VIDEO: Lynne Cheney Unhinged On CNN
VIDEO: Lynne Cheney Unhinged On CNN
Lynne Cheney repeatedly attacked CNN for having a liberal bias during a fiery and combative appearance today on the Situation Room.
Cheney said a CNN special that aired yesterday was a “terrible distortion of both the president and the vice president’s position on many issues,” in part because CNN used the phrase “domestic surveillance” to describe the so-called “Terrorist Surveillance Program.” When Wolf Blitzer pointed out that some individuals have been arrested and interrogated despite having no ties to terrorism, Cheney warned, “I think that you might be a little careful” declaring someone has “clean hands.”
Later, Cheney criticized Virginia Senate candidate Jim Webb for including sexually explicit material in his novels. Asked whether her own novel Sisters had “lesbian characters,” Cheney said, “no, not necessarily. This description is a lie. I’ll stand on that.” In fact, her novel did contain multiple scenes describing a lesbian love affair.
Repeatedly, Cheney asked Wolf Blitzer to end his line of questioning and about her new children’s book.

Full transcript:
CHENEY: You know, I understand your point. It’s kind of the point of a lot of people right now, to try to distort the administration’s position, and if you really want to talk about that, I watched the program on CNN last night, which I though — it’s your 2006 voter program, which I thought was a terrible distortion of both the president and the vice president’s position on many issues. It seemed almost straight out of Democratic talking points using phrasing like “domestic surveillance.”
[…]
CHENEY: You know, I think that you might be a little careful before you declare this as a person with clean hands.
BLITZER: You’re referring to the CNN “BROKEN GOVERNMENT” special.
CHENEY: I certainly am.
BLITZER: This was the one that John King reported on last night.
CHENEY: Well, you know, right there, Wolf, “BROKEN GOVERNMENT.” Now, what kind of stance is that? Here we are. We’re 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 a recession. We’re a country where the economy is healthy. That’s not broken. This government has acted very well.
[…]
CHENEY: Well, all right, Wolf. I’m here to talk about my book, but if you want to talk about distortion…
BLITZER: We’ll talk about your book.
CHENEY: Well, right, but what is CNN doing running terrorist tapes of terrorists shooting Americans? I mean, I saw Duncan Hunter ask you a very good question and you didn’t answer it. Do you want us to win?
BLITZER: The answer is, of course, we want the United States to win. We are Americans. There’s no doubt about that. Do you think we want terrorists to win?
CHENEY: Then why are you running terrorist propaganda?
BLITZER: With all due respect — with all due respect, this is not terrorist propaganda.
CHENEY: Oh, Wolf.
BLITZER: This is reporting the news.
[…]
CHENEY: Now, do you promise, Wolf, that we’re going to talk about my book?
BLITZER: I do promise.
CHENEY: Because this seems to be a mighty long trip around the merry-go-round.
BLITZER: I want you to — this was in the news today and your name has come up, so that’s why we’re talking about it.
[…]
BLITZER: Here’s what the Democratic Party put out today, the Democratic Congressional — Senatorial Campaign Committee: “Lynne Cheney’s book featured brothels and attempted rape. In 1981, Vice
President Dick Cheney’s wife, Lynne, wrote a book called “Sisters”, which featured a lesbian love affair, brothels and attempted rapes.”
CHENEY: No.
BLITZER: “In 1988, Lynn Cheney wrote about a Republican vice president who dies of a heart attack while having sex with his mistress.” Is that true?
CHENEY: Nothing explicit. And actually, that was full of lies. It’s not — it’s just — it’s absolutely not a…
BLITZER: Did you write a book entitled “Sisters”?
CHENEY: I did write a book entitled “Sisters.”
BLITZER: It did have lesbian characters.
CHENEY: This — no, not necessarily. This description is a lie. I’ll stand on that.
BLITZER: There’s nothing in there about rape and brothels?
CHENEY: Well, Wolf, could we talk about a children’s book for a minute?
BLITZER: We can talk about the children’s book. I just wanted to…
CHENEY: I think my segment is, like, 15 minutes long and we’ve had about 10 minutes of…
BLITZER: I just wanted to — I just wanted to clarify what’s in the news today, given — this is…
CHENEY: Sex, lies and distortion.
She’s a BAD WOMAN!
October 27th, 2006 at 6:34 pmman, what a beyotch! now wonder Cheney has that strained expression on his face all the time…
October 27th, 2006 at 6:36 pmPROTEST IDEA FOR WASHINGTON DC!!!
YOU WILL GET ON TV IF YOU DO THIS!!
Anyone located in DC who wants to perform a protest act that will help the Dem agenda, target the ridiculous excusation of torture from the Cheney, and get themselves on TV….here’s a great idea:
Go to a central location like the Whitehouse or Congress. You will need an assistant dressed as an Iraqi prisoner, you need a large 50 gallon bucket, a wooden box, a 8in wide plank of wood from Home Depot…..
Here is the idea: Simulate a waterboarding torture! Tie up your prisoner, put him on the board, rest the board (securely) on the wooden box, and dunk him into the water up to his head. When you prisoner comes out of the water, have him screaming for mercy!
If i lived there, i would be doing this by tomorrow!
We need to re-inact what this looks like for the world to see….good Americans need to see to believe that this is inhumane. IT IS NOT AMERICAN to be this evil. Yes, being the good guy makes you vulnerable, but in the great words….
“American will cease to be Great, when it ceases to be Good.”
October 27th, 2006 at 6:37 pmSex, lies and distortion
Was that the name of her children’s book?
October 27th, 2006 at 6:39 pmGotta hand it to her - times are tough for Daddy, so she’s out on the red-herring wagon, slingin’em as hard and far as she can (I’ll stay away from any “fishy” puns pertaining to her literary achievements)
October 27th, 2006 at 6:40 pmI envision John Stewart waving a copy of the First Joker’s book and reading select passages. All to the delight of the audience.
October 27th, 2006 at 6:41 pmYep, I watched it to……My comment is, good thing these miserable people are married to each other so two other’s won’t be as sick and evil along with them…Now I truly know what kind of person would be married to mr. evil in charge, mrs. just as evil……..Blessings
October 27th, 2006 at 6:41 pmAfter watching this video, I have to ask? Who wears the pants in the Cheney household. She is one strong person, and the meanness inside just oozes out in her tone.
I’ll tell you. Lynn Cheney showed that there is a good chance that Dick is Lynn’s King George.
October 27th, 2006 at 6:42 pmLook at dem Bug Eyes. I wonder how many types of Meds she’s on?
October 27th, 2006 at 6:43 pmShe needs to be on every station!!! She does more for the progressive movement than any Democrat!!! The most unlikeable, shrill, emotional woman today. Ann Coulter is a nun compared to her!
October 27th, 2006 at 6:43 pmwolf drilled her and then slapped her in the face with it…
more please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 27th, 2006 at 6:45 pm…in part because CNN used the phrase “domestic surveillance†to describe the so-called “Terrorist Surveillance Program.â€
I call it what it truly is...Illegal Warrantless Secret Wiretap Program
October 27th, 2006 at 6:46 pmWhat is this idea Talking Points that I always here from the conservatives? Could someone bother to explain it to me, I don’t get it.
“domestic surveillanceâ€, and the whole issue she has with this phrase. That is exact explanation of what it is! To call a “Terrorist Surveillance Program” would actually be less accurate, unless you think the american people are terrorists?
She is accusing CNN of using propaganda when SHE is the one who needs to use propaganda!
October 27th, 2006 at 6:47 pmSome’s off their meds.
wow.
October 27th, 2006 at 6:48 pmChildren’s book?
October 27th, 2006 at 6:51 pm“The Three little GOPigs”
I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your bunker down
“You see, Wolf, I’m a Republican so the smut that I write is patriotic, god-fearing smut.”
October 27th, 2006 at 6:52 pmoooooooo! … i know that look (the screen saved one)…
October 27th, 2006 at 6:52 pmthat’s the one your mom gives you when she’s at her last nerve!
been there, seen it, done it! … badly chosen battle, lynnie…
.
#8 I agree with you there. If she wasn’t the one wearing the pants he’d have kept her on a tight leash. I’ve seen Pit Bulls with more charm then she has.
October 27th, 2006 at 6:54 pmThis lady is freakin nuts. But then you’d have to be to live with someone as dark as “Five Deferrment” Dick.
Just from this short interview you can easily see that this lady is a psychological mess. She actually wrote a book about a Repub. Vice Pres. dying of a heart attack with his mistress? Was this a deep seated wish of hers? Holy crap.
Then she asks Wolf if he wants “Us” to win. If I was Wolf I’d of asked her who “Us” is? The fascist neo-cons trying to destroy our country?
October 27th, 2006 at 6:54 pmHmmm…….”Unhinged”…….tirades and meltdowns by reichwingers……………kinda like MTV’s” Unplugged”……I’d watch
October 27th, 2006 at 6:57 pmWolf has been impressive lately. Over the last month, I’d say. He’s acting like a journalist and asking hard questions of everyone on his show - regardless of party affliation. You can see that Lynne isn’t used to being called out. How funny.
October 27th, 2006 at 6:57 pmWatch out!!!!
Bob Casey Goes UNHINGED on your DOG!!!
October 27th, 2006 at 6:57 pmEvil man, evil wife. Plain and simple. They are both lunatics.
And with hetero parents like that, no wonder their daughter is gay.
October 27th, 2006 at 6:59 pmLet’s all feel really sorry for Lynne. It’s hard watching your life go down the toilet. She used to be on top of the world, and now she’s just the pitiful wife of a Republican who is going to be impeached, and then tried for treason, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, among so many other things. Instead of going on television and foaming at the mouth, shouldn’t she instead be getting fitted for the wardrobe she’ll be wearing at her husband’s trial?
October 27th, 2006 at 7:00 pmHey Jimmie, last time I checked, Santorum is running about 20 points behind in the polls.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:01 pmWow,…..She really has a major problem with reality. She really picked the wrong fight with Blitzer. Was she trying to one-up Clinton? She did badly if that was the case. The diference between Princess Cheney and Pres. Clinton is that Clinton knew what he was talking about and did. Princess Cheney had no clue.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:02 pmBLITZER: It did have lesbian characters.
CHENEY: This — no, not necessarily. This description is a lie. I’ll stand on that.
Jesus Christ, it’s FICTION. Own your frickin’ work and have some integrity. What the f**k is this, “not necessarily”? What does that mean? What does it matter if your novel has lesbian characters? What a goddamn coward this woman is.
When a writer sets out to tell a story, he or she is at the service of the story, not a friggin’ political agenda. Unless the story is propaganda, in which case the writer is a hack.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:02 pmI can just hear Mary Cheney’s reaction. “I looked at Wolf Blitzer and I thought, ‘You son of a bitch!’”
Ya gotta love the Cheney’s family values.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:03 pm“I think you might be a little careful…”
Did that phrase send a shiver down anyone else’s spine?
October 27th, 2006 at 7:03 pmLOVE her!
Stories about brothels and attempted rape are THE R0XX0R!
But ‘economy is healthy’!?!? The Economist does not think this to be an established fact: http://www.economist.com/ business/ displaystory.cfm?story_id=8079134
October 27th, 2006 at 7:03 pmThis is an calculated attempt to duplicate Clinton’s slapdown of Chris Wallace. But it is not equivalent at all. The difference is that while Clinton was clearly steamed, he still answered Wallace’s comments directly. He utlimately admits fault for his failure to stop the terrorists, but points out (vigoriously) why Wallace’s questions are biased, and that Bush’s failures were even greater (demoting Clarke, PDB memo, etc.). Lynne Cheney is simply rude to Blitzer. She continually interrupts him and never directly answers his questions regarding her book plot. She dismisses specific questions with declarations that they are all lies, without being specific about the nature of the supposed lies. And her claims of CNN propaganda are ridiculous in light of her insistance for slogans like “Terrorist Surveillance Program” to describe what is, most accurately, a domestic warrantless wiretapping program.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:04 pmBluedog49,
That website is for fun only.
I think Jimmie knew that when he posted.
It’s often confused with a real site, but it is really funny.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:06 pmHow would you like to be married to that? Jesus! She makes Hillary look like the Good Witch of the North.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:07 pmMrs. Cheney certainly spins, distorts, and lies like a pro. Take a look:
We’ve been through Katrina. […] That’s not broken.
If the botched response to that natural disaster doesn’t show something is broken in the government, I don’t know what in the world does.
The president and the vice president inherited a recession.
That is simply not true. The NBER has stated the recession lasted from March though November 2001.
Not even The Wall Street Journal can find anyone who will say the recession started before November 2000.
What this government has done is effective.
Bin Laden is still on the run, Iraq is a mess, and the Taliban are back. I guess Mrs. Cheney and I have differing opinions on what “effective” means.
Wolf, I have nothing to explain. Jim Webb has a lot to explain.
Well, she just won’t answer the question, will she? She keeps deflecting and changing the subject. All trolls use the same tactic here: “Look over there! A Democrat!”
October 27th, 2006 at 7:08 pmit will be interesting to note any ramification(s) wolfie will suffer for having “the nerve” to ask the mrs.vice any real questions…
October 27th, 2006 at 7:09 pmshe was really miffed…
Distortion and Lies!!
Man do we have these people on the ropes. I bet that she won’t have ANY backlash about being combative. Nothing like the mud that was thrown at Clinton after defending himself on Fox news.
They are desparate. As Rummy just said, “It’s time to Back off, take a look at it… RElax.”
Not for a LONG time. We are going to hit you (GOP) until you are down, and then we are going to start kicking. It won’t be considered torture, at least not as defined by YOUR president.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:12 pmHer husband surely doesn’thave clean hands. There is so much blood the mud gets lost.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:14 pmWhat does she know of clean hands. Her south of the border gardener has the clean hands, not her, she sleeps with dicky.
This: I’m here to talk about my book
Followed by this: Well, right, but what is CNN doing running terrorist tapes of terrorists shooting Americans? […] Do you want us to win?
Followed by this: Now, do you promise, Wolf, that we’re going to talk about my book?
Well, with all due respect Mrs Cheney, if you learnt to focus and stayed on topic, you wouldn’t need to complain about Blitzer not asking about your bloody book, when you keep changing the subject.
What a passive-aggressive person this woman is.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:14 pmI can’t follow Lynn’s thinking here. Her and Scooter writing explicit sexual passages in novels is okay. Her husband waterboarding people is okay. But Jim Webb has alot of explaining to do for having a few sexually explicit passages in his novel.
Well she seems alot like her husband. A big fat lying hypocrite.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:18 pm- I thought Lon Cheney was dead.-
October 27th, 2006 at 7:22 pmNot for a LONG time. We are going to hit you (GOP)…

there’s too much at stake here - it ain’t over yet…
know what i mean? … just sayin’…
I wish Wolf had asked her how much she’s profitted of the war…I bet she’s made MILLION$.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:27 pmhey, katy have you read “sisters” yet?
hmmm?
October 27th, 2006 at 7:28 pmWhite Powder in an envelope discovered in Pres. Clinton’s office
Sorry. Really OT. Clinton wasn’t there, but it does send a message. Same with Olbermann a couple months ago.
Gee. I wonder why the threats?
October 27th, 2006 at 7:28 pm…………hmmmmmmm……….
- I thought Lon Cheney was dead.-
Comment by null
LOL! Good One!
October 27th, 2006 at 7:30 pmOh Lynne, how could you forget such breathy prose?
“Let us go away together, away from the anger and the imperatives of men. We shall find ourselves a secluded bower where they dare not venture. There will be only the two of us, and we shall linger through long afternoons of sweet retirement.”
“How well her words describe our love - or the way it would be if we could remove all impediments, leave this place, and join together … Then our union would be complete. Our lives would flow together, twin streams merging into a single river.”
Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. I bet she had a big old bottle of wine sitting next to her as she wrote this novel.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:30 pmAre all Republican wives this feisty?
I thought they were supposed to obey their husbands. Oh. Wait. Ms. Cheney is following direct orders. Spin. Shift. Confuse. Induce fear.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:31 pmand, i didn’t look too hard yet, but what is the story context surrounding the sentence (about the penis) in webb’s book… i could only deduce that it was not sexual/sensual at all, very strange… maybe a vietnamese raspberry kinda thing…
October 27th, 2006 at 7:31 pmamazon wouldn’t let me read that whole page because i haven’t bought anything in a long time…
anyone?
“Katrino” ?
October 27th, 2006 at 7:35 pmno, joe, i haven’t … i hear it’s out of print…
October 27th, 2006 at 7:35 pmi have heard some parts read on the radio… it sounded really amateurish and silly…

” I thought Lon Cheney was dead.-”
Ah man, Thanks for the laugh.

just what is she standing on? … it doesn’t sound ambiguous to me…
October 27th, 2006 at 7:41 pm.
That person sleeps with Darth Chaney every night. What a horrible manifestation!
October 27th, 2006 at 7:43 pmYes, she called it “Katrino” because she’s that far removed from all the horror her husband’s administration caused during “Katrina.”
October 27th, 2006 at 7:46 pmLynn Cheney is a mean nasty woman who loved to talk about Bill Clinton’s penis when she was on Crossfire program, plus her book about lesbians has sleazy stuff in it > shame on her and her stinky hubby VP Dick Cheney!
October 27th, 2006 at 7:46 pmIt has been the folklore of our society since the days of Noah that the rats will desert a sinking ship. One of the other mainstays of our heritage is that we never give up the ship. It is quite obvious that the “elite politicos” of bushco are not students of history or mythology. These politicos are determined to stay aboard the sinking ship and will never give up the rats even though the rats are the only non-convicted things left on the ship. If I had a dollar for every rethuglican that will lose office in the next 26 months and Mrs. Cheney had a feather up her nose we would both be extremely tickled. As it is I am happier than a dead pig under a new wagon just watching bushco self-destruct day by day and rat by rat.
Feed the rats–Click on Clyde.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:47 pmOMG!
I went back and listened again.
She does call it “Katrino”!
How f**king awful.
They are the lowest.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:49 pmcorinne, @ 7:30 pm - you need to post that at trueblue’s link!
October 27th, 2006 at 7:49 pmgood one, true!
these people just keep getting in deeper, scarier…
I doubt that Cheney “beame” unhinged. She has been that way for years. She wakes up every morning and takes handfuls of “Nasty” pills so that she can spew her contempt for anyone who doesn’t tow her line. Of course anyone married to the likes of her husband would have a great need to be on something just to live with someone capable of shooting you in the face at the drop of a hat(or anything else). She and her “know nothing” husband deserve each other. Hopefully the day is not far off when they will share a jail cell, complete with waterboarding for the rest of their natural lives.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:50 pmshe is a delusional, cold human being
October 27th, 2006 at 7:51 pmAnd if CNN had been around in 1944, we now know how an Eva Braun interview would have gone.
October 27th, 2006 at 7:53 pmWolf Blitzer clobbered her good > I wish he would do that to Dick Cheney and clobber the boy king Bush as well!
October 27th, 2006 at 7:55 pmthanks, katy, but it’s TPM, not me.

October 27th, 2006 at 8:00 pmDid I hear her right? “The President and Vice President inherited a recession.” Wingnut history…
October 27th, 2006 at 8:02 pmI’d be unhinged too, if I were married to that sociopath.
What a Whore!
October 27th, 2006 at 8:02 pm“Go phouc yourself Mrs. Cheney.”
October 27th, 2006 at 8:03 pmThanks for the link in #53, trueblue. I also saw the interview with Wolf Blitzer where she tried to dodge and weave on all those lies. Those passages she wrote were probably from personal experience. Maybe when they were newly weds and Dick was fresh out of deferments to keep his pasty-faced butt from being drafted to serve during the Vietnam War.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but that was when Dick knocked Lynne’s ass up and he got either his 4th or 5th deferment that kept him safely here at home while better men went off to fight and die in his place.
At any rate, I find it amusing how every election Lynne Cheney manages to find her way onto the news stage to defend the VP and his trained monkey’s administration as she did in the last days of the 2004 election.
October 27th, 2006 at 8:06 pmHeck of a (nut) job.
October 27th, 2006 at 8:07 pmYou all seem to be singing from the same hymnsheet.
Cheney’s wife made 3 main points :
1 CNN showed terrorist propaganda ie the staged film of a US soldier being sniped. TRUE - that’s why people are calling it Crescent News Network. CNN is despised by the troops, just like the BBC is despised by British troops.
2 CNN is essentially adopting as its editorial line the DNC talking points eg running “Broken Government” items. She pointed out that the economy is damn strong. TRUE
3 She denied the DNC charge about her books - she claims CATEGORICALLY that her books contain NO EXPLICIT SEX. Probably TRUE - why would she risk being tripped up? She knows what she wrote, Blitzer doesn’t.
You guys are gonna be spitting teeth on Nov 7th if current trends continue. The Fat Lady ain’t sung yet, but not even the DNC thinks it can win the Senate - and the House is no longer looking like a shoo-in.
Ignore the national polls - go look at the detailed local polls eg at realclearpolitics.com Otherwise you are gonna get a nasty surprise in a few days time.
(As a Londoner, I am amazed how many Americans are ignorant of the actual state of the polls. Frothing at the mouth about impeachments, and all the hate some of you guys display - sad, really. No sense of balance. And in CNN’s case, damn all sense of decency.
October 27th, 2006 at 8:12 pm“Sex, Lies and Distortion.” My life as a Republican. Penned by: Duke Cunningham, Scooter Libby, Mark Foley, Denny (home of the Whopper) Hassert, Tom DeLay, David Safavian…you get the picture.
October 27th, 2006 at 8:15 pmThanks, Joe Sixpack.
That’s the second “Correct me” you’ve done today.
I’m feeling spoiled!
About the passages, maybe she was reading her daughter’s diary………
OK, maybe that was bad. I couldn’t help it.
October 27th, 2006 at 8:16 pmyo, Olberman isn’t covering it… he must have missed what happened…
October 27th, 2006 at 8:17 pmHey JohninLondon. Why don’t you come over here and see first hand what we’re talking about. Can you claim this governement is NOT broken?
October 27th, 2006 at 8:17 pmHmmm……now they know how Bill Clinton felt being blind sided. How does it feel, Lynn. These repugs are pathetic.
Peace!
October 27th, 2006 at 8:18 pmAs a Londoner, I am amazed how many Americans are ignorant of the actual state of the polls. Frothing at the mouth about impeachments, and all the hate some of you guys display - sad, really. No sense of balance. And in CNN’s case, damn all sense of decency.
Comment by JohninLondon
Why don’t you go have a bowl of blood pudding or something, John. Besides, we get all the “sense of balance” and “decency” we need from Fox News. I mean, I guess you Brits are really having a love affair with the leadership of Tony Blair, huh?
October 27th, 2006 at 8:18 pmCan one imagine what the conversation must be like when Lynne & Barbara get together for a little girl…..errrr….bitch talk…..*blink*…..

October 27th, 2006 at 8:23 pmEveryone knows that people from England, Europe, the World over, are tired and disgusted with the Bush Regime.
That is a troll in disguise. Ignore it.
** it’s blood sausage, Joe Six, and believe me, it ain’t pretty.**
Now I have to email zooey about what it looks like, since it would be improper to do so here.
October 27th, 2006 at 8:24 pm;)
Nobody from Britain would defend the Bush Regime, on here, unless they were that lap poodle dog Tony Blair himself > lol.

Prove point number one if you can:CNN is despised by the troops, just like the BBC is despised by British troops.
CNN is essentially adopting as its editorial line the DNC talking points eg running “Broken Government†items. She pointed out that the economy is damn strong. TRUE
Wrong. Housing, which is one of the real engines of American growth, is the worst its been in thirty five years. Real wages are down. The stockmarket is doing OK, but that isn’t the only benchmark; bankruptcies are growing also.
You guys are gonna be spitting teeth on Nov 7th if current trends continue. The Fat Lady ain’t sung yet, but not even the DNC thinks it can win the Senate - and the House is no longer looking like a shoo-in.
And I will be here to feed your words back to you.
Ignore the national polls - go look at the detailed local polls eg at realclearpolitics.com Otherwise you are gonna get a nasty surprise in a few days time.
This is an election about Iraq, plain and simple. Americans have been polled repeatedly, and the trend is away from Republican positions. And realclearpolitics is realbiased - or hadn’t you noticed?
(As a Londoner, I am amazed how many Americans are ignorant of the actual state of the polls. Frothing at the mouth about impeachments, and all the hate some of you guys display - sad, really. No sense of balance. And in CNN’s case, damn all sense of decency.

Comment by JohninLondon — October 27, 2006 @ 8:12 pm
False. That tape was real and CNN was reporting the news. That’s what they do.
You have a problem with reality, so you are asking that CNN portray a sanitised view of the war, and only from the government’s perspective.
Hardly the rock-solid foundations of a democracy.
CNN is despised by the troops, just like the BBC is despised by British troops.
The Beeb despised by British troops? Do you have the results of a poll to back that assertion of did you just pull it out of your rear end?
2 CNN is essentially adopting as its editorial line the DNC talking points
You are a Londoner. What do you care what the CNN in the US broadcasts?
She pointed out that the economy is damn strong. TRUE
False. The economy, although not in the doldrums, is not “damn strong”. Even the housing market that kept the economy buoyant is slumping now.
3 She denied the DNC charge about her books - she claims CATEGORICALLY that her books contain NO EXPLICIT SEX. Probably TRUE
So you are just defnding hwer for the sake of it, since you don’t know either. Interesting.
why would she risk being tripped up?
Er, oh, because she is a liar, just like her husband?

‘I visit the US a couple of times a year - it doesn’t look like broken government to me. Heck, I wish central London was as safe as NYC.’
Heck John, I live in NYC - downtown to be exact. And I don’t feel so safe. Still. When I hear more than 1 siren or a helicopter I still get a pit in the bottom of my stomach. And when I hear things like a PDB stating “Bin Laden Determined to Strike USA’ - well, I get pretty angry. So I’m glad you feel so safe here. I don’t feel like this government has my and my family’s best interest at heart, and that makes me think things are broken.

Visiting a few times a year ain’t going to tell you anything, John. Maybe next time you visit, take in New Orleans and go sightseeing. Perhaps if you lived and worked here and watched the National Debt go to 8.5 Trillion dollars, the unsafe borders, good jobs sent abroad, corporate corruption run amuck and one of the most mean-spirited, dirty, corrupt and vile governments the US has ever had, you might sing a different tune.
As for you wishing London was as safe, the last time I checked Westminister Abbey and the Tower of London was still standing. That counts for something.
I have always appreciated England and having someone to stand with us as allies. Too bad our imbecile of a president and his henchmen have strained that relationship and trust with the Brittish folks. Next time we go to war, I bet there will be some second thinking on our allies part, huh?
Well, cherrio and all that rot, my man.
October 27th, 2006 at 8:57 pmLynne, you ignorant slut, just opening your mouth and yelling “Liberal bias!!!

I reckon Cheney’s wife knows what she wrote and what she didn’t write. If she states categorically that her books contained no explicit sex - and this was false - the news channels would have been full of explicit quotes by now.
The sniper video clip on CNN was a propaganda coup for terrorists. Why is there so little coverage by CNN of US troops out in the field, rather than all the Green Zone hotel balcony editorialising ? If you don’t recognise the endemic spin and moral equivocation in most of what CNN broadcasts - go read what Ted Turner was saying, he’s not sure what side he’s on. And how about Eason Jordan’s admissions of suppressing news from Baghdad, and then his resignation over false claims against the US military.

I just checked out the link at 53 - the link itself concedes that Cheney did not use sexually explicit language. Have you read the Webb stuff - totally explicit.
I happen to think it is all somewhat irrelevant anyway - but Cheney’s wife is not standing for office, Webb is. And the CNN interview was meant to be about her childrens’ book.
Someone asked about whether the UK military despise the BBC. In 2003 the sailors on HMS Ark Royal demanded that the BBC news service be switched off - they were sick of its bias and inaccuracyand anti-military spin. Its moral equivocation. I recall the lead BBC reporter in Baghdad saying that US troops were nowhere near the city - but you could see their tanks up the street behind him. Just like that caboe scene in NO after Katrina. This week senior execs at the BBC have admitted its systemic liberal bias - check today’s telegraph, or the mail or the Standard this past week - or the site BiasedBBC.blogspot.com

That is like saying showing the flag-draped coffins is aiding the enemy. Again, you want a sanitised version of the war. Very convenient if the war is based on strings of misrepresentations, and falsehoods.
Why is there so little coverage by CNN of US troops out in the field, rather than all the Green Zone hotel balcony editorialising ?
Well, because Iraq is not a safe place. Or do you believe that Washington DC is more dangerous than Baghdad? Please.
If you don’t recognise the endemic spin and moral equivocation in most of what CNN broadcasts - go read what Ted Turner was saying, he’s not sure what side he’s on.
I am not here to defend CNN -I hardly watch it as it is.
But it is a much better alternative than FoxNews. Scrap that. FoxNews is not even a choice: Fox is the official propaganda machine of the Republican Party.

Here we do get the flag-draped coffins, on their return to RAF Brize Norton. I don’t want the news sanitised - I want more news and less editorialising. And less cuddling up to the enemy. And far less staged photography.
If there are only 9 embedded reporters with the US military (and a lot of those are independent ?) - that’s the fault of the press. Too many journalists living in hotels in the safety of the Green Zone, FAILING to cover the conflict properly. Pretending to be war reporters when they are no such thing.

Comment by JohninLondon
Now see, John, that’s what I’m talking about. Greenspan is a republican crony. Over the past five years, most everyone here in America has refinanced their homes for cheaper interest rates. Most of Americans have now got much higher mortgages because they took the equity out and have been spending it on bills and bullshit. I heard one official state a week ago the equity lost amounts to well over two trillion dollars which is now debt.
Just what the hell do you think has been proping up the middle class here? Better wages? Better jobs? No, its home equity and credit. Are you aware that the average American’s savings are at a 50 year low and just how much credit card and other debt the average person here has is absolutley staggering?
As for the stock market: just because the oil companies and international corporations who make goods by exploiting cheap labor in the Far East, and then sell them to you Brits and other Europeans for a profit, that does NOT mean our personal economic lives here in America are doing good. It only means that Corporations on the DOW or NASDEQ are doing very well at America’s expense. Some of us are starting to wake up to that and we are really pissed about it, OK?
You need to get a clue, pal.

It would have helped if Mrs Cheney stayed on topic, instead of asking “Well, right, but what is CNN doing running terrorist tapes of terrorists shooting Americans?”

I just for the life of me cannot figure out what it is about this administration that some people simply will not give up. Numerous scandals, corruption, lies the size of Rush Limbaugh’s ass, misinformation, distortions, fraud, limitless waste, favoritism, cronyism, torture, a war based on the ramblings of a cabal of lunatics (PNAC) and a complete and total disregard for the constitution and bill of rights of this country. You admire that?! It amazes me that in the 21st century we still have incredibly gullible people that will follow George Bush no matter what he says or does.

The Internet makes it dead easy to keep reasonably in touch with events in the US, to check the news sites, the opinion polls, some of the blogsites that show what people are talking about. It was the fact that the Lynne Cheney interview was news that brought me to this site - I was trying to find the video of the Blitzer interview, found it here via Google.

It’s you, but you know it’s not you.
And I remember more than ‘mama’ talk….. undies color, etc, just to “git-em”!
Too funny!

I guess I really ought to watch the news now and then. That’s really not good. Monday morning - sell.

Only long enough to lure them in — then slap the shit out of them.

See - you’re funny!
My reply wasn’t nearly that good.
We could go on tour, me being the foible, of course…!

Too much, you two. :P
October 27th, 2006 at 10:06 pmOk friends, this is waaay off topic, but the relevant thread is buried and dormant, and I want to share this with you regarding the “Ticking time bomb/bin Laden/stakes” ad. A Democratic response:
Same ticking time bomb, Daily briefing “Bin Laden Determined to Strike United States” Bush, “Ok, you’ve covered your ass now.” FBI to Rice, the threat, on a scale of 1 to 10 is a 10. Rice’s denial of the meeting…Bush, reading “My Pet Goat” “the nation is under attack” Bush’s blank stare…. tick… tick… tick… Bush, “I’m just not that concerned about Bin Laden” … tick… tick… tick… NIE Report, the Iraq War has made us less safe… Bush’s blank stare… tick… tick… tick… It’s time to stop living in fear and start living in Peace. Vote November 7.

No way, I sound like Jerry Lewis, too. I’m sensitive.

I responded way back to some point you made.

You say your overseas investments are growing at some 4% a week ? At a compound rate that looks like trebling in a year. Aren’t you in the wrong game ?
The decline in house prices may simply be the froth being blown off a lot of house-price inflation ? Is that such a bad thing ?

Is that an actual ad, or an idea for an ad?
October 27th, 2006 at 10:10 pmNow, Zooey, wait til after the elections before you put that sign up.
Things could be looking up.
At least you don’t live on this God-forsaken rock that will be under water in 20 years!
October 27th, 2006 at 10:10 pm…..ahem. Excuse me. Real estate is a fine investment. Really.
Another thin-skinned bully, falsely righteous when anyone points out their hypocrisy.
October 27th, 2006 at 10:11 pmJohn, do you get that the middle class is quickly becoming obsolete and cannot invest in the stockmarket. Bully for the rich that can but for those of us that have to work for a living our wages are stagnant and costs are way up. Do you get that?
October 27th, 2006 at 10:12 pmSoooo is her husband having Iraqis waterboarded also?
They dont attack us on 911. We attack them. Then we waterboard them? How many Saudi Arabians have been water boarded so far?
October 27th, 2006 at 10:14 pmCut it out, Zooey!
You’re the star!
I called dibs on the ‘Gitmo cell’ with you and PLC on the first post today.
A guy took dibs with Joe Sixpack because, well, because he had a sixpack!
I said we’d have adjoining cells and have a great ‘ol TP time for ourselves.
Well, it was funny this morning….

I’m not selling my home, I’m talking about stock. It’s gone about as far as it’s going to go, I’m afraid. :)
