Shocking News Story!


This is an actual headline from cnn.com:

"President satisfied with Cheney's account"

Why is this news? Did anyone think Bush was not going to be satisfied with Cheney's account of the hunting accident? Bush is satisfied with everything Cheney -- and Rumsfeld and Condi and Scooter and K-Rove -- does. The article could have been referring to Cheney's conviction on child molestation charges, and the headline still would have read, "President satisfied with Cheney's account." Does it qualify as news when somebody in the Bush administration justifies the actions of somebody else in the Bush administration? And now we have Cheney coming out and declaring that he has the authority to declassify information, which is going to be quite an interesting and convenient defense for lil' Scooter, isn't it?

Let's face it: if the news media were truly objective, the real headline would have read, "Bush, Cheney: What Will These Two Assholes Think of Next?"
