Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, took on CNN Friday evening during an interview with anchorman Wolf Blitzer.
Transcript:
CHENEY: You made a point last night of a man who had a bookstore in london where radical islamists gathered. Who was in afghanistan when the taliban were there. Who went to pakistan. You know, i think that you might be a little careful before you declare this as a person with clean hands.
WOLF: You are receiving to the cnn "broken government" special. This is the one john king reported on last night.
CHENEY: Right there, wolf. Broken government. What kind of stance is that? Here we are. We are a country where we have been mightily challenged over the past six years. We've been through 9/11, we've been through katrina. The president and the vice president inherited oo recession. We are in a country where the economy is healthy. That's not broken. This government has acted very well. We have tax cuts responsible for the healthy economy. We are a country that was attacked five years ago. We haven't been attacked since. What this government has done is effective. That's not broken government. So, you know, i shouldn't let media bias surprise me, but i worked at cnn once. I watched a program last night.
WOLF: You worked in cross fire.
CHENEY: And i was troubled.
WOLF: All right. Well that was probably the purpose, to get people to think. To get people to discuss these issues. Because --
CHENEY: well, all right. Wolf, i'm here to talk about my book. But if you want to talk about distortion --
WOLF: we'll talk about your book.
CHENEY: Right, but what is cnn doing? Running terrorist tape of terrorists shooting americans. I mean, i thought duncan hunter asked you a very good question, and you didn't answer it. Do you want us to win?
WOLF: The answer of course is we want the united states to win. We are americans. There's no doubt about that.
CHENEY: Then why are you running terrorist propaganda?
WOLF: Well all do respect, this is not terrorist propaganda.
CHENEY: Oh, wolf.
WOLF: This is reporting the news. Which is what we do, we are not partisan.
CHENEY: Where did you get the film?
WOLF: We got the film, look, this is an issue that has been widely discussed. This is an issue we reported on extensively. We make no apology ies for showing that. That was a very carefully-considered decision why we did that. And i think, i think --
CHENEY: well i think it's shocking.
WOLF: If you are a serious journalist, you want to report the news. Sometimes the news is good, sometimes the news isn't so good.
CHENEY: But wolf, there's a difference between news and terrorist propaganda.
hell yes he knows ass parts are missing thanks to Lynn and ran to Lou to get his wounds licked
I hope Cavuto, Gibson and Britt cover it too.
Wolf is no match for Mrs. Cheney.
Just read post #3. Those SOB's. CNN should not be permitted to be anywhere near US troops.
CNN still going after Cheney after she is no longer there to defend herself.
What a pompous strutting little pug.
Fantastic post, Egon! This is a PERFECT illustration of the drive-by media's BIAS. For them, "partisan" means DBM v. GWB. What's bad for America is good for the DBM.
Mrs Cheney could whup Chuck Norris
? oh hell, am I banned again ?
See the link in post 42..
Yes, I did, and the doctor watched too, thanks to you for the reminder!
"truth to power" in libspeak means the right to cheap shot Conservatives and throw softballs to Liberals.
I saw BOR on her show. You see the plant who kept on getting to ask questions of him. I wonder if he is a reporter from somewhere???
LOL! I love Lynne Cheney. She is a brilliant woman who isn't afraid to speak her mind. I can see why she and Dick Cheney are married, they seem to be alike in their personalities.
When I grow up I wanna be like her!
and the DU response to this...

Journalists must appear to be more educated and more worldly than the rest of us or else how can their pronouncements be considered valid by the unwashed masses. Somehow being wiser and more sophisticated includes hating your own country. It shows how they are able to see gray areas that are so important to liberals.
They don't believe this country can ever lose, therefore they will never have to pay a price for their perfidy.
The rest of us are a lot smarter than the average journalist. We know that freedom is not free, and it must be fought for and cherished or it will be lost. Journalists are idealists who will never grow up mostly because they live in a safe little world provided by the grown ups.
Love to see that picture staring down from billboards all across America.
Actually, they both are from Casper Wyoming.
We loaned them to Texas for a while, so you are justly proud.
Tonights latest 'non partisan' report: "where the Right Went Wrong"
It will be a cold day in hell before CNN invites her back. We need more of this.
We Texans taught em how to shoot and cook. They's better cooks.
