Brit Boy's Moment for the Boss
 |
| “Employees need to be encouraged to make mistakes.” – John Cleese Well, at least the White House and Dick Cheney have a guru. |
The most vivid example is the long delay
in informing the country that Vice President Cheney had accidentally shot a
man last Saturday while hunting in Texas. For a White House that informs us
about the smallest bumps and scrapes suffered by the president and vice president,
the lag is inexplicable. But let us assume the obvious: It was an attempt to
delay and perhaps suppress embarrassing news. We will never know whether the
vice president's office would have announced the incident at all if the host
of the hunting party, Katharine Armstrong, hadn't made her own decision Sunday
morning to inform her local paper.
An
Arrogance of Power
I just saw on Fox that Brit is finally going to get another moment.
You've got to wonder who's going to be dragging Dick kicking and
screaming into this interview. As we all know, he didn't want to do it. In fact,
Dick didn't even think he needed to do it. It sure wasn't Scott McClellan who
told him to do it.
Wonder if he'll have an Atta in Prague moment,
or go towards the we know Saddam is reconstituting his nuclear nonsense?
“Uh, well (see Cheney with his head lowered a little, head
cocked), I've been hunting for decades and I've never shot anyone… er–I mean,
never had anyone make this kind of mistake. It's really protocol for a hunter
to let his party know where he is. By the way, I bagged a couple of quail too, real good, had them after we drove Harry to Kingsville. … (long pause) I'll be damned if I knew why Harry just came strolling up. By the time I saw him
it was too late,” says Dick, as you see him squeezing his hands together
so hard they're turning pig pick.
Whatever comes out of the interview will be what Dick wants to
offer, because you can bet Brit isn't going to push him anywhere. Bush Boy Brit is no David Gregory.
UPDATE: One of the bimbo bunch over
at Fox just waxed philosophical on Dick Cheney's upcoming interview with Brit.
Where do they get these broads anyway? She informed us that many people want Dick
to do a press conference. Tisk-tisk-tut-tut, we can't have that! Those mean reporters
would actually ask questions in the free and open light of day. Dick can only
be interviewed by Brit in a dark and super secret location. Parts of the interview
will be shown at 11:00/Pacific, with more coming at 3:00/Pacific. Get out the
munchies because this is going to be a thriller high comedy, or at least
it would if a man hadn't been shot, put forth as the person responsible, then
had a heart attack that has him back in ICU.
