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 should be the one to run against Hillary.
Yeah...and Blister didn't want to reiterate that disgusting admission.
She was so good at putting Wolf on the defensive, in the end she was questioning him instead of vis-versa... I don't think he knows what hit him.
Just in case............Two thumbs up, Lynne, if you happen to read this thread.
"This is reporting the news."
Whose news, CNN?
Drudge has a link to the video up on his page. CHeck it out. I sent a nasty note to the wolfie-boy telling him....well....I think you can figure it out! :-)
Thank you...
I think she and Dick Cheney are both a class act. We're lucky to have them!
I'm proud to claim them as fellow Texans!
Wow. She kicked his ass.
"I have a funny feeling she's a Freeper as well. I heard her in the past say that she visits FreeRepublic and I"ll bet she's on here posting occassionaly also."
Well then, HI!!!!!!
I wish Lynn Cheney would run against Hillary in 2008, or at least be available for VP, and I am quite serious. This is a no-nonsense lady to be reckoned with!
Fantastic! Love Mrs. Cheney. Hope this plays all over the drive-by-media.
Ping!
There's doubt, Wolf, there's doubt.
