Nothing Left To Lose

by digby

Everybody’s speculating about whether this reported ill feeling between Cheney and Bush over Scooter’s non-pardon will result in some sort of permanent falling out. They seem to think that the danger is that one or the other will let fly in their memoirs.

But I don’t think that’s the real issue. Doesn’t it seem more likely that the danger lies between Cheney and Scooter? If Cheney was this frantic, one supposes that he may have been trying to fulfill a “promise” he made to the loyal soldier who took all the heat and destroyed his career for him. Now that Scooter has nothing to lose, he may very well decide that he needs to “set the record straight” with a juicy book deal, don’t you think?
