Cheney overheard in Iraq: ‘Kick the press out.’
“Once safely ensconced in Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone, however, Cheney appeared to reserve his toughest language for his normal target — the press. Cheney held a lot of photo ops with key Iraqi leaders like Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, but was adamant about not taking questions. At one point, Cheney emphasized to the assembled journalists that ‘this is just a photo spray.’ Later in the day, as reporters filed into an embassy conference room for another photo of Cheney they overheard him tell his staff ‘then we kick the press out.’”
UPDATE: From a pool report: “Around 5:20 p.m. (local) there was a distant explosion that rattled windows at the building where the VP and the press corps are working today.”

Why kick the press out, they are up Cheney’s butt.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:24 amHey Dick.
You work for the American People! You have no right to kick out the Press. I am so tired of your Secret Energy Commission hearing, and now this. You sir are a liar, a War Profiteer, and an overall scumbag of a human.
Have a nice day
May 9th, 2007 at 11:25 amYes, kick the press out!!!! We would win this in seconds if the stupid press wasn’t around….
Anyways, heard Obama, 10,000 people died in Kansas. I take it that they don’t teach honesty or math in Harvard Law school, eh? thinkprogress.org would be all over this story if Bush had made such a ridiculous mistake.
and heard about John Edwards working for hedge funds. The man that would do away with poverty is rich beyond believe. Thanks to the fact that he was and is a sleeze ball of a trial lawyer. IN other words an ambulance chaser.
how truly sad for the Democratic Party.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:27 amCheney’s Leer & the Glint on the Cross
Among all of Dick Cheney’s distasteful contorted facial expressions the one that was most chilling and evil, which I wish that I had not seen, was the leer he transmitted to a GOP faithful audience when he disclosed that AQ in Iraq now numbers fifteen thousand.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:27 amHis leer fully transmitted that he used the propaganda lies, that AQ was connected to Iraq, to get our guns and oil companies into Iraq. It also transmitted the, to him, deliciously evil twist that the lie has now morphed into the truth.
That AQ is now several thousand strong in Iraq is a grotesque result of the pathetically naive Neocon misadventure. It’s also a plank in their arguments that we need to stay.
“The dolts, (meaning the American public and the MSM), don’t have a clue as to what evil we will employ to accomplish our goals,” is what the leer beams to the mightiest of the Bush base.
…as the sunlight flickered on the cross in his lapel…

“Around 5:20 p.m. (local) there was a distant explosion that rattled windows at the building where the VP and the press corps are working today.â€

Hello, the American people are NOT the press. Who does the press work for? what good has the press done for America? who watches over the press? No one elected the press, no one elected news anchors.
yes, kick out the press, kick them out as retard Geraldo Rivera was kicked out for giving away troop positions.
the media is hindering our Iraq War effort. The media is for the terrorists and against our soldiers.
Just like in Vietnam, the media was for the viet-cong and against America.
Amazing that so many on the left love the press, since they are a bunch of filthy rich, spoiled coroporate brats.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:29 amScroll down the troll.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:31 amWhat’s a “photo spray”, Dick?
May 9th, 2007 at 11:33 amIs that like a spray of bullets?
Or a spray of blood when a bomb goes off?
Or in the emergency room?
Or is it simply the spray of oil from your true goal?
Amazing that idiots love the president and the Republican cronies so much, and will bark when they say bark, since they are a bunch of filthy rich, spoiled corporate brats.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:33 amThanks to the fact that he was and is a sleeze ball of a trial lawyer. IN other words an ambulance chaser.

Comment by Valiantthehater — May 9, 2007 @ 11:27 am
Personal injury attorneys are ambulance chasers. Edwards is a malpractice attorney. When somebody you know has a baby that dies because of gross errors of the doctor, remember to tell them that shit happens. When your parents die because a doctor can’t be bothered reading a chart and gives them the meds that kill them, oh well.
That’s right Edwards is rich, Bush and Cheney are poor?
May 9th, 2007 at 11:35 amThe Media is being paid by Iranian and Saudi agents. Hence the Pro-Muslim tilt in the press.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:35 amHence the silence on Islamic violence in Thailand!
How come TP doesn’t post anything about the Jihadi Mickey Mouse Fafur?
Or the terror busts yesterday?
TP is clearly a Pro-Jihad site as many posters have praised Al-Qaeda and Hizb’Allah.
I hope Homeland Security is monitoring this site.

Juanito, you believe in Marxism, but live like a capitalist. You fit well with the Democratic Party of the USA.
Kerry, Edwards, the Clintons, Pelosi (who doesn’t hire union workers), Moore, Franken, etc all trash capitalism. They claim that capitalism is bad for you and me. Yet, they live like capitalists, filthy rich beyond believe.
Yes, the Democratic Party, do as they say, not as they live.

May 9th, 2007 at 11:38 amhow truly sad for the Democratic Party.
Comment by Valiantthehater
How truly sad that so many idiots still believe that there is any real difference between the Republicans and Democrats.
Politicians of both parties are members of the wealthy elite and do nothing but look out for the interests of their own kind.
The rest is all just theater for the masses to consume and get wrapped up in, via a divide and conquer strategy perpetrated by the elite.
To think otherwise is idiocy.
Wake up folks.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:38 amI thought the Administration was angry that the press wasn’t giving the full story… you know.. the GOOD SIDE to the Iraq war.
So why kick the press out? You should embrace them. Make friends with them, and give them the good side of the story.
But I guess they will treat the press like they treat the war. In the war, they don’t even CONSIDER diplomacy. And it seems they won’t consider that when dealing with the press either.

He probably has a Che poster and is upset he’s 40 years too late!
He’s a rich pathetic loser like most Leftists!
By a declaration of rights, I mean one which shall stipulate freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of commerce against monopolies, trial by juries in all cases, no suspensions of the habeas corpus, no standing armies. These are fetters against doing evil which no honest government should decline.
- Thomas Jefferson
Now that guy…he was smart. Dick Cheney on the other hand is an asshat.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:42 amTrolls are living proof that a diet of dingleberries and smag will adle the brain. Or perhaps the lack of oxygen from having their head up their asses for so many years.
Blame the press for not towing the Repugnicunt line, that’s it. If the press would only lie more, the people would not give them such a hard time over their ruination of the country.
It’s all over now Baby Blue, we are going to kick the living shit out of the R’s in the next election.

Comment by Valiantthehater — May 9, 2007 @ 11:29 am
Out of curiousity, which media outlet do you get your news from? By the sounds of it, it must be FoxNews. Am I correct? I suppose you give them high marks for their ‘accurate reporting’ and ‘fair and unbiased’ reports.
And, by the way, please site your source that “Amazing that so many on the left love the press, since they are a bunch of filthy rich, spoiled coroporate (sp) brats.” Besides sources, are you referring to ‘they’ as the press or the left?
Are you even aware of the political leanings of most CEOs? Do you know that GWB was born with a silver spoon up his ass? And, as for Dick, do you know how much he is worth? What about former Defense Secretary Rumsfeld? And, Murdoch!? I suppose you consider him a ‘leftist’ media hound?
Hypocrisy still shines bright in the Conservative, Republican camp!

You are a fricking lunatic. You stereotype me (and many others on here) because I am asking you for your sources of information and because I disagree with your ignorant rantings. You miss the subject matter of most posts that disagree with you. You seem incapable of providing any substantive responses and PLEASE look at your own comments. You label me as LIBERAL because I am asking for you to show some substance and proof of your rantings. I have no where indicated my political leaning. I have only taken issue with your worthless, pointless remarks and with your obvious (apparently except to you) hypocrisy.
Hypocrisy at its worst. You accuse ME of sterotyping. Do you want me to go back and quote every single one of your postings where you slam people because they disagree with you? You bigot! You insult JUAN C and actually begin your post trying to write in Spanish. Every one of your posts is a bigoted, hypocritical remark. Are you that shallow and such a fool not to see what you spew is the same as what you blast others for doing?
What an idiot!

Beacuse as a Moderate Democrat I’m upset that the George Soros and his Pro-Jihad ilk are taking over my party! Most Dems are patriotic Moderates who detest Islamo-Fascism. We want out of Iraq so the Jihadists destroy each not because we sympathize with the Iraqis like you losers.
May 9th, 2007 at 12:02 pmEither way us Moderates will prevent you losers from taking over.
It was us Moderates that won the elections by taking Red districts.
Not you radical Jihad loving loons.

Sorry kid, I never go away. Hey, what do you think about the Democratic Pary using fear to get you to agree to Global Warming? Or using fear to get you to agree that President Bush is bad? Using fear to get you to dislike Christians? using fear to get racial tension going in the USA.
So, like a good Liberal who hate it when the Republicans use fear, but you embraced and react to the fear and smear from the Democratic Party.
how truly sad for the Democratic Party that they have you as a member.

George Bush’s grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany. http://www.guardian.co.uk/ usa/ story/ 0,12271,1312540,00.html

Now I’m going to disagree with you.
“? using fear to get racial tension going in the USA. ”
May 9th, 2007 at 12:30 pmIt’s the Republicans who use race to divide people.
Nobody cared about Hispanic immigrants before Tom Tancredo and his minutemen punks staterd realing about Mexican illegals.
Why don’t they rail against Muslim illegals?
Why don’t they talk about securing the Canadian borders?
It was 19 Muslims not Mexican that did 9/11, yet the GOP whips up anti-Spanish attitudes!
The Republicans except for in Texas and Flordia are Anti-Hispanic!
They kiss up to Muslims and call it the religion of peace!
That’s why I’m a Democrat.
At least they don’t ahet Hispanics.
Granted White Northern Blue Collar Union Democrats are more Racist than the average Republican, but the leadership is Pro-Hispanic.
Can I still picture Valienttheshiteater self-flagellating with the pointy end of a crucifix though?

After twisting some arms to get that oil ‘deal’ I wonder if he’s off to see him Saudi friends?

May 9th, 2007 at 1:07 pmOops. Is Cheney still in the Green Zone or has he snuck out already? They can shoot down helicopters now, you know, and they can also lob missiles into the Green Zone. Whose idea was it to have a photo “spray†in the Green Zone and what were they thinking? Idiots.
Valiant Venus has no penis
May 9th, 2007 at 1:10 pmAnd changed her name to Hater
There’s no more room for Valiant Venus
Cause her clit loves her Pater.
Too bad the bomb wasn’t just a tad bit closer!
May 9th, 2007 at 1:10 pmHave I been outed for being an inny, Zooey? :)
May 9th, 2007 at 1:21 pmThanks for the dodge to help cover my tracks, I couldn’t have created a better one if I’d tried..
I’m outa here, got an assignment.
If there’s a fire in the Sawtooths (reciprocating the dodge:)
I’ll holler down from the line.
Peace to all, especially the trolls.
“Too bad the bomb wasn’t just a tad bit closer!”
I agree!
May 9th, 2007 at 1:21 pmHey Valient: How’d you do in you English as a Second Language classes? Bummer.

May 9th, 2007 at 1:23 pmWhat ? There was no petal-strewn path on which he could stroll into Baghdad?
May 9th, 2007 at 1:26 pmInto our fifth year of this quick war that would sustain its own costs, with minimal effect on us, CHeney has to sneak into Iraq with no advance notice lest he be attacked.
The lying bastard with no soul, a steel heart, and big pockets to fill with ready cash is in Baghdad — just another day of affliction for its citizens.
PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS.
PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS.
PLEASE!!

Stay safe, Raven — keep Idaho from burning! Thanks!
May 9th, 2007 at 1:39 pmNobody tried to blow up Pelosi, but now TWO TIMES, Cheney has had a target on his head while in the Middle East.
If Dick would just stay there, we wouldn’t have to fight them over here…
May 9th, 2007 at 1:51 pmYou know you are right, we ALL NEED TO IGNORE THE TROLLS, if you see their posts, don’t read it, skip over it, don’t respond ever, they are repulsive subhumans who do not deserve a responce to anything they post.
Join the IGNORE THE TROLL SCUM CLUB today.
I will join, but I sure loved putting them down.
May 9th, 2007 at 1:58 pmCheney was kissing Malikis Feet today and asking please sign the Oil PSA’s NOW - so I can go back to America and tell the good ol people we won that way we get elected again please please please Maliki sign
May 9th, 2007 at 2:05 pmWell, if you want Iraq to have a chance at freedom, you don’t want to broadcast your plans to the enemies of freedom.
May 9th, 2007 at 2:18 pmI truly enjoy the comments, tips and information I get from the informed posts on TP — I am extremely annoyed that trolls run rampant here, adding nothing to the discourse, but throwing out ad hominem attacks, irrelevant comments and venomous hyperbole.
So I am joining the IGNORE THE TROLL SCUM CLUB AND I hope everyone else will do so.
BF - I know it’s fun to put them down, but they run for hours on one reply.
May 9th, 2007 at 2:27 pmWell, if you want Iraq to have a chance at freedom, you don’t want to broadcast your plans to the enemies of freedom. Comment by paul — May 9, 2007 @ 2:18 pm
Spoken with true Nazi doublespeak. You have to take away people’s freedoms to protect their freedom! Hitler used the same justification paul - aren’t you proud of your *values*?
May 9th, 2007 at 4:29 pmWell, if you want Iraq to have a chance at freedom, you don’t want to broadcast your plans to the enemies of freedom.

Then why did Bush announce his splurge well before he could get the troops in place? He announced right after they stalled and ignored the ISG, knowing full well the splurge couldn’t be finished until sometime in June.
‘Bush appointee thinks Hispanic people are lazy!’
‘Americans think the Vice President is crazy!’
May 9th, 2007 at 4:38 pmYou know this whole problem, and many others, would go away if the Constitution was adheared to. We wouldn’t even BE in Iraq, or Afghanastan,or many other places either. By congress not DECLARING war Bush became a DICTATOR when he sent our troop there.
May 9th, 2007 at 8:42 pmJoker must be mexicano and “Valiant” (cobarde more likely) must be a cuban-exile of the first generation which was kicked out by the cuban revolution or one of their descendants. If they knew something about “hispanic culture”, they should know that without the more-or-less 800 years of islamic occupation in Spain, there would not be any “hispanic culture”, nor spanish language for that matter. I’m sure the old goth word for pillow would be harder to pronounce than “almohada”. ;)
Es una pena que estos dos payasos se llamen “latinos”. They’re good at smokescreens while Cheney continues to get richer every day.
May 9th, 2007 at 8:59 pmObama made a mistake.. you do all the running around.. talking to people.. hustling to make it happen.. and keep your mind on every word you speak. c’mon.. obama is smart and probably the most decent your going to find in politics now… so let it go.. listen at least to who he may be.. k
May 9th, 2007 at 9:05 pmMaybe he should kick out the press so the press start working for the people too instead of covering up Washington bullshit.
May 9th, 2007 at 9:27 pmregarding the 5:20PM update: Did the Bush-friendly press help Cheney and the other clowns change their underwear, or were they too busy changing their own while reporting more lies about the great progress in never-never land?
May 9th, 2007 at 9:44 pmI think everyone is a hypocrite and we are all the same; we all have the same problems, mainly we need to learn to share and tolerate others. Valiant, you are a troll.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:18 pmI think the industry term for a “photo spray” is “moneyshot.” Like most er, actors, in these films, the press is supposed to lap up the opportunity–talking is wholly unnecessary (moans are acceptable, though).
May 10th, 2007 at 11:52 amKick the media out, claim victory, nobody will ever know the difference then they can go after Iran’s oil. Brilliant!
May 10th, 2007 at 1:16 pmVP Cheney “had other priorities” that kept him out of the Vietnam War which cost 58,000 Americans their lives. Making money must have been high on that list of priorities. Yeah, let’s kick the press out, DICK.
