<snip>

CAVUTO: Your wife, Mr. Vice President, created a little bit of a stir in an appearance on a rival news network last week, taking exception to the way that network portrayed the economy, the government, that things are going to hell in a hand-basket. I'm sort of paraphrasing here. Actually, she was much more — much more to the point that I'm being.

What did you think of that?

CHENEY: I thought it was great. We refer to it around the house as the "slap-down."

And she was very tough, but she was very accurate and very aggressive. And, of course, she was in the business for a while. There was a time, on that network, when she used to host the show they had on for a long time called "Crossfire," on Sundays for a couple of years. So, she spoke her mind, and I thought it was perfectly appropriate.

1. I agree, she got slapped down.

[lebkuchen]

2. "Spoke her mind?" I thought she'd lost it.

I would have loved to have been in Wolfie's chair to set her straight.

3. "Very accurate"

:rofl:

[originalpckelly]

7. Well he was being "very accurate" when he said the insurgency was...

in its last throes. Just like Brownie was doing a "heckuva job." Just like John Snow wasn't leaving and was doing a "fine job." Just like Rumsfeld is "the best thing to happen to the Pentagon in 25 years." Just Karl Rove wasn't involved in plamegate. Just like there was no insurgency. Just like Iraq had WMD. Just like no one could have foreseen 9/11. Just like Bush won Florida (and Ohio.)

4. Sending Mr. Lynne Cheney to defend....

...Vice President Dick "Pussy" Cheney says a lot more to me. Hey, Five Deferment, shoot any friends in the face lately? Don't worry, fucknuts, John Conyers will take real good care of you real soon, you fucking shit stain.

5. Did Cavuto have to get off his knees to ask the question?

Good lord, what a bunch of softballs over there at FAUX.

[Guaranteed]

6. Yeah! Slap down that liberal-ass, DLC corporate news network!

When I hear the umbrage from Repukes re CNN, I just have to laugh.

[waiting for hope]

8. Crossfire........

Hmmm, anyone remember Jon Stewart on Crossfire? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpO2U-mXvsk&mode=related&search=
I think it wasn't too long after this they canned the program. :shrug:

Lynne Cheney will have to be very aggressive, especially after 2008 when she's looking for a job to support herself and her family.

[Marr]

9. I think Cheney really believes the media is liberal.

That's how extremely right wing he is.

10. "Meltdown" is more like it...and if he had any sense or decency he'd be embarrassed for her. n/t

11. Wonder what she will do when she isn't 2nd Lady anymore?

she won't get a job on CNN
