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.

I wonder why CNN has not found OBL?

Guess they can't find him for an interview

Stop being so thin skinned, Mister VP.

Ronald Reagan would NEVER had said that.

Perhaps you should change your name to "McCain Man" so you can speak ill of Republicans for fun and profit.

Politics be damned!!

I was being deposed when one of the 3 lawyers for the other side asked me for my wife's name. I knew it was already public information and it's purpose was to intimidate me.

I told the lawyer that I was not going to spend my time answering stupid questions or play lawyer games. I walked out. Everyone was upset.

Then I found myself in front of a Judge. He barked about how I was not being cooperative and wanted me to tell him what I thought of the entire ordeal. I said, "Frankly your Honor, I don't give a damn".

BTW, I did win the lawsuit against me.

when did a liberal ever ponder the propriety of a question to a conservative?

answer: never.

(blitzer's gloat meter went up to about one thousand......and gloat meters usually only go to one hundred.)

Cheney obviously did not want to respond to Focus on the Family's criticism of out of wedlock/lesbian tech births.

The truth is hard for Cheney to handle, but he should have confirmed Focus' perspective IMO.

"Reagan never whined."

Reagon was also never ungracious, as you are being now.

Give it a rest.

I am really sick of the delving into the personal lives of anyone they can use to make a buck. Not just politicians but everybody that comes in their viewer has to be dissected like a frog.

If they can not find anything on you they will drag your family, immediate or extend into it. That is disgusting and classless.

It makes one long for the days when dueling was legal.

He should have told him to F-Off, like he did to Leahy.

Begala just said that Cheney showed the world what a liar he is..in that interview with Wolf.

He says Cheney should resign today...because of all of the lies he has told.
