Throwing Cheney under the bus

Couple this story with those that I linked in the last post, and it becomes apparent that the strategy appears to be to throw Cheney under the bus on this one.

WASHINGTON - President Bush declassified sensitive intelligence in 2003 and authorized its public disclosure to rebut Iraq war critics, but he did not specifically direct that Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, be the one to disseminate the information, an attorney knowledgeable about the case said Saturday.

Bush merely instructed Cheney to "get it out" and left the details to him,

I think Dick may be developing health problems soon. But on the other hand, his popularity isn't really going to get any lower.
