WHAT CHENEY SCANDAL?

Like Mickey Kaus, I waded through the Jeff Gerth-Dick Cheney investigation, Rainesed on page one. Like Mickey, I can’t for the life of me see a single problem with Cheney’s conduct, as described breathlessly by Gerth. Except, as usual, with the Times’ fast-evaporating journalistic credibility. One small thought: if they can get the word asbestos in the same sentence as Cheney, they might milk this as successfully as the non-story about W and arsenic. At this point, the Times is simply throwing all they’ve got.
