BLITZER: First of all, Jack, what did you make of Dick Cheney's interview today?

CAFFERTY: Well, I obviously didn't see it 'cause it hasn't been released in its entirety yet, but I -- I would guess it didn't exactly represent a profile in courage for the vice president to wander over there to the F-word network for a sit down with Brit Hume. I mean, that's a little like Bonnie interviewing Clyde, ain't it? I mean, where was the news conference? Where was the -- where was the access to all of the members of the media? I don't know. You know? Whatever.

BLITZER: You still think he needs to do a full-scale news conference in front of all of the cameras, all of the reporters, and ask whatever they want?

CAFFERTY: That's never going to happen. But, I mean, running over there to the Fox network to -- I mean that's -- talk about seeking a safe haven. He's not going to get any high, hard ones from anybody at the F-word network. I think we know that.

2. Really shows just what

a wimp Cheney really is. Our troops and innocent people are dying and he can't find the courage to even hold a press conference.

8. Love him or hate him - the Grumpy ol' man knows how to put things

to cut through the crap. He is like the obnoxious guy down the street - you may not always agree with him when he rants, but you sure do love it when that direct voice is on your side of the issue in an argument.

14. for more fun, take a look at some of the wingnut comments

in response to the MediaMatters story (click on the link in the OP and scroll down the page to "comments" then click "show").

15. Cheney ducks the press generally after hours of delay in reporting

the incident and when he does cave to pressue to talk he calls Britt "Sig Heil" Hume at FOX.

Yuck.
