Cheney takes press relations lessons from Karzai.
During a press availability with Afghan President Hamid Karzai today, Vice President Cheney refused to take more questions from the press. Karzai had to chastise Cheney to never “disappoint the press“:
KARZAI: Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, very nice of you. Any more questions?
CHENEY: No, I’m fine.
Q Oh.
KARZAI: You’re disappointed? One more question. Don’t disappoint the press ever.
CHENEY: Don’t disappoint the press ever. (Laughter.)
KARZAI: Please, ma’am.
CHENEY: I can tell I should have begun my career with your guidance, Mr. President. (Laughter.)

Obama demands probe over passport breach
Barack Obama’s campaign tonight is demanding a full investigation of reports that his passport files at the State Department were viewed without authorization.
“This is an outrageous breach of security and privacy, even from an Administration that has shown little regard for either over the last eight years. Our government’s duty is to protect the private information of the American people, not use it for political purposes. This is a serious matter that merits a complete investigation, and we demand to know who looked at Senator Obama’s passport file, for what purpose, and why it took so long for them to reveal this security breach,” Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement.
NBC News is reporting that several low-level State Department employees have been fired over the January incident, and the department is conducting an internal investigation.
