Check out this passage from the Washington Post, Cheney's Response a Concern to GOP
A testament to his power is the deference Bush showed Cheney in the handling of last weekend's shooting episode. White House aides said Bush has not pressured Cheney to disclose more details about the shooting or to apologize.
One person close to both men said that Bush is the only person in the White House who could persuade Cheney to change strategy and that even high-level White House aides are reluctant to take on the vice president's office. That left White House press secretary Scott McClellan to be battered by reporters on national television.
And this passage from the NYTimes article Handling of Mishap Creates Strain in the White House
Several White House officials said no one among the White House staff, including the chief of staff, Andrew H. Card Jr., felt empowered to dictate how news of the accident would be handled.
Really? Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure the office of the Vice Presidency doesn't come with a large helping of noblesse oblige.
Another failing of little georgie the chimperor. He gave an evil old fuck like Cheney so much power that not even the office of the president can control him. Worst. President. Ever.

The Little Emperor didn't give, so much as Darth took. He took the VP job after all, when he was supposed to be finding one for Li'l Boots.
I doubt Fredo has ever even considered trying to stand up to Cheney. Staying in his bubble and just avoiding knowing anything bad that Darth might be up to would be more his style.
And then when something like this penetrates the bubble, just tell the servants to make it go away.
