Reply #22: Apparently Cheney

[H2O Man]

did not call Bush until Monday. This has not gone over well with some of Bush's advisors who are concerned about the toll that Cheney is beginning to take on the administration's popularity and reputation. Coming at the same time as the media has focused attention on what every DUer has known for years -- that Cheney directed the WHIG's attack on Wilson and Plame -- there is a small but growing number of republicans who are quietly suggesting, behind the scenes, that Cheney may be more harmful to the administration and party than he is beneficial. The question being asked is would it be better for Cheney to bow out soon, for health purposes, rather than face a growing scandal while in office?
