How Could They Be So Tone Deaf?
What gets to me more than anything else in this entire Cheney shooting business, is how poorly the WH has handled it. They break protocol, let themselves be bullied by Cheney, thus looking weak and blow it again today by witholding the info that Whittington had had a heart "incident". I know they're arrogant, but I've never seen the WH bumble public information to such a degree. They look plain old incompetent.

3. Their total incompetence is only overshadowed by their
complete indifference.

10. Yeah, but they're usually not
incompetent when it comes to managing the news.

5. They're in full-burn meltdown mode
Everyone even marginally competent is scurrying around shredding documents and deleting e-mails and having long phone calls with their lawyers.

The front-n-center flaks, morons, and lapdogs are trying to function without anyone's hand on the leash.

It's creepy to watch, like an accident site with blood spatters and ambulances...

revoltedly,
Bright

6. They don't care. There is no compassion there - and you cannot
fake compassion.

8. "let themselves be bullied by Cheney"
Ummm excuse me?

They (Karl) probably told Cheney what to do and how to do it after the fact.
