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.
Kick his sorry ass, Lynn.
Yeah... I wish I could have seen it also... This lady knows how to kick butt and take names! (and she is truly a LADY while doing so).
Webb is making a mountain out of a molehill over NOTHING.
Webb's style of writing it undeniable. Cheney's has yet to be cited. Why? Because none of it is true? Probably.
May Jesus give you strength and comfort--and welcome you into His arms!
You said it!
What a man Wolf is - beaten to a pulp by a grandmother!
As I said elsewhere: Wolf got Blitzed!
Yes, she does it with finesse!!
I saw it, and Mrs. Cheney was amazing! I clapped at the end, too...although my dog looked at me like I was nuts.
Thank you Blessed....
My only response can be:
Thank God that we have such a wonderful person like Lynn Cheney to sing the praises of this wonderful unique country. To reiterate: God Bless America!!!!
... and God does bless us. People such as Lynn garner blessings to a people who are dedicated to freedom, justice and yes, peace... peace through strength... peace through defense of our values, our way of life, our families, our future.... may God bless her and her loved ones all the days of her life!
My sweet doggy looks at me that way every day...or maybe he just wants a treat!!! Ya... think?
I just love your tagline... tee hee!!!
I hear that a lot! But my house is neat, lol. It would be neater if the computer broke - if I weren't having a breakdown too!!
Wolfe would look good hanging from a Lamppost in a Blizzard.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Thanks for the loan. We're happy to claim them, too!
WOLF: We got the film, look...
Mrs. Cheney knows, as CNN has admitted, they got the tape from terrorists. It doesn't pass the giggle test to say it's not propaganda.
If Dow Chemical sent a video, would it be shown as news? Philip Morris?
I think the difference between Webb's book and Cheney's is like the difference between a Harlequin Romance and a Hustler. Not comparable at all.
Either one alone is more than sufficient.
The difference is like the difference between Soap Operas and Debbie Does Dallas.
