The Shot Heard Round the World (Newsweeks new hit piece)

Newsweek ^ | Feb. 27, 2006 | Isikoff & Clift. Haha

The Shot Heard Round the World. He peppered a man in the face, but didn't tell his boss. Inside Dick Cheney's dark, secretive mind-set—and the forces that made it that way.

[roostercogburn]

This is crap. Boggles my mind how they think they will increase their magazines readership by publishing opinion pieces like this as real news. I really want to find the piece they have listed on the cover. "What hunters say". Dark secretive mind.

[roostercogburn]

Why didn't they write a story to explore the dark, perverted mind of Bill Clinton?

The shooting was just Dick's first shot at tort reform.

Let them overplay this. To any dispassionate observer they come out looking like the fools they are.

[Williams]

But Hilary Clinton and other top democrats echoed this, in fact they led the charge. See any top republicans blowing them away? Rhetorically, I mean.

[Echo Talon]

This story is still around?

[USS Alaska]

And they wonder why their circulation is down, and they are firing employees. This story will boost profits. s/off

[socialismisinsidious]

"Dick Cheney has never been your normal politician. He has never seemed as eager to please, as needy for votes and approval and headlines as, say, Bill Clinton."


and this is a bad thing? yes, to the loony left it is.

Consider the source ... no bias here!

Alan Simpson addressed this subject perfectly on FoxNews this morning........

Simpson:. "All you get is "controversy, crap and confusion" from the media."

Don't miss Simpson on this.

C'mon. This isn't a bad article and does not necessarily reflect poorly on VP Cheney. I thought it presented Cheney's personality and leadership style quite accurately. And it did bring up a very interesting point: why did he not talk to President Bush (his BOSS, for cryin' out loud) for 36 hours? At face value that raises a red flag to me. Something is wrong between them.

I'm old enough to remember when Newsweek was a respected publication, and not another National Enquirer. I guess when your target audience becomes those that read at the 7th grade level...that is what you become.

C'mon. This isn't a bad article and does not necessarily reflect poorly on VP Cheney. I thought it presented Cheney's personality and leadership style quite accurately.

So, you think a description of a "dark, secretive mind" is accurate and is a fair and somewhat positive description?

U know....I think you're right! Between this and the Alito hearings...I have a few liberal friends that are "just starting to see the light"

Evan Thomas and his cast of thousands* are gunning for a Bulwer-Lytton.

* Michael Isikoff, Daniel Klaidman, Richard Wolffe, Holly Bailey, Mark Hosenball, Eleanor Clift, Carol Rust. Why so many to write half a dozen pages?

[roostercogburn]

The article is crap. It is written from the viewpoint that Cheney is always wrong. That he is too conservative.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Newsweek's idea of saving a tree. Beat a dead horse into pulp, then make paper out of it. Just doing their part to Save the Planet...

[claudiustg]

It's not just this story. They've got a whole matrix of anti-Cheney stories out there, all with this "Heart of Darkness" ring to them. What a bunch of shameless ninnies!

[yoe]

Why didn't they write a story to explore the dark, perverted mind of Bill Clinton?

How about Hillary------Among her recent quotes:

"I predict this administration will go down in history as one of the worst that has ever governed our country."

"When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, [it's] like a plantation. And you know what I'm talking about."

"Contrary to … Franklin Roosevelt, who had nothing to fear but fear itself, this [GOP] crowd is all: '[What] we got is fear, and we're going to keep playing the fear card.' "

[Grandma Pam]

Looks like Newsweek decided not to spike this Isikoff article like they did with the Clinton-Lewinsky news.

Let them continue to beat this dead horse. It's just further proof of how far they are removed from reality.
