Cheney to Emanuel: Control your VP
Posted: 05:10 PM ET

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Vice President Dick Cheney had some blunt — and humorous — advice for incoming White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel at a private breakfast earlier this month, CNN has learned.

"The best thing you can do is keep your VP under control," Cheney told Emanuel, according to three sources familiar with the White House meeting that had previously not been disclosed publicly.

One of the sources, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the private meeting, said the room broke up in laughter because of Cheney's reputation for being a hard-charging vice president.

The meeting was called by current White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten, who decided to bring together 13 of his predecessors in the top job from both parties to try to offer Emanuel some bipartisan advice.

1. Gag me with a spoon. n/t

[bdamomma]

2. Cheney that POS

should be in a cell, instead of giving his sick advice. What a POS he is!!

[acmavm]

3. This pisses me off more than anything I've seen on the internet or

in the media in a long long time.

This man is a traitor. This man is a liar. This man is a thief. This man is a murderer. This man is a torturer.

And he publically thumbed his nose at the entire community of civlized human being in this interview.

May that damn pacemaker blow up like a stick of dynamite.

4. fuck you, dick. nt

[gratuitous]

5. I hope the guards at Guantanamo tell the prisoners this one

I'm sure the folks there and the grieving survivors of U.S. aggression in Iraq and Afghanistan would appreciate a good joke like this one. Ho, ho, ho! Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle, chuckle. Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Ah, me.

6. JAIL 4 HIM

No more forgiveness an wait to see what happens Thanks Obama Take my plate off your lying table U got my vote an work 1 time!!!! never again Thanks 4 nothing

11. Yes and Mc Cain and Palin would be better...they would pick people

we really like...

[unkachuck]

16. "...they would pick people we really like..."

....probably wouldn't be much difference....

....on Obamas' cabinet, cheney said on GMA, "I must say, I think it's a pretty good team,"....

....now if cheney likes Obamas' team, how good could they really be?....and if cheney likes 'em, by definition, I should dislike 'em....

7. people are probably safe to go hunting with Emanuel ...

[LeFleur1]

9. Where Does This Bunch of Incompetents...

...get off giving anyone advice?

They nearly succeeded in only one thing they set out to do...bankrupt the country so there would be no social programs. There is a very long and clear list of their failures, no matter how much they spin them. Spin is just a word for lie in a different costume.

[UTUSN]

8. It's TRUE!1 That's what CHEENEE did with Shrub!1 n/t

[Roland99]

10. Cheney? "Cheney"

And you know what that means, vile piece of shit.

[Algorem]

12. Emanuel's taking Cheney's place,not Biden

[Piewhacket]

13. Rahm Emanuel shouldn't have come.

And I especially think it unwise for Josh Bolten and Dick Cheney to go
out of their way to piss off the new sheriff.
If y'know what I mean.

[fascisthunter]

14. Cheney... go find a hole and die

[LynnTheDem]

15. And make sure your VP endorses torture. That's what America is all about.

The real America; torture as official policy.
