1. Oh Snap!

Now go away Darth.

[billhicks76]

43. Don't Forget 911 Too

It happened on his watch and his office was specifically in charge of the Anti-Terrorism task forces.

[olegramps]

54. Hells bells: He sold the centrifuges to them at a big profit.

[napi21]

2. I'm surprised FOX actually asked him that!

Don't tell me they're TRYING to do a little bit of real reporting once in a while.

[MADem]

23. "Chris" who is often a Faux TOOL, must have been channelling his late Daddy Mike there! nt

[True Blue American]

47. Thank you

I was just getting ready to say Mike instilled some character in his son!

Thank you, Mike!

[Ccarmona]

3. Cheney Re-writing

History until it's the way he wants it, not the way it was.

[SusanaMontana41]

28. I guess Cheney forgot that we were there, too. n/t

[ion_theory]

57. This is the conservative way...

If the facts don't fit you world view, change the facts. And the American exceptionalism fundamentalist will blindly follow it because they don't think their leaders are capable of lying on that large of a scale.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

4. Chris Wallace's dad, the Ghost of Journalism Past, pays him a visit now and then.

[mahannah]

19. !

[mahannah]

20. Not often enough.

[packman]

5. Notice he has to have his keeper with him now

I guess to find his way back home.

[Snotcicles]

12. And you know she is collecting a paycheck, from somewhere for it. nt

[FlatBaroque]

18. It was Bring Your Lizard to Work Day n/t

[SusanaMontana41]

29. You owe a sincere apology to lizards. eom

[A Simple Game]

24. Keeper, that's cute and may even be what he calls his to daughter to her face, but...

I think she is spare parts in case the shipment from the Chinese prison can't get to him in time.

I can imagine a section in a Chinese, or some third world country, prison where a few prisoners after passing a few tests in the prison infirmary, are pampered with healthy and nutritious foods along with other amenities. They are probably the envy of the rest of the prisoners until once in awhile one of them mysteriously disappears.

[Stargazer09]

32. That's scary

But I can see that slimy bastard making those exact arrangements.

[A Simple Game]

45. The only reason he is still alive is because hell won't take him. n/t

[True Blue American]

48. Cheney

Is afraid to go after killing so many here. He fears what is in store for him.

I can not imagine any decent Journalist wanting to interview him.

I bet Andrea will be next.

[kairos12]

6. Iran centrifuges increased almost at the rate of profit for Haliburton's uncontested contracts in

Cheney's colossal blunder-Iraq.

[awoke_in_2003]

27. Blunder or design? nt

[CJCRANE]

30. It was probably Halliburton that supplied them.

That's the easiest way to get a monopoly: stick sanctions on a country, then let the insider corporations bypass them.

[valerief]

58. You mean, war-profiteering war in Iraq. nt

[SmittynMo]

7. This war criminal

needs to go to jail for life. Maybe then he'll shut the f up.

NO ONE cares what he says today. He's guilty as charged.

[bvar22]

16. Jail for Life is way too short for him.

The Cheney "Good-bye Tour"!!!

For Cheney, we should resurrect one of those old barred wagons that were used to display criminals in a ride around town. The locals would get rid of all their rotten veggies at this festival.

Lot of towns in the USA to cover.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

8. Chris Wallace used to be on NBC in the 80s....

Back then he was known to even criticize Reagan.

But then this happened....

[Snotcicles]

14. Wallace was probably in New York, Reagan probably in DC if they had been any closer

Reagan probably could have made the peacock fall too.

[arcane1]

9. He even LIES and claims it happened under Obama.

I'm rather astonished Wallace didn't let it go.

[tblue37]

10. Could you summarize what "this" is? We deafies can't gear the words. nt

[truebluegreen]

34. Discussing the Iran deal, Wallace made a point of

BushCo's lousy record regarding Iran:

Wallace pointed out that Cheney had eight years to deal with Iran's nuclear program and failed to do it.

"You and President Bush, the Bush-Cheney administration, dealt with Iran for eight years, and I think it was fair to say that there was never any real, serious military threat," Wallace noted. "Iran went from zero known centrifuges in operation to more than 5,000."

"So in fairness, didn't you leave -- the Bush-Cheney administration -- leave President Obama with a mess?" the Fox News host asked.


Of course, we all know that BushCo (President <cough> Cheney <cough> ) really wanted a reason to go after Iran, so they probably let the problem escalate on purpose ("Anyone can go to Baghdad. Real men go to Tehran." Senior Bush Official, May 2003).

[tblue37]

37. I meant could someone summarize what THIS video is about:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The recent interview with Cheney has been written up in articles, but this old video that, according to the person who posted it, supposedly explains why Chris Walalce left NBC has no article to clarify how or why it caused him to leave NBC.

[truebluegreen]

39. he's not talking about anything in particular,

but a sign or something fell off the wall in the middle of it, distracting him...some joke about "after the fall"? I don't know.

You're welcome (btw, that wasn't the video you replied to)

[tblue37]

40. Thanks. Since I was staring at CW's lips trying to read them, I didn't even see the sign fall down.

I assumed that the video was posted in seriousness to show something that CW had said or done that had cost him his NBC gig.

(I actually thought I had clicked "Reply" under the CW video.)

Oh, and BTW, thanks also for summarizing the video with the Cheney interview. That was a lot of work, undertaken graciously, and I appreciate it, even though it was the other video that had me puzzled.

Being so severely hearing impaired can make things difficult when they should be easy.

[truebluegreen]

41. No problem.

[SusanaMontana41]

11. What is up with Fox News? First Megyn Kelly, now Chris Wallace.

Has Trump alienated its audience?

[SusanaMontana41]

13. Why do news outlets insist on giving this war criminal a platform? n/t

[Efilroft Sul]

15. One anthrax-laced love letter is on its way to Fox News Sunday.

And Wallace should stay off of small airplanes, too. Can't have too many "truth-related" incidents like that get out to the zombies watching Fox.

[Jack Rabbit]

17. Neoconservative historical revisionism

Clinton was President until September 12, 2001, the day after the attacks. Bush and Cheney the came to power to clean up the mess Clinton made of the American empire. Since Iraq was responsible for attacks planned and carried out by terrorists in Afghanistan, Bush and Cheney took the America to war in Iraq, which was a just and noble cause to preserve the American empire. However, soon after the just and noble invasion of Iraq, Obama took power. His first act was to appoint Paul Bremer proconsul in Iraq, and Obama and Bremer really fucked things up.

If only Bush and Cheney had been in power longer than 2001 until 2003, things would be a lot better in our Middle East provinces. There would be no revolt against American imperial authority in Iran and Obama, a secret Muslim, would not have been able to organize ISIS. Cheney would like to take over the war since it appears to be too much for the loyal allies of Emperor Bush II, the House of Saud who wisely govern our protectorate in Arabia with an iron fist.

Anyone who questions this narrative will be rounded up, thrown unceremoniously into a cattle car and transported to the Bad Lands to work maintaining holy imperial nuclear weapons to use on heathen Muslims as a last resort if they don't turn over the empire's oil under their sand as we rightly demand.

[Midnight Writer]

21. Even here Fox lies in the graphic

It shows zero centrifuges in 2007. The correct date is 2001. And by closing with 2009, it leaves wiggle room to claim that all of these centrifuges appeared in Obama's first year.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

22. The FOX "News" audience is too stupid to realize 2008 wasn't Obama's first year either....

The election was in 2008 but it was a few weeks before Thanksgiving and Obama didn't actually start until the following year.

They just see 2007-2009, do the "math" in what can charitably called "their head" and arrive at the number "2008" and applaud themselves for solving that complex equation and think "Obama's first year, he's to blame" like a bunch of dumbasses.

[erpowers]

25. He Could Have Been Tougher

I think Chris Wallace let Vice President Dick Cheney off the hook. He could have pushed him to more firmly acknowledge that the number of Iranian centrifuges went up under the Bush/Cheney years. He also did not push harder with the idea that even after the Bush Administration went to war in Iraq, Iran build at least 5,000+ centrifuges. In addition, Wallace allowed Cheney to point out that the Obama Administration gave money to the Iranians to get them to the table. Wallace should have pointed out that the Bush Administration gave about $300+ million to Iraqi insurgants in order to get them to stop attacking American troops. I thought sure a Frontline episode said that the Bush Administration also gave Muktada Al Sadr about $300-$400 million to stop attacking American troops and to stop encouraging attacks on American troops.

[SusanCalvin]

26. A journalist doing his job!

Be still my beating heart!

[tavernier]

31. I still don't have the stomach to watch Chris

because I truly admired his father and found the son despicable. But if he had the guts to slap Cheney, even a little bit, I will give him kudos. Perhaps the ghost of Mike niggled at him a bit.

[Hissyspit]

33. Chris Wallace: Mr. Cheney, please get your talking points in line.

[colorado_ufo]

35. Blasted liar and historical revisionist.

No conscience whatsoever and greed without limit.

[merrily]

36. Historical revision is one of the most used items in the Republican toolkit.

Whole history books are written to that end.

[avaistheone1]

38. k&r

[barbtries]

42. i wanted to watch it.

i tried to watch it. cheney is like a zombie, he'll never die; everything out of his mouth is bullshit and the sound of it is unbearable.

[Enthusiast]

44. I liked the comments. Especially this one.

?w=600&h

[mdbl]

46. ROFL

Quit persecuting a good christian woman who is an elected servant to a secular government following the "only law she knows" (referencing the bible). You just can't make this crap up.

[True Blue American]

49. I Do Hope

You will forgive me. I borrowed your picture. That is too good to pass up.

[Enthusiast]

56. I borrowed it too, from someone.

[True Blue American]

61. I Am Sending

It Email, so it will get a lot of play

[AwakeAtLast]

51. My eyes! My eyes!

Holy crap, you cannot unsee that.

[malaise]

53. That is too freaking good

[progressoid]

55. Oh My Dog.

[valerief]

59. Love-love-love it!!!

[underpants]

63. I wish they could be in the same room...TODAY

They both belong in jail

[smirkymonkey]

66. LOL!

Ok, that actually made me spit out my water laughing!

[ck4829]

50. "Last throes... greeted as liberators.... last throes.... greeted as liberators"

Not going to help you this time Cheney.

[Enthusiast]

64. If we had justice someone would make create a polished cinematic event,

a movie, which depicted the entire horror of the Bush Administration, including Iraq, start to finish.

There are so many Americans that do not understand the depth of depravity we lived with under that Fascist regime.

The full story needs to be told starting with the stolen election.

[spanone]

52. a lying liar.

[libdem4life]

60. Kind of reminded me of Morning Joe. The buffoon and the adoring blond.

Smiling in wonder at the awesomeness of the man at their side. The only difference for me is that, on occasion, MJ has something cogent to say, but not much. Mika has to literally butt in to even get a partial sentence, then he talks over her. She must get paid a lot. Notice, he never really looks at her. Sorry about the rant...it's over.

[True Blue American]

62. Not Over

Until Joe is gone. My morning coffee is now tasteless, so I just turn the TV off, head for the YMCA.

Much better for me.

[libdem4life]

68. Yep. I even got rid of the TV but every now and again

someone posts a clip and I remember why !!

[Stuart G]

65. K and R...nt

[smirkymonkey]

67. I'm sorry, but shouldn't Cheney be burning in hell right

about now? How is he still even alive? I swear, the day that guy kicks it will be one of the happiest days of my life.
