BTW, I thought Larry King on the whole did a very good interview. It was one of the first interviews of the VP in a while where I thought Dick Cheney gave something besides very standard cautious, almost rote, answers (he's a cautious man, and doesn't 'let his hair down' often).
Just for fun, I thought I would list my personal choices of 'best' and 'worst' questions and answers.
Best:
1. The Gitmo Amnesty International question. He let them have it with both barrels, very softly but leaving no question of his contempt for their stupidity.
2. The question about how they dealt with their daughter's homosexuality. I thought he asked the question with sensitivity, and I thought Dick Cheney answered it well. It obviously was not in any depth, but it gave maybe a little insight into their feelings (and Mary's). Also their obvious pride in Mary's book.
3. The John Bolton and the U.N. question. He gave some meat in that answer.
4. The question to Lynn Cheney about 'Do you want to be First Lady?' Great question, but he totally let her off the hook on that one. She never answered it. Also, did anyone else think that Lynne Cheney's little riff about 'We'll see what happens in 2009, who knows what's going to come up, etc.' was leaving the door open ever so slightly? I hope not, because I don't think Dick Cheney wants to be President.
5. The question about talking to the service academies. 'These are very serious people.' You could see Dick Cheney's pride and affinity for the military in that answer.
The Worst:
1. The question about what do you do when you disagree with the President. It's been asked a million times and he always gives the same answer. They're not going to catch him on that one.
2. I thought he allowed them to give too much of a stock answer on public life versus private life. I wonder if he could have gotten something more out of them if he had probed a little.
