Did You Happen to Catch?

The reporters assigned to the Bush/White House beat have had a bit of edge in their voices.

Oh, no, these great paragons of journalistic virtue aren't upset that the president lied about Iraq, once again engaged in stealing an election last November, or is trying to kill what few programs manage to exist for non-wealthy Americans.

No, the press is mad because it's clear the DC fear thing was a stunt the other day. The president wasn't informed of the incident until it was over. Why? Because they already knew it wasn't a big deal by the time they sent Cheney out to his favorite bunker, the First Lady and Ex-Lady (Bush and Reagan) to a different bunker, and sent people running through the streets around Pennsylvania Avenue. Scott McClennan basically admitted to the same when he answered questions about why the president was clueless for so long about the event.

Oh, trust me, don't expect the press to stay mad long. They live the lollipops and nicknames Mr. Bush hands out too much to get on Karl Rove's bad (wait.. they're all bad).. badder side.
