2. Yeah, Graham let Cheney have it about the "get off his back" remark

Basically served notice that Congress isn't on Rumsfeld's back, they are doing their constitutional duty. he mentioned it more than once (I think three times all together) - seemed really pissed at mr. cheney.

"...Just SHUT-UP...", Cheney couldn't use that phrase so had to settle for "...get off his back..."

3. These creatures are beyond belief

The bigger the screw-ups the more they crow about their "accomplishments" and "glorious victories"

8. WHAT ELSE CAN HE SAY!!!

If Cheney is critical of Rummy then he looks like an idiot for overlooking the bountiful basket of fuck-ups prior to this one.

He's locked in, he HAS to take the go-for-broke route.

If Cheney's not sweating hard-core then he is one delusional head-case.
