Biden said something so interesting today on MTP. Talking about Iran and the negotiations about to commence, Biden looked at Russert and said something like: "I have heard,-[to Russert] but your sources are better, much better - that Rice and Cheney had a knock-down, drag-out fight and Rice won." Russert did not say a word.
I find that interesting on so many levels. A quick slap at Russert for hobnobbing with the right. A non-verbal confirmation by Russert of the substance of the line. A confirmation of a real fight between Cheney and Rice, which is probably not much more than "bomb them now" and "bomb them later", but at least there was a fight. This is a crack in the inseparable dear leader's group and the one more moderate won. See anything else? Like where was Rummy during all this, which says Cheney has been running the war.
Is Cheney's sway over Bush waining a bit? I hope. Thoughts?
