Thomas DeFrank of the New York Daily News writes an account of President Bush's mounting anger and frustration at the direction of his second term.  Two paragraphs in particular deserve more attention. Here's the first:

The vice president remains Bush's most trusted political confidant. Even so, the Daily News has learned Bush has told associates Cheney was overly involved in intelligence issues in the runup to the Iraq war that have been seized on by Bush critics.

I agree with something Josh Marshall said last week, which is when dealing with a White House as notoriously disciplined and tight-lipped as this one, the presumption has to be that the leaks we're reading about these days have some sort of purpose.  To see a direct criticism from Bush about his Vice-President in print suggests to me the administration is indeed preparing for one or more indictments in Cheney's office this week and the attendant implication (perhaps real, perhaps not) that Cheney was aware of or directly involved in the campaign to discredit Joe Wilson.

Quote number two from DeFrank's article is this:

A second senior Bush loyalist disagreed, saying Bush knows "some of these things are self-inflicted," like the Miers nomination, where Bush jettisoned contrary advice from his advisers and appointed his longtime personal lawyer.
