nasty place to work
I'm with you on Cheney's reaction, Joan. It was really quite striking. I expect everyone in the White House knows that this is cover-your-butt time, and devil-take-the-hindmost.
That White House has never been a very nice place to work...and right about now it must be hell-on-wheels.
I ask everyone: imagine Gonzalez on the Supreme Court. There was a very good chance of him ending up there. Not now, of course. But imagine it. He'd make Clarence Thomas look like Oliver Wendell Holmes...
I also suspect things have not hit rock-bottom for the boys and girls in the West Wing yet. More congressional oversight will likely turn up some very smelly stuff. It's just a matter of time.
I also happen to think Cheney is a genuinely evil human being..and I don't use that word lightly. He's a dangerous, vengeful geek, and I just hope his fangs get pulled before he does something really crazy..
