By playing clips of the Lizard's recent attempts to disinform next to what her father and Busch actually said, Rachel shows how Cheney Inc's attempts to rewrite history are easy to dismiss. At 3:45 she starts the interview with Melanie Sloan about this:

Cheney told FBI no idea who leaked Plame ID
Summary of vice president’s 2004 interview with investigators released

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney told the FBI he had no idea who leaked to the news media that Valerie Plame, wife of a Bush administration critic, worked for the CIA.

An FBI summary of Cheney's interview from 2004 reflects that the vice president had deep concern about Plame's husband, Joseph Wilson, a former U.S. ambassador in Africa who said the administration had twisted prewar intelligence on Iraq.

Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, was convicted of perjury, obstruction and lying to the FBI in the probe of who leaked Plame's identity to the news media. President George W. Bush commuted Libby's 30-month prison sentence but rejected Cheney's vehement appeals to pardon Libby.

The 28-page FBI interview summary was released Friday to a watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

"For years the American people have wondered what role Vice President Cheney played in outing former CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson. While we may never know the whole story, with the release of these documents we are one step closer," said Melanie Sloan, executive director of CREW.

1. Hey it's the Obama era; can we stop calling the U.S "The Homeland"?

That was a bush term; prolly a nazi term as well. Drop it. Call it American Security.

[tomp]

13. absolutely! hate that term.

in addition to sounding so nazi-ish the dept of "homeland security" is, one would think, a redundancy with the dept of "defense". except that the dept of defense is in reality the dept of offense. but then, the dept of homeland security isn't making the homeland secure anyway. you see?

[izquierdista]

23. Security, security!

When you see some mall cop reject running around yelling "security, security!" you can be sure of two things: (1) trouble is coming from the exact opposite direction and (2) flatfoot is about to trample on your civil liberties.

[ihavenobias]

2. K & R. n/t

[safeinOhio]

3. Hey Liz

The current VP has offspring serving in the arm service. How come you didn't?

[CONN]

4. Wasn't Martha Stewart convicted of lying to officials from the FBI? (eof)

[davidhilton]

5. most everyone on this site, and ppl who watch rachel...

know ms cheney is a liar, so again rachel is preaching to the choir. i really dont believe the repub base ever watches rachel or clicks on the DU n/t

[Turborama]

11. "so again rachel is preaching to the choir"

What's your point? You think Rachel is trying to reach the "repub base" and it'd be better if she was on Faux instead?

If you are complaining about me posting it on DU, lots of DUers don't get MSNBC so this is a chance for them to get to see it.

BTW it's on YouTube, too, so there'll be plenty of opportunity for freepers to come and take a beating if that's what you're after.

[bjobotts]

12. Yes but more and more independents are opening up to the truth.as Rachel's rep is gaining notoriety

[SemperEadem]

15. this is for those swayable "independents"

an btw--an "independent" is a republican trying to hide from the vote they cast in 2004 that put us in the mess we're in.

[bjobotts]

6. Everybody in the Bush administration was told to say "I don't recall. I can't remember"

[bjobotts]

7. So they could all cover each other's ass like good crime families do.

[bjobotts]

8. Stop covering up for these unaccountable liars, murderers and traitors Obama & Holder

[bjobotts]

9. Please somebody have the guts to say "no more" to Liz Cheney appearances

[bjobotts]

10. The Cheney's are a shameful blithe on America.We don't want to hear from them again unless under oat

and on trial.

[mwb970]

21. A shameful blithe?

Proofread?

:shrug:

[WhoIsNumberNone]

17. Well it worked pretty well for Ronnie Raygun 20 years ago...

And would you say that since then the American people have gotten any less stupid?

[izquierdista]

24. The Ronald Reagan defense

They all want to emulate him -- forget everything except their bank balance.

[SemperEadem]

14. so cheney is basically telling all of us that he is a doddering old fool

and should never be believed about ANYTHING. Nothing.

He can't have it both ways. Either he's on the precipice of Alzheimer's or he's a liar. Either way, his word is shit and he cannot be believed--SO QUIT PUTTING HIS ASS ON THE AIR.

[BluDemocratGirl]

16. We ALL know that Dickhead doesn't know about the FBI, Plame ID, or nothing...

'cause he has been the invisible man for the past eight years.

[quark219]

18. Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?

Making up lies whenever it's convenient: sort of a family tradition, I guess.

[indimuse]

19. knr! n/t

[mwb970]

20. What an awful, awful family.

Wasn't Nixon bad enough? Wasn't Reagan bad enough? Or w bush? Now we have to put up with not one but two horrifically bad cheneys. Yuck!

[ginnyinWI]

22. I wonder what her approval rating is with the right.

If she's as low in ratings as her dad, let her keep on talking. It shows the GOP to be dishonest and petty.
