President Bush wasn't aware of the sale of six U.S. ports to an Arab company until after federal approval was granted and congressional opposition erupted over the deal, his spokesman said today.

There's been a lot of media attention paid to Cheney's shooting accident, and I think the Democrats have an opportunity to weave this event in with the more important scandals facing Cheney.

The particular angle that I'm thinking of involves the revelation of Cheney's involvement in the Plame scandal last week.  I think it would be quite helpful if, when asked to comment on the Cheney shooting, Democrats could mention that they're not terribly surprised something like this would happen, considering that the stress Cheney is under due to his involvement in the Plame scandal.

(The part that makes this worth a diary (I hope) comes after the fold)
