Chip Reid defends Henry F. Potter Cheney after Gibbs compares him to Limbaugh: 'Is that the sanctioned tone towards the former Vice President?'


Memo to Reid: Stick to journalism and less to defending Cheney.


Crooks and Liars:


Chip Reid is taking the mantle of the head zombie press pool reporter for CBS. Fresh off his vitriolic, "Democrats also raising their ugly heads, but ahh, on the hill," comment, he now is Dick Cheney's new defender on the Hill.

That's when Chipper Reid saw an opening
for his hackery about Cheney.

Reid: Can I ask you, when you referred to the former Vice President, that was a really hard-hitting, kind of sarcastic response you had. This is a former Vice President of the United States. Is that the attitude -- is that the sanctioned tone toward the former Vice President of the United States from this White House now?
Gibbs: Sometimes I ask forgiveness rather than for permission, Chip. But no, I hope my sarcasm didn't mask the seriousness of the answer with which I addressed Ed -- that for seven-plus years, the very perpetrators that the Vice President says he's concerned about weren't brought to justice.
