CAVUTO: This is a Fox News alert. The lawyer accidentally hit by Vice President Dick Cheney suffering a mild heart attack this morning. Doctors say he’s doing just fine and could be released in a week. Meanwhile, the White House press corps again beating a dead horse as it tries to find out why they were not told right away about the Vice President’s hunting accident. Not one person bothering to ask, in the meantime, how Dick Cheney’s feeling about all this. After all, he’s a human being and injuring someone else in an accident can take a huge toll. With us now someone who knows the Vice President pretty well. Ron Christie is a former Cheney advisor and author of Black in the White House. Good to have you back my friend.

---SNIP---

CHRISTIE: Dick Cheney is a very nice man, a very warm individual. From the opportunity, and as I talk about it in my book Neil, the opportunity to work on his staff you get to work with him very closely and get to see what sort of person he is. He’s a very caring person. Obviously one of his friends was involved in a rather unfortunate accident this past weekend. I’m quite certain that the vice president is very concerned and you have seen the statement that was released earlier today that the vice president continues to call his friend and to check up on his condition and right after the accident the vice president went to the hospital. It’s a very warm, very caring guy. He’s doing exactly what I would expect he would be doing.

CAVUTO: Do you think he should be talking more about this? Should he have come out himself and said something?

CHRISTIE: No, I don’t. Why? I mean, his office has already released a statement. The vice president had the opportunity to speak with the owner of the ranch. The sheriff was on site who was also there to make sure that nothing improper had happened, which, of course, it didn’t. The vice president is a very forth coming guy but this was a private accident. This was a private event. I think there is a tempest and a teapot going on in Washington right now.

He won't admit it but he'd probably like to go hunting again next weekend with a buddy who's not stupid enoough to get himself shot, jeez.

29. Cavuto: "No one bothered to ask how Richard Speck felt." *

[calimary]

35. "No one bothered to ask how Adolf Hitler felt."

Or that poor, beleaguered Pol Pot.

Or Joseph Mengele.

Or Richard Ramirez.

Or Idi Amin.

Or any of 'em...

Poor misunderstood little darlings...

[hwmnbn]

4. Hey this guy Christie is on EVERY show.......

on Fox now. I wonder if he'll make the next cut on American Idol.

I'm thankful he's on because he's not that great a spokesman. His rhetoric can be disrupted by informed commentary from the dem side..

[SeveneightyWhoa]

Not just that..

..but I find him quite creepy. He's a little robotic, and he seems like nothing more than a "tool". I'm really quite sure a guy like him won't change any minds.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

5. How's he feeling?

Evil and dead inside. But a bit moreso than usual since he hasn't been blown by Cavuto in a few days.

[Jack from Charlotte]

30. Cavuto: "No one bothered to ask how Charles Wittman felt." *

6. Where did Faux find Cavuto? He is the most stupid & inane person on Faux.

BTW, I don't care how Cheney's feeling. I hope he feels really, really bad but he probably doesn't.

I'm thinking about how the poor man he shot is feeling and how the man's family is feeling. :(

[LondonReign2]

12. The Toad used to be on CNBC.

n/t

[centristo]

7. more talking points

I've seen the term "tempest in a teapot" in at least three other conservative retorts to this Cheney shooting. Do these people ever think for themselves?

BTW, thanks for posting this.

Cavuto, this one's for you:
:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[stopbush]

8. "...and it proves how Cheney has alienated everybody, including Rs."

That's what Cavuto meant, didn't he?

[LaurenG]

9. Maybe NO ONE gives a flip Neil/ (Neal?) nt

[LondonReign2]

10. I despise Neil "Toad" Cavuto

I know Colbert suppossedly lampoons O'Reilly, but I swear it is Toad's pompous mannerisms that he most closely parodies.

[edbermac]

11. I heard Hitler was feeling very upset about the Holocaust...

:sarcasm:

[NanceGreggs]

13. Did anyone see former senator Alan Simpson ...

... on Larry King last night?

Came on to talk about his 'good friend', Dickie. Same garbage about how no one is taking Cheney's feelings into account - says he's very distraught over what happened.

Also said he doesn't understand why this is front page new -- "It's not like Vice President Cheney was the ONE WHO WAS SHOT," he said. In other words, Whittington's injuries (possibly fatal) shouldn't get the same outpouring of interest ...

Also said that he'd spoken to the 'regular people' of his state -- and I quote, "the great UNWASHED, if you will" -- and their concern, every last one of them, was that the media was making way too much of this.

In short, his arrogance (so like Cheney's) and his remarks did nothing but dig ol' Dickhead's hole that much deeper ... just the kind of 'friend' Cheney deserves!

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. Not to be crass, but who gives a rat's ass how he feels.

And besides, that man is incapable of having "feelings"

[MrBenchley]

15. Recoil hurt your hand, Dick?

[bigscott]

18. what is up with

the eyes?? they are freaky - and last time i checked cheney SHOT wittington - who gives a flying fuck how CHENEY is feeling - the man i dead inside already anyway

[MrBenchley]

20. Right wing spin...it's the victim's fault he got shot

and poor Deadheart Dick is the real victim here....(snicker)

[StClone]

25. Recoils that kill?

Wonder if Dick were to experience recoil on his chest (it happens) could his heart machinery malfunction?

[Voltaire]

16. I hate that Christie guy

I hope I never run into him. Stupid ass.

[wicket]

17. Isn't that something the right-wing always accuses liberals of?

Of being too mindful of others "feelings". What a hypocrite! :nopity:

[BOSSHOG]

19. cheney "a very warm individual" - what is that, comedy central?

YO CAVUTO, CHENEY DOES NOT HAVE A HEART AND HAS NO FEELINGS. HE IS AN EVIL BASTARD WHO DID HIS DAMNDEST NOT TO SERVE HIS COUNTRY, DRANK HEAVILY AS A YOUNG MAN AND FUCKED THE AMERICAN CONSUMER WITH HIS TIES TO BIG BUSINESS. DOES THAT EXPLAIN IT CAVUTO.

[Jacobin]

21. Yeah! I mean, has he washed the blood off his clothes yet?

I mean, like, blood can STAIN a good hunting jacket and it might not come off his boots!!!

:nopity:

[Ganja Ninja]

22. Nothing is more depressing than not bagging your limit.

:cry:

[ClusterFreak]

23. Cheneysgotagun is a "very warm, very caring guy"??

Uh huh.

He's Darth Vader with a pacemaker.

[Rocknrule]

37. No

He's Darth Sidious. Darth Vader, unlike Cheney, was a good guy deep down.

[Bridget Burke]

28. Nobody's been able to ask Cheney any questions at all.

A "very warming, very caring guy." Let's have some of what he's smoking!

[Auntie Bush]

31. Well that's because nobody cares. Simple fact!

[July]

32. Cheney has feelings?!!!!!

That's news in and of itself.

[xkenx]

33. Poor Widdle Cavuto, Poor Widdle Cheney, Boo Fuckin' Hoo

[truthisfreedom]

34. a "tempest IN a teapot" perhaps. ask him if he was drinking after lunch,

after the one beer he admits to. make him lie about being drunk. MAKE HIM LIE.

[Rocknrule]

36. If Cheney ate a baby on live TV

they would be worried about him having indigestion
:argh:

[0007]

38. Was that cross eyed black dude on comedy central as a comic?

What's his name.
