Well I’m sure brit will ask the probing question,hopefully he wont make the veep cry…Now when he doesn’t will the rest of the MSM demand more….I doubt it..
February 15th, 2006 at 11:22 amNo doubt a hard hitting interview where Cheney gives honest, solid answers.
February 15th, 2006 at 11:22 amHume:”Mr. Cheney, I just want to tell you how delicious your penis tastes. I love you and everything about you. Why are the terrible liberals attacking you. You are just a sweet old man and they are attacking you viciously. Why won’t they leave you alone. All you want is world peace and flowers and candy to all the children on the planet.”
Cheney: “If we listedn to the liberals we may be hit by terrorists and hit hard”.
Hume: “God Bless you and may the angels of heaven continue carrying you on their feathery wings”
-GSD
February 15th, 2006 at 11:25 amWhy not just have Ken Melman do the interview? Afterwards, Cheney can preset Kenny the Golden-Knee-Pads award. Brit will be soooooo jealous.
February 15th, 2006 at 11:26 amCheney: If Mr. Whittington hadn’t put his face in front of my gun, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. Now, why don’t you all go fuck yourselves? I’m done here.
Brit: Those consoling words were from the distinguished Vice President of the United States. An avid hunter, gun lover, and really, if I may express a personal opinion, a real man’s man if you know what I mean.
February 15th, 2006 at 11:28 amBrit Hume, a man not bigger than the job he has to do and grateful for every day he gets to do it, gets the interview of a lifetime. It’ll be the greatest fold since Rand McNally introduced the glove compartment road map. Pffffft.
February 15th, 2006 at 11:28 amI am wrapping my tv in toilet paper now… don’t want get shit all over my carpet.
February 15th, 2006 at 11:29 amBoy am I Impress to know that Brit Hume will be Hardballing vp cheney “NOT” .Thye kniow how to pick their feather weights .
February 15th, 2006 at 11:33 amUnless we’re going to hear from reporters embedded in the Veep’s hunting party as they went into action against the quail, this won’t be either amusing or informative.
February 15th, 2006 at 11:35 amHey, you guys are sullying my proud name. I’ve worked “hard” to get where I am, and I’ve had to “swallow” a lot of stuff along the way.
Best part is, I get paid for it.
February 15th, 2006 at 11:38 amInterview –
Brit: How are you Mr. vP?
February 15th, 2006 at 11:39 amDick: Good
Brit: Thanks for coming in.
Dick: Glad to be here.
Brit: So you shot someone?
Dick: Peppered is a more accurate term, shot is technically correct in that I pointed a gun pulled the trigger and the projectiles that exited the barrell at 500+ ft per second hit an innocent bystander that was not a quial… But peppered is more accurate.
Brit: So you simply peppered someone?
Dick: Yes
Brit: Why does Mr. Wittingham hate America?
Dick: I do not know.
Brit: Will your pepering him make it more difficult for you to keep America safe from Iraq and the terrorists?
Dick: Not at all Brit. I want all Americans to know that while I was shaken when I “peppered” Harry, i am steadfast in my belief that I will be OK, hell if shooitng er; I mean peppering someone does not give me a heart attack what will?
Brit: Thanks for clearing this up for America Mr. VP
Dick: Not a problem Brit.
Shocking X-Rays of Harry Whittington.

February 15th, 2006 at 11:43 amI was going to say this interview will be a huge love-fest, but GSD in #3 beat me to it. Plus, he was much more eloquent.
February 15th, 2006 at 11:44 amJust great, one of the (paid????) G.O.P. toadies to ask non-questions of the titular (Vice) Preznit Cheney!
February 15th, 2006 at 11:49 amGranite State Destroyer :) LOL
February 15th, 2006 at 11:51 am#3 – You speak the Truth. Well done! LMFAO!!!
February 15th, 2006 at 11:53 amThe one thing that has been missing from what few statements the office of the VP has released is any sort of remorse from Cheney as to what happened. There has been debate as to who was at fault…Cheney for not being careful enough, to Whittington for not announcing his approach…but from what info has been released, Cheney has so far refused to show any sorrow for what happened. I don’t really expect him to take responsibility for what happened; if he did, the WH would be breaking tradition.
Then again, in a couple of weeks he may pull a Bush and make an offer of pseudo responsibility : “To the extent that Harry Whittington was present in our hunting party when he was unfortunately injured, I take responsibility.”
February 15th, 2006 at 11:54 amThey won’t air it live so they can edit out all the crying, sniffling and intensely painful remorse that we know the Vice President, who shot a 78-year-old man in the face, must be feeling right now.
I’m kidding, of course. They’ll be editing out the joking that the two of them will be doing.
February 15th, 2006 at 11:54 am#3 GSD, but your interview would be worth watching. Good one!
February 15th, 2006 at 11:55 amFox is the only station that he dares go on. Why trolls? Because they are the only fair news? Out of all the media, this is the only one who he can count on for a good spin.
Nobody buys Fox. The people who watch it even know it’s bullshit, they just can’t help being placated. When given the choice, I would rather be told the truth, ugly or not. I prefer reality.
February 15th, 2006 at 11:58 amWho woulda’ thunk it?
The murderous treasonous, war profiteer- L’il Dick- gives the EXCLUSIVE interview to the supreme republiscum Bushite “fellatio” artiste…
…Brit “the Bushiva/L’il Dick swallower” Hume…
…I’m shocked…
…are you shocked?
February 15th, 2006 at 12:04 pmI’ve already seen Brokeback Mountain.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:04 pmwho wants to bet he’ll put the blame on the media for making too much of this, and not himself for doing too little about it?
February 15th, 2006 at 12:12 pmBrit: Welcome, Sir.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:26 pmDick: Thank you.
Brit: How are you doing?
Dick: Fine. Never felt better.
Brit: This hunting accident. Doesn’t it upset you that you’ve gotten all this negative coverage for blasting the crap out of a friend?
Dick: It does. Especially as it was Harry’s fault for getting shot. Remember guns don’t kill people. People who get in the way of guns kill people. Usually themselves.
Brit: Indeed. But nonetheless, in your infinite generosity, you’ve provided Harry with all the medical help he needs.
Dick: Yes. We got him to hospital. I’m sure he’ll be grateful when he regains consciousness. And I am sure he’ll also see the funny side.
Brit: Because the injuries weren’t particularly serious, right?
Dick: No. 200 pellets at point-blank range? Nothing. Down in Gitmo, it’s like a rite of passage for every detainee. Once a month, they get peppered. With an extra shot for anyone looking anemic. And it’s definitely not torture.
Brit: Now back to the coverage you’ve received. Why do you think it’s been so negative?
Dick: Because the media hates me. Fox excepted, they’re always taking shots at me. And their words hurt.
Brit: I understand. Pointed criticism is quite out of line. So to clarify, you are an expert and experienced hunter?
Dick: Yes.
Brit: And you were were operating in full compliance with the law whilst hunting?
Dick: Yes. I always do.
Brit: And what did President Bush have to say?
Dick: Well first, he was angry that we nearly lost a Republican donor. Then he thought it was funny that I thought a guy in an orange jacket looked like a quail. Then he was concerned again that I shot a defense lawyer, because God knows these days we need as many as we can get. Then he was upset he wasn’t invited to the booze up. And then he was relieved that he’s never been hunting with me. So really, went through the normal cycle of irrational observances.
Brit: So basically, the President was happy with how you dealt with it?
Dick: Well yes, Karl thought it was great that we finally had frontpage news that didn’t involve violating the Constitution. Garden-variety criminal negligence? You know what I say – that’s so pre-9/11.
Brit: Of course. And for a final question, when will you next be going hunting?
Dick: Good question Brit, and an important one, but one I would rather not answer. We wouldn’t want to tip off birds in captivity who will be getting it in a fortnight’s time.
Brit: That would be a grave breach of national security.
Dick: It would.
Brit: Mr Vice-President, thank you very much.
Dick: No, thank you, my fellatial friend.
Maybe Brit will ask if he was drinking? Or if he was hunting illegally after dark? Or about that Swiss ambassador he was with? Or why he outed a CIA agent who was working on Iranian nukes?
Nah–just dreaming.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:34 pmIf I were that lawyer who was on the receiving end of Dick’s big gun, I’d sue. Better sell Halliburton, if you own any of their stock.
Dick will have to sell too, lock, stock, and barrel.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:36 pmFOX swallows for Cheney.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:37 pm#22 – Sweet. Still LMAO.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:56 pmcynicalgirl (#25) is dead-on correct.
“These arent the droids…move along.”
kipster
February 15th, 2006 at 1:20 pmAfter all this time, an interview on Fox? What a coward. And this is the guy who’s going to protect our country? Given the inneptitude Cheney/Bush bring to everything they touch, I wouldn’t trust him to protect my kid’s pet fish.
February 15th, 2006 at 1:38 pm#22… lol
February 15th, 2006 at 2:22 pmFox excepted, they’re always taking shots at me.
Ouch! That’ll leave a mark.

February 15th, 2006 at 2:41 pmI am LOL!
BREAKING NEWS:
L’il Dick’s stirring words in Hume interview…
“I’m the guy who pulled the trigger, and shot my friend.”
boohooboohoohhooohoohoohohoo,
…can I get a little bit of sympathy please…
booohooohoohohoobooohoo!!!!!
February 15th, 2006 at 2:51 pm“Hume: “God Bless you and may the angels of heaven continue carrying you on their feathery wingsâ€
LOL
If it weren’t so pathetically true
February 15th, 2006 at 2:54 pmDoes this “really” count as a legitimate interview, “breaking the silence”.
Cheney talking to Fox is like going back home to the mother ship.
Just ask yourself when the interview is going on, if this were a Democrat, or anyone that stood up against this administration, or power, would it be conducted in the same manner.
Then be truthful with yourself about the type of news reporting that makes for a strong Democracy. Having Fox in our Democracy is very, very sad because of their partisan, rabblerousing, unprofessional journalism.
Don’t love or hate a party, love or hate the actions (not words) of those in the party. Is Cheney and Fox good for America? HHHmmmm….
February 15th, 2006 at 2:57 pmWhy is the mainstream media still bending over and taking it dry from this administration. Why why why? You think by now they’d at least demand a little lubricant. We can’t trust our media, we can’t trust our government — recipe for a revolution.
February 15th, 2006 at 3:11 pm“The hissy fit thrown by the national media appears to be working. Just like spoiled children, the media’s temper tantrum over the lack of information flowing directly to them regarding Vice President Cheney’s hunting accident has now started to yield results. Democrats, media members, and even some Republicans are beginning to criticize the vice president. Get real! Iran is enriching uranium, and the only concern in Washington appears to be the hurt feelings of left-wing journalists.”
