Was it really Cheney who sent Gonzo and Andrew Card to Ashcroft's hospital bedside? As I posted earlier, I assumed he was simply admitting that he did when he answered Larry King's question by saying he couldn't remember if it was him. Well, of course that's utter bullshit. That's not something one would forget.
But, there's this article from Dan Froomkin asking another question...Why on earth would Cheney be sending two of the president's staff (Gonzo was counsel a the time) anywhere? They don't work for the V.P. They work for the president.
I think that's a good question. And the answer must be that either Dick really is running things, and even the president's staff answers to Dick, or Dick is covering for Bush by leading people to think that maybe he (Dick) did send them, because if he denies it, that leaves only Bush to have sent them. Which is more likely? I think the first, and I think that Dick probably tells Bush what he's going to do without having to worry that Bush will disagree with whatever he says. I could be wrong. But the relationship really strikes me as one of the evil vizier and the easily-led king who's not quite smart enough and too self-absorbed to mind what's being done around him.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
