Are Shrub and Uncle Dick feuding?
Maybe it is all starting to unravel.

Fun with Dick and George: The biggest story of 2005 is hiding in plain sight

No one in the mainstream media seems to be working on this, but the big story -- the one that could dramatically change the course of the next three years -- is right under their collective noses.

Dick Cheney and George W. Bush don't like each other anymore.

And a war between these two superpowers could be the political version of MAD: Mutually assured destruction. But this time, the fallout could make America better in the long-run.

Or not.

What hard, inside information do we have? None. The evidence is circumstantial, but it is getting stronger by the day. And you don't need the National Weather Service to know which way the wind's blowin'.

Sometime this summer, the vice president all but disappeared off the face of the earth. This time, not to his undisclosed location, but mainly to his retreat in Wyomng. You may recall that even when Hurricane Katrina caused the biggest crisis in Washington since the start of the invasion of Iraq, Cheney was not seen for days.

At first, there was just speculation. Earlier in September, Nora Ephron wondered aloud on the Huffington Post why Cheney had been absent from the initial days of the Katrina fiasco. She speculated there was lingering resentment from the incident in May of this year when a private plane strayed too close to the White House: Cheney was rushed to a bunker while a bicycling Bush wasn't informed, even though his wife was in the White House at the time, Ephron compared Cheney to "the dog that did not bark" and wrote:

1. Not sure ...
Edited on Tue Oct-11-05 02:51 PM by Drifter
but AWOL and pickles sure didn't look too happy together.

I saw video of them walking together, and their presentation seemed very cold and fake.

No doubt that the drinking story is true. The question remains, "Who's he fucking".

I think shrubs world is literally collapsing around him. I think it would be funny if she left him and joined the Democratic party (only to be rejected).

Cheers

2. The speculation on Hardball last night was just that...
They think there is a huge split in the WH. The two part Hardball segment is very interesting and considering this is coming from more than one source now, I'd say there is.

You can download both parts here:

3. Maybe he's upset that Dick made more money than he did.

7. Cheney was not "at his retreat in Wyoming"
...or, if he was, it was just a matter of convenience. He was up in Alberta cutting deals on the multi-billion dollar oil sands. That said, I think you're on to something re: the feud. Plus it appears that Cheney is a soon to be convicted felon.
