AKMA's Random Thoughts

Gender Politics

On Morning Edition, Nina Totenberg reported about recent developments in the White House/Plame scandal; evidently the President now has hired outside counsel. When the anchor (who would have been Bob Edwards, if he hadn’t been forced out earlier in the year) asked Totenberg whether Vice President Cheney also had hired a lawyer, she replied, “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”

Margaret says, “So, Bush is the goose, and Cheney is the gander?”

(I was mostly just surprised to hear Totenberg say “what’s good for the goose” rather than “what’s sauce for the goose” — but maybe I mis-heard her.)

Forgive the commonplace observation, but is this another way of saying that Bush is Cheney's bee-atch?
