Dicking Around
Vice Grip
Josh Marshall has written an excellent article about the incompetence of Dick Cheney. Marshall points out that Cheney has been behind almost every misstep the White House has made. It isn't simply that Cheney supports bad policies, but that the politics of his policies are bad. The article effectively explodeds the convetional wisdom about Cheney being the brains behind the operation, but the Press Corps is always so hesistant to break from the script. Oh, well, I suppose we'll have to way a few more years before they realize that Karl "Mayberry Machiavelli" Rove is actually running the show.
