Dick Comes Clean. . .If Not Out
On the eve of the RNC in NYC Dick Cheney made a public split with TeamBush party line by saying that he felt gay marriage was an issue best left to states and personally disavowing W's Gay Marriage Amendment (which was this summer's red meat thrown to the True Believers). Dan Froomkin's White House Briefing article gives a nice recap of the story as well as takes on it from various perspectives. Too early to tell what the plan was by this admission, but a few nice theories are bandied about by the punditry.
More Cheney fun follows in Froomkin's recap, talking about the controversy swirling around 'Scooter' Libby's role in the fast-coming-to-a-conclusion Valerie Plame affair. The 'Scoot-man' is Cheney's Chief of Staff and longtime general right-hand man. It's hard to believe he engaged in any kind of coordinated effort to out CIA Operative Plame without Cheney's knowledge, let alone approval.
