1. He has never done his own dirty work. He always uses others.

Does he order bad acts to be done? sure, but I doubt that he did it. Remember, this is a boy-king who loves the trappings of office more than anything else, except himself. Recall how he reacted to reporters who forgot to call him Mr. President?

6. What is going to be interesting is seeing if Cheney will throw Bush under

the bus. I don't see Cheney allowing himself to be sacrificed. Cheney is no Libby.
