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.
She's the best.

Yes, she is - and she's straight shooter, that's what I like about her.
FANTASTIC IDEA!!!
I never really cared much about Crossfire back in it's heyday when it was the only political talk show of it's kind. I was young and disinterested in politics back then. As I grew older, the show's original format changed, and I never really liked it anyway. Besides, their idea of being balanced was to have 4 rabidly left wing moonbats pitted against one faux conservative.
Thanks for the ping - Lybn is AWESOME! I bet ol' Wolfie didn't know what hit him (buahahahahah)
God be with you.
bttt
I lived in Vancouver, and Crossfire at 4pm was about the only time I ever saw a conservative opinion being expressed at all. The hosts were generally lame and/or irritating. Lynne Cheney did a really good job of keeping everyone focused when she sat in the seat on the right.
Good graphic Phil, and very attractive too.
God Bless Lynn Cheney and her wonderful husband and family!
She is a true American and they are a true American family.
BUMP what you said... I love her too!!!!
Hi there Potlatch... I just love this woman. I hope her book sales go through the roof!!!!
I will begin by calling Wolf DISGUSTING, no Class, NO RESPECT DEMONCRAT!!
You can't be serious. What are they going to say? "Don't vote for Lynne Cheney?" Besides, the encounters in the Cheney novels are not explicit. They in no way compare to Webb's writings.
I do too antceecee, sure wish I had seen that interview, lol.
LOL! (...or maybe, COL!) :-(
I'm just waiting for the point when Al-Jazeera buys air time on CNN...
Cheers!
LOL!
Kudos for what? Taking an ass whoopin'?
