Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
Big loser in this whole affair? Bush? Nope, it took spotlight off his failures. Cheney? No one really cares about him, he'll nver run for office again. Nope, the big loser was the White House press corps, who looked like a bunch of whiny little self-important twerps, no doubt an accurate depiction but one they don't seem to appreciate.
Of course the networks couldn't care less about what their few remaining viewers think and have long demonstrated their contempt for their viewers by continuing to shove annoying assholes like Dan Rather and Bryant Gumble in our faces. Those guys now seem positively attractive, compared to the likes of the pathologically self-important David Gregory or the reptilian Terry Moran.
I give Cheney credit for understanding that the mainstream media are only interesting in trashing the administration, not in rpeorting actual news. Giving an exclusive to Fox and its anchor Brit Hume was a smart move. Personally, I wish Bush would stonewall the network jerks in his news conferences and treat them like that pathetic Helen Thomas.
man i'll bet you got a stash of guns and pistols that knock your eyes out, am i right?
