He often did that through intermediaries. But when he needed to take things into his own hands, "Meet the Press" was "best" because, while there might be a tough prepared question or two, then-host Tim Russert could be counted on to follow up obsequiously or not at all, without in any way knocking the veep off his talking points. Cheney is now on a major PR push, leading the critique of the Senate Intelligence Committee torture report, which was released Tuesday. |
