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.
The Cheneys -- both of them -- have been my favorite politicians since the Bush I Administration. This latest interview by Lynne is just running up the score of what was long ago a blowout.
Now there's a REAL woman that ought to be Prez.

The Cheneys want to retire after 2008. I'd say they've certainly earned it!

That's putting it extremely mildly.
Wow! Forget condi! How about shillary vs. Lynne!!!
ANY one have Wolf's eeee mail address? I think a few messages would be in order. ......."Where DID you get the propaganda film?"
Well there's not near enough bitch slapping going on. Too many republicans being way too nice. Time to turn the dogs loose on the whole mess.
This post paid for by the elect Rusty Route committee.
I'm sure Wolf's e-mail account is full by now...lol
You can say that again!
THANK YOU!
Much appreciated!
Okay....I'm going to start calling you Rusty now...lol
> The Cheneys -- both of them -- have been my favorite politicians since the Bush I Administration. <
Yes, they're great people. I love 'em both.
But they do have one serious fault -- they slavishly tune in to the Imus show every day. Wish they'd break that nasty habit!
Exactly! Wolf didn't dare answer that question.
Okay, but I can't call you Cherry. I just can't :)
No, Wolfie Boy was definitely gonna be in a Klinton "don't recall" frame of mind for that one. Lynn really shocked him by taking him to task on this stuff. It was a beautiful thing to watch!
I think she would be a hell of an '08 candidate. The Vice President would still be in the Whitehouse. That would drive dims nuts!!!
