Taking Aim at Cheney

Anyone who's read my blog has heard my favorite cliche: better late than never. Thanks to the Cheney lawyer shoot I can honestly say it's not better to be late on something like this. But it's brought out a side of the Fourth Estate that has been missing for too long.

Just imagine if the press corps had shown the same tenacity, incredulity and aggressive questioning about Iraq. Imagine.

This story has legs, I told my mom yesterday. And even if it doesn't, I hope the White House press corp keeps it up and refuses to be spoon fed on any issue. Should be an interesting three years.

Some of the best columns today ran in the SF Chronicle, the San Antonio Express News...even London's Globe and Mail ran a piece. The end quote from James Brady is priceless.
