Perino Tries To Explain Cheney: Times Of High Drama And Passion

The White House acknowledged today that the tone of the exchanges over the Iraq spending bill was growing more strident as Congress prepared to send President Bush legislation that would call for a withdrawal of troops to begin by Oct. 1 despite his promise to veto it.

"I think that what happens in Washington at times of high drama and passion on both sides of the aisle, and on both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue, that there are times when you're trying to make your substantive point, that the rhetoric can sometimes lead you to say things that you might not otherwise say in a one-on-one conversation," said Dana Perino, the White House spokeswoman.
