Breaking Up is Hard to Do

Last month (god, has it been that long that I've been doing this!), I cited a post by Philadelphia Daily News Blogger Attytood which said that Bush/Cheney relationship might be on the rocks, see: Could It Be?

The story is now moving into the news media (sort of, it is the NY Daily News after all), with this article, "Dubya-Cheney ties frayed by scandal", reporting "'The relationship is not what it was,' a presidential counselor said."

Is a divorce in the offing? Or is this a little leaking by the White House in advance of an expected indictment, so as to distance the President from the anticipated fallout?
