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.
Did you see BOR on Oprah? Do tell....., please.
Top Ten Material. Use this for the campaign. Liberals Are Weak!
Woof Blitzer lied to Lynn Cheney in front of the tv audience. CNN has made no bones about their position that they are NOT an American organization but a "global" news service. Neither Woof nor any other cnn worker bee has shown any sign of caring whether the US wins or even survives. If the moslem scum were to A-bomb Washington cnn parasites like woof would all be crowding to get the coverage assignment, visions of emmies and maybe Pulitzers dancing in their heads.
I for one would love to have the Cheney's over for a barbeque.
Why doesn't anyone ever talk about Lynne Cheney for President? All we hear is the commie Hillary and the disgraceful lightweight schoolmarm Condi Rice. Lynne rocks!
He was awesome! The whole hour was devoted to a discussion of his book, "Culture Warrior." I thought Oprah was quite unusually restrained myself. He was strong and called opposing audience statements and whines out for what they were. Hope you get a chance to see it .. it's worth it. Check oprah.com.
Wolf has definitely got me thinking that CNN is in bed with the Baath Party as well as the DNC.
HAHAHA .. they're sweet .. ;)
IMO, she let her audience do the dirty work --- she doesn't agree with Bill on many issues, if any at all.
That guy was too well prepped. I think he was ACLU or one of their wacko comrades. I loved the black guy who kept defending Fox News and dissing the other networks .. didn't you? LOL.
Hey Lynn! Let me buy you the adult beverage of your choice.
Yeap, that was great. I think the audience might have been a little surprised by his strong defense of Fox News and the Bush Administration.
CHENEY: Oh, wolf.
WHOOOOOHOOOOO!!!! Caught the little boy in a lie and showed her disbelief!
CHENEY: Where did you get the film?
WOLF: We got the film, look...
WHOOOO HOOOOO! He won't answer her! Caught in a cover up!!!
Can she run for President?
What a great gal.
She was phenomenal. She really did pull the mask off of the monster of CNN.
Hooray! Hoory! Hooray!
She nailed them.
And they couldn't wriggle off the hook.
Lynne, if you lurk here, that earns a "Whattagal"!
"And if you put it in context-If you put it in context, that’s what news is. We said it was propaganda. We didn’t distort where we got it. We didn’t distort anything about it. We gave it the context."
Oh God...where to begin?
Lynn rocks...Wolfie sucks.
"we" indeed. Every other sentence of his began with "we"---What Wolfie doncha have an ego at all...been completely vaporized by the Left? Have you been gulped and digested by CNN? You know what happens after digestion Wolfie?
