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.
Lynne Cheney - 08 Presidential Candidate?
Kudos to Lynn Cheney!
BREAKDOWN!!!
I think I have one of those about once a day!!! LOL!!!
; ~ )
from your sweet lips to God's sweet ears m'dear!!!!
The question at that point should have been - "so, Wolf, what are you expecting them to think about that's different than what the terrorists want us thinking about?"
Hell Yes. She's an answered prayer.
But let's not got ahead of ourselves...
[Cough - Lynne Cheney in '08]
Why settle for Congress or the Senate? How about the White House. Condi and Lynn!!! Now that would be a ticket I could cheerfully support.
LOL, I'll have to print out your reply to show those who think I worry too much!!
Silly girl.... TRIX are for Kids!!!
Okay... now I'm really losing it....
; )
I am sorry to hear about your illness. But I wish you the Lord's love and strength. All of us humans will meet our individual fates based upon the Lord's plans and wishes. I am convinced of that.
I agree wholeheartedly about our nation's lack of moral compass including Mrs. Cheney's attempt at pandering to the secular immoral left. She disgusts me for having done that but I did not vote for her. I did not vote for Libby and am unaware of his writing. I did not vote for him either.
Hey, how about Lynn being the GOP nominee in '08?
Wolf said it was not propaganda before he said it was propaganda.
I've been out of the loop today
Do you have a link for this?
She is certainly more articulate than Hill and not half as shrill.
Post 42 on this thread..
She really is a great asset.
Yep.
The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.
The Lord lift his face to you and give you shalom.
