"There's a lack of trust that the president has in Cheney and it's connected with Iraq," a source said.
what a coincidence... I don't trust the Bush regime with anything anymore, and thats connected with Iraq too.
Wasn't it Nixon who said of Barbara Bush, "She really knows how to hate"? Kind of makes a person wonder what she has in store for old Dick and
CO. We are so lucky to be living in such times you can't pay for
entertainment like this.
Barbara Bush is allegedly TICKED off at Dick Cheney, Karl
Rove, Andy Card, nearly all of them -- except Karen Hughes -- for how
her boy is faring in the hearts and minds of Americans.
The matriarch of the Bush clan is colder than North Pole ice right
now to those around her son who she thinks have undermined him. I'll
tell who my sources are if Patrick Fitzgerald gives a call and makes me
-- but the sources are very close to Poppa Bush (41), who has been
traveling a bit with some of his old entourage, including Brent
Scowcroft and others of the first Bush regime.
The
role of Vice President Dick Cheney as the administration's point man in
security policy appears over, according to administration sources.
Over
the last two months Mr. Cheney has been granted decreasing access to
the Oval Office, the sources said on the condition of anonymity. The
two men still meet, but the close staff work between the president and
vice president has ended.
"Cheney's
influence has waned not only because of bad chemistry, but because the
White House no longer formulates policy," another source said.
"There's
nothing to input into. Cheney is smart and knowledgeable, but he as
well as Bush are ducking all the time to avoid the bullets.
Cheney may be tougher to dump than Don Regan, but then again,
Barbara Bush is one of those wonders of nature (we hear) who knows no
limits and can easily surge beyond category 5 hurricane winds.
Should be interesting to watch the role of the First Mother in the
coming couple of months. Watch for a lot to change right after the
State of the Union address.
Cheney and Chimpy's mom in a cage match -- until only one of them walks out. Any bets on who would win?
