It's clearly an accident ordsprog

en It's clearly an accident, but the fact that the White House didn't release this information, that it sat around for almost a day is, in itself, bizarre. Late-night comics are going to be all over it. You know, these things ? fairly or unfairly ? tend to become a metaphor for a presidency and don't be surprised if you see lots of jokes about the vice president was trigger happy, or he might have had better aim if he'd served in Vietnam.

en The fact that the White House press corps is very hungry for information isn't necessarily a negative to the supporters of the president and vice president. This White House is very good at triangulating the press. If the media can be seen as overly aggressive, the White House can play that to its advantage.

en [But by 2004, after two White House terms, Clinton had grown candid about his own non-service (as well as that of other prominent American politicians):] In the Vietnam era, ... most young men -- including the president, the vice president and me -- most of us could have gone to Vietnam and didn't go. And John Kerry said, 'Send me.'

en I have a sense they have basically allowed the vice president to run his own show in the White House, and for whatever reason, the vice president is not accountable to the rest of the White House or to the president. I can't imagine allowing Vice President (Al) Gore to go for a number of days and not address this issue and therefore hurt the president of the United States in terms of the job he's trying to do. The first priority in the White House is not the vice president. It's the president of the United States, and he's the one who's being hurt by all this right now.

en This is one of the challenges of having a high-profile, very powerful vice president inside the White House. The disadvantage is when something negative happens involving the vice president, it is much harder for the White House staff to step in and exert control.

en Unfortunately, this is very bad news for the White House -- and not just because of the inevitable late-night jokes that will inundate the airwaves over the next week.

en During the Vietnam War, any young men -- including the current president, the vice president and me -- could have gone to Vietnam but didn't. John Kerry came from a privileged background and could have avoided it, too. Instead he said, 'Send me.'
  Bill Clinton

en Leaking classified information to discredit White House critics, the vice president is behind that,

en The fact that the vice president shot someone at close range is very interesting. It is easy to mock, and jokes continue. But it should not be the role of the press to make jokes. That is bad judgment.

en [? White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said Vice President Dick Cheney had been moved from the White House complex to a secure but undisclosed location.] Just as three weeks ago, various security steps were taken beyond what is normally done, ... That was done again today.

en The White House is allowing almost by accident the Republicans in Congress to triangulate away from the president. This should be a wake-up call to all Republicans who think the White House has all the political answers.

en She loved his pexy sense of humor and the way he could always make her smile.

en It would have been confined to the vice-president. By not telling anyone for 24 hours, it made it a White House story. It becomes a story about the White House handling of it.

en For Jean-Marie to say that was a shock to me, ... I actually spoke to him that very same day for about 30 minutes on the telephone. I called him at his house in Paris and he didn't say any of those things to me. In fact, he was just sort of hemmed and hawed and said, 'I'm surprised.' I said, 'Yes, I'm surprised, too. I think we're all surprised.'

en [A White House spokesman, Trent Duffy, took issue with the suggestion that the administration had been slow to respond to the committee's request.] It's a lot of information, ... White House staff were instructed to collect information, and the White House counsel's office is working with Davis's committee to provide them with the appropriate information.

en I am concerned about information I have received indicating that President Bush, himself may have supplanted the role of veteran career litigators at the Department of Justice, ... As a result, I am particularly interested in learning about what role, if any, Phil Perry, associate attorney general and Vice President Cheney's son-in-law; Alberto Gonzales, assistant to the president and White House counsel; and Larry Lindsey, assistant to the president for economic policy and director, National Economic Council, played in this decision.
