterday, however, on the first day after the official end of the Bush administration, Cheney disagreed with George W. Bush once more.

Cheney told THE WEEKLY STANDARD that his former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, whom he described as a "victim of a serious miscarriage of justice," deserved a presidential pardon.

Asked for his reaction to Bush's decision Cheney said: "Scooter Libby is one of the most capable and honorable men I've ever known. He's been an outstanding public servant throughout his career. He was the victim of a serious miscarriage of justice, and I strongly believe that he deserved a presidential pardon. Obviously, I disagree with President Bush's decision.".."

Rove would minimize any apparent conflict between Bush and Cheney but this issue is a rare public disagreement between the two. Cheney is very likely POed.
