Snow:"You think Dick Cheney's going to slip up on something like this?"

[Solly Mack]

Note the phrase "slip up"


White House denies Cheney OK'd torture

"Earlier, White House press secretary Tony Snow denied that Cheney had endorsed water boarding.

"You know as a matter of common sense that the vice president of the United States is not going to be talking about water boarding. Never would, never does, never will," Snow said. "You think Dick Cheney's going to slip up on something like this? No, come on."

Interesting word choice.

[Nickster]

1. "Who you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes and ears?" n/t

[Solly Mack]

5. Exactly.

and it's just "common sense" doncha know..so if you don't believe Snow, you're lacking in "common sense"

[Marie26]

2. "Slip up" = Reveal

Meaning Cheney would never reveal the actual, functioning waterboarding program. Good catch!

[Solly Mack]

4. That's how I read it. "Slip up"? hmmmm....

[wicket]

9. Me too

:kick:

[William Seger]

19. Naaah!

You think Tony Snow going to slip up on something like that?

[Solly Mack]

28. LOL!!!

[K8-EEE]

24. EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!

What a bunch of evil MFs....

[in_cog_ni_to]

3. LOL! TOO LATE Snowy! He's already revealed

your party's acceptance of it!:rofl:

They're losing their touch in the lie/spin/lie department. Dick needs to check-in with Snowy more often. Their scripts conflict.

Cheney WANTS us to know we do this. He said this for a reason. IMCPO, he's telling us, "we don't give a shit what Congress says, we will do what we want." It's another dare. There's a reason he admitted this, don't you think?

[Solly Mack]

6. Like another poster on another thread said: "They believe their own lies"

and they believe the lies that cover their lies and the lies that cover the lies that covered the other lies

and they insult every American by expecting the people to also believe those lies.

[hootinholler]

20. Not only did he already reveal it...

But you just confirmed it by saying that for Cheney to admit to it would be a slip-up!

-Hoot

[berni_mccoy]

7. HOLY SHIT! By calling it a "SLIP UP" He's ADMITTING IT WAS TRUE

Am I wrong on this?

[Solly Mack]

10. That's how I read it. Now, I could be nice and say Snow

just used a poor choice of words by accident - but I don't think so.

[Mr_Spock]

8. OMG!! Cheney really DID slip up - that fuckers gonna burn for this!!!

Thanks for admitting the "slip up" Mr. Snow you fucking RW retard.

[Solly Mack]

11. Exactly. People don't use "slip up" because there is nothing to hide

well, they don't tend to use it that way anyway.

Whenever I have had a "slip up" - it meant I screwed up somehow

[Mr_Spock]

12. He really did slip-up

Funny how they didn't realize it right away - I wish it was enough to get Cheney convicted of war-crimes, but it looks like he is denying it all now :(

[Solly Mack]

13. He did. He said what he should not have said

and the language used by Snow confirms that

Cheney let the cat out of the bag, so to speak

and Snow is trying to stroke the kitty back in

I wish it were enough to too...but they'll always deny everything and attempt to create reasonable doubt(cough cough) in the minds of people..and for some people, they would rather believe the lies and call them "doubt" than to know the truth. The truth can be scary if you've built your identity around believing certain things about people ...and political parties...and government

They want to believe "it can't happen here"

[Mr_Spock]

14. Investigative reporters dream come true!

I hope there is someone out there who wants to go down in history as an American hero.

This story is ripe for the picking!

[Stephanie]

23. "He slipped up" = how he got caught

It's the mistake that blows his cover.

[Solly Mack]

27. Yep

[Solly Mack]

15. kick OOPS!!! I mean nudge...yeah...nudge

I didn't say kick...I said I would nudge it

[Supersedeas]

16. What does OOPS mean---well, it means OOPS.

[Solly Mack]

17. LOL Exactly!!!

[Gold Metal Flake]

18. From the article, quotes from interview

http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/news/columni...

In the interview on Tuesday, Scott Hennen of WDAY Radio in Fargo, N.D., told Cheney that listeners had asked him to "let the vice president know that if it takes dunking a terrorist in water, we're all for it, if it saves American lives."

"I do agree," Cheney replied, according to a transcript of the interview released Wednesday. "And I think the terrorist threat, for example, with respect to our ability to interrogate high-value detainees like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, that's been a very important tool that we've had to be able to secure the nation."

"Would you agree that a dunk in water is a no-brainer if it can save lives?" asked Hennen.

"It's a no-brainer for me, but for a while there, I was criticized as being the vice president `for torture.' We don't torture. That's not what we're involved in," Cheney replied. "We live up to our obligations in international treaties that we're party to and so forth. But the fact is, you can have a fairly robust interrogation program without torture, and we need to be able to do that."

[leftofthedial]

21. the lies are so deep now

that even THEY can't keep them straight

[Stephanie]

25. it's true and there are too many people involved

the web is crashing down around them

[Solly Mack]

30. add to that their arrogance - they are just so comfy in their position

of power, they don't think anyone can touch them.

Cheney felt so safe to be in a friendly audience, he let it all out

I wonder now just how much he confesses when no one is taping his interviews.

[tsuki]

22. Yes. I think he is that arrogant. nt

[Solly Mack]

29. I do too

He felt safe and secure letting that "slip"

[Burried News]

26. Yeah 'deadeye' Dick would never slip up.

Wonder how Jim Baker's brother in law is doing?

[Solly Mack]

31. His "slip up" is huge - and one that should be shouted around the world

Cheney is now refusing to say what he "really" meant, though Snow insist he "really" meant something else

I'm betting Cheney is getting lessons from a linguist on the importance of how language can give you away.

[moondust]

32. Not a slip.

Rather, he's talking about it openly now that he thinks he is immune from prosecution.

[Solly Mack]

34. He felt safe saying what he did

He mostly certainly did

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. So will you confirm or deny that

the man aproved water torture?

My god, they are starting to get sloppy

[Solly Mack]

35. I thought it was rather sloppy all things considered

I think Cheney felt safe and beyond touch when he gave the interview. Maybe even felt it wouldn't get widespread play...OOPS! He probably talks about torture openly around his cronies all the time, so much so that he just didn't check himself this time.


And Snow fumbling like he did? WOW

[GeorgeGist]

36. Of course Cheney didn't slip up...

he just didn't considered that anyone, except Fascists, could hear him.
