Maybe Rahm Emanuel knows something about Hackett we don't. Or else, maybe this story isn't over. Regardless, if Hackett throws away a bright political career over this, he's immature and foolish. He may not be a team player but at least he has to concede that he's a political beginner and maybe he needs some seasoning before he's ready for the senate. Just a thought. Hackett could waltz into the congress, so what's stopping him? Just pride? That's a character flaw.

The week that was at the White House (David Gregory "blogs" his side of story) MSNBC ^ \| 2/17/06 \| David Gregory It's been a rough and tumble week in the White House press room over the Cheney hunting story. Many viewers have written me with praise and plenty of criticism about my questioning of press secretary Scott McClellan. Let me say at the outset that I was wrong to lose my temper at Scott McClellan. I've worked well with Scott since we first met during the 2000 campaign. Monday, he suggested my aggressive questioning about the disclosure of the hunting accident was a stunt for the cameras. He said this during a morning OFF CAMERA briefing, which undercut his point. Furthermore, I considered it a cheap shot. I said, "Don't be a jerk to me personally, just answer the question." I regret saying that because it's never appropriate to speak that way and because it created a distraction from the issues at hand. Putting that aside, I do not apologize for asking tough questions about this story. I'm in the business of getting information -- as much of it as possible....I have not made any judgments about the facts of this story as it pertains to what happened on the Armstrong ranch....Mr. Cheney, in my view, acted as if he had something to hide. Yet the debate playing out in the blogosphere, cable airwaves and on talk radio pits the Vice President against an allegedly left-wing, overly cynical, prissy White House press corps in a tizzy because it wasn't the first to know and angry because it hates the President and Vice President anyway. This is nonsense....Have you Googled transcripts from the Clinton administration at the height of the Lewinsky scandal? (Excerpt) Read more at dailynightly.msnbc.com ...
