GOP war brewing: Rove, Cheney furious at Republican House members who met with Bush, then blabbed about it

Seems Dick and Karl are livid. The hysterical thing is that the anger is being vented at their fellow Republicans. They are losing control.

Rove's anger popped up in today's Washington Post:

White House political adviser Karl Rove, furious that Republican moderates had divulged a confrontational meeting they had on Tuesday with Bush on the war, started yesterday with an angry conversation with the meeting's organizer, Rep. Mark Steven Kirk (R-Ill.), according to several GOP lawmakers. Dan Meyer, the White House's chief lobbyist, called the other participants to express the administration's unhappiness.
Cheney's was broadcast on the GOP channel and picked up by the NY Times:
Some White House officials privately expressed displeasure Thursday that the concerns the Republican moderates raised with the president became public. Vice President Dick Cheney did not mince words in an interview with the Fox News Channel. “We didn’t get elected to be popular,” Mr. Cheney said. “We didn’t get elected to worry just about the fate of the Republican Party.”
GOP civil wars. This is going to be fun to watch.
