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.
amended tagline
Broken Media has an interesting and accurate acronym.
Lynn is my pick for the next Veep.
No, Lou. We are watching a punk (you) popping off. You know that you don't have the balls to say that to the Lynn Cheney's face.
To answer the GI:
It's all about a World market. Sure, they dislike America, but their true motivation is money and the prestige of being tuined in to airports, hotels and homes around the globe. In that case, they must play to an international audience that HATES America.
Such bitter irony in that the very Capitalist system they attack, is the very basis for thier own success and wealth. Just like the Hollywood pinkos - spouting Leftist drivel while laughing all the way to the bank.
Lynn Cheney is everything Hillary is supposed to be. Only Cheney IS actually intelligent, quick, and dignified. I would love to see Hillary have to debate Cheney.
May God and Peace be with you!
You have Freepmail. God bless you.
I sent Herr Blitzer a very simple message on his not-so-easy-to-find message generator:
"Do you want America to win?"
(Be honest.)
You can do the same by cutting/pasting this:

Problem is, the left-wing media usually doesn't ALLOW strong-willed, principled, tough-minded, sharp conservatives on. They occasionally make a mistake and let someone like Mrs. Cheney on.
They'd MUCH rather have mush-mouthed, wimpy, wishy-washy, poll-chasing, media-whore RINOs on like mccain, giuliani, chafee, dewine, hagel, scarborough, lugar, and their ilk.
You keep the faith too.
Just heard the tape of Wolfie ...within approx. 45 seconds, saying "with all due respect this is not terrorist propaganda"....and "we said this is propaganda."
They are juvenile, lying FPOS. who can't keep up with their lies and distortions.
I don't think CNN is going to be inviting her back anytime soon. I'm proud of her...that's the classiest show of whoop-ass that I've ever seen. ~Pray
Saw the video----thank you, Mrs. Cheney! Fine job.
Saw the video----thank you, Mrs. Cheney! Fine job.
