The fact that W is following the time-honored tradition of refraining from public criticism of his successor even though Jimmy Carter, bill clinton, and algore regularly ignored it is a testament to W's honor and decency.
I was listening to Davis who filled in for Rush and he said the same thing that a President needs to not criticize but a VP is free to say what they want. Thank God that we have Dick Cheney as our former VP whose is not afraid to speak out.
I was appalled when Carter and Clinton both took potshots at a sitting President — it is not necessary and demeans the office IMHO.
Will be glad to have Cheney keep right on talking.
President Bush is doing the RIGHT thing by keeping silent, and anyone here who argues otherwise, is not.
