White House Apparently Afraid of Cheney
When Cheney shot his fellow hunter in Texas last week, the White House deferred to him on telling the public.
The Washington Post points out:
Cheney has everybody running scared -- afraid to cross him.
And they better be careful. Cheney's got a gun, and he ain't afraid to use it.
The Washington Post points out:
The White House typically releases information immediately on incidents involving the president's personal life, such as bike-riding accidents, to avoid the appearance of covering up embarrassments. It is highly unusual, if not unprecedented, for the White House to allow a private citizen serve as its de facto spokesman.
But current and former aides said the White House rarely imposes its practices, especially on press matters, on Cheney. The vice president's office often operates autonomously in a manner that many top White House officials are reluctant to challenge.

Maybe General Hayden lets Cheney take a peek at domestic NSA intercepts but he doesn't let Bush take a peek!
Even the Watergate era didn't feel this weird.
