Wolf Blitzer Calls Out Lynne Cheney For ‘Sniping At My Patriotism’

[CatWoman]

On Friday, Lynne Cheney repeatedly attacked CNN for having a liberal bias during a combative appearance on the Situation Room. At one point, she criticized CNN for “running terrorist tapes, terrorists shooting Americans” and asked Wolf Blitzer, “Do you want us to win?” She also repeatedly asked Blitzer to end his line of questioning and focus on her new children’s book.

Today on CNN’s Late Edition, Blitzer said he was “surprised” at Cheney’s “sniping at my patriotism,” and pointed out that CNN had specifically labeled the tape of a U.S. soldier under fire as terrorist “propaganda.” He also said that CNN had made clear to Cheney’s staff “only hours before the interview” that she would be asked questions about politics during her appearance, not just about her children’s book.

1. She is a hateful evil skank

I watched that interview this morning. I wanted to reach through the TV and slap the shit out of her.

[rooney]

8. Maybe Wolf will catch on that they just question your

patriotism if you don't say or do what they want. Sounds as though he was a little upset with Lynn. HE HE

[tularetom]

2. That was the first hint I've seen in 10 years

that Wolfe Blitzer actually has a spine. Cheney is really a nasty piece of work.

[originalpckelly]

14. I know, when did Wolfie grow balls?

Maybe he stole them from Mrs. Cheney.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

3. Hopefully this actually has an effect on Blitzie.

He can tow the GOP line and present all of their talking points, but at the end of the day, these people (i.e. the Cheery Ol' Cheneys) couldn't give less of a damn. Blitzer's still a traitorous "liberal" in their eyes. :rofl:

4. Wolfie, if you're not with them, then you're with the terrorists.

Been having nice nap under a rock for the last 6 years?

[MadMaddie]

5. Oh Wolf....it's too bad you didn't see the freight train coming

you did their bidding so well....and when you dared to ask a serious questions they kicked you to the curb....you get what you deserve..

[BattyDem]

6. “Do you want us to win?”

That's their new bullshit line. I'd expect that kind of question from a bratty, five year old - not from the wife of the Vice-President! :eyes:

The question is no longer, "Do we want to win?" The question that rational, intelligent people should be asking is, "Can we win?"

[Ned_Devine]

13. I noticed that too

That's the new talking point "unanswerable" question. You can't give a nuanced answer to it either. That's how these pieces of shit (and I feel bad for actual fecal matter saying that) frame the debate. Just like little kids on the schoolyard. Effing repulsive!

[Johnyawl]

17. oh, it's answerable...

"Do you want us to win!?"

"Define 'winning'!"

[Mnemosyne]

21. And you know things are bad when

you feel the need to apologize to shit.

Welcome to DU Ned_Devine!:hi: How incredibly strange that not insulting shit can be an actual conversation nowadays and it seems normal under the current regime.:rofl:

mad world.

[Obamarama]

7. Do you think if we sprayed Lynn with Diflucan it would help???

For those who don't know, Diflucan is an antibiotic to clear up vaginal yeast infections.

[flordehinojos]

9. o, did she step on the wolfman's one good nerve?

why the nerve of him!! he knwos how to dish it out but doesn't know how to take it?

well... there wolfie. now you know what it feels like.

will you learn from it and turn yourself around towards truth and true patriotism?

or, will you vent out you frustration about lynne cheney on any true patriot truthteller?

it is not fun when they step on your last one good nerve, is it?

[filer]

10. Just to add to the chorus...

What'd you you expect, Wolfie? These people aren't nice.

[JitterbugPerfume]

11. she is one evil (word I will not utter)

but it rhymes with witch, but I must say that Wolfie deserves it for carrying their water for so long

[Gabi Hayes]

12. too bad, Leslie. now you know what it's like to be used up like the

aging whore that you are

[donco6]

15. Her Eminence was not used to such treatment.

Evil harpy.

[terry4kerry]

16. of course she is hateful...

Of course she is hateful look at her husband! You would have to be completely void of emotions to excuse and live with the actions of a man like Dick Cheney.

Who would want to read her children books? I wouldn't let my kid read anything from the writings of her!

[goforit]

18. Playing with evil people will get your hands burned, watch it Wolf.

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. So now he knows what that feels like?

boohoo!

[TankLV]

20. Oh you whore leslie - tell it to someone who cares...

WE certainly don't!

You get what you give out...

You've got a lot of commuppance commin!

Pass the popcorn - I'm gonna enjoy this!
