CHENEY CALLS BLITZER QUESTION ON DAUGHTER'S PREGNANCY 'OUT OF LINE' Wed Jan 24 2007 13:41:22 ET
In an interview taped to air for today's 'Situation Room' on CNN, Vice President Cheney responded sharply to anchor Woilf Blitzer's line of questioning regarding the pregancy of Cheney's lesbian daughter:
Blitzer: Your daughter Mary, she's pregnant. All of us are happy. She's going to have a baby. You're going to have another grandchild. Some of the -- some critics, though, are suggesting, for example, a statement from someone representing Focus on the Family:
"Mary Cheney's pregnancy raises the question of what's best for children. Just because it's possible to conceive a child outside of the relationship of a married mother and father, doesn't mean it's best for the child."
Do you want to respond to that?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: No, I don't.
Blitzer: She's obviously a good daughter --
VICE PRESIDENT: I'm delighted -- I'm delighted I'm about to have a sixth grandchild, Wolf, and obviously think the world of both of my daughters and all of my grandchildren. And I think, frankly, you're out of line with that question.
Blitzer: I think all of us appreciate --
VICE PRESIDENT: I think you're out of -- I think you're out of line with that question.
Blitzer: -- your daughter. We like your daughters. Believe me, I'm very, very sympathetic to Liz and to Mary. I like them both. That was just a question that's come up and it's a responsible, fair question.
VICE PRESIDENT: I just fundamentally disagree with your perspective.
Developing...
I loved the whole interview
Without saying the actual words .. he basicially told wolf to go pound sand *L*
That is your opinion. I think Cheney allowed Blitzer to get the best of him. That is my opinion.
So refreshing when a REAL man speaks.
Well it's obvious you didn't pay attention to the interview
When you can't answer the question, just try to bully the questioner -- politics 101
Whatever. I'm a great judge of people and you folks on this thread are showing why FR is morphing into Peyton Place. First class soap opera. Buncha thin skin whiners.
Bingo!
Did Cheney invite Blitzer to go hunting?
He did answer the question. He said Blitzer was out of line. He's right. Cheney was there to answer questions relevant to his position as VP, not questions of a personal nature.
Time to take Wolfie bird hunting ...
Reagan Man has Cheney Envy, I think.
Well that could be, but I think he is just an arse.
Wolf didn't ask the VP if he ever had hemorrhoids, the clap, about his manhood or his sex life. Wolf asked Cheney about one of his two children, who has been involved in national politics. A lesbian daughter who is pregnant and about to give birth out of wedlock. The best way to handle such a serious of questions, is to just give an answer and move on. You people are acting like this is some kind of unethical inquisition. It wasn't! Politics isn't for the faint of heart or thin skin whiners either.
No kidding.
Troll.
So whats your DU name?
