1. What a chickenshit. nt

[Tin Man]

14. My first thought, too...

...VP will appear in a staged, pre-recorded (i.e. edited) "interview" with Fox "news" channel. I wonder what type of pointed questions Brit Hume will ask. :sarcasm:

What a chickenshit chickenhawk.

[Cocoa]

2. FCC regulations

Pottymouth Cheney is required to be on tape delay.

[soothsayer]

3. Gots to get the lawyers to review it before he'll let it air, lest he

get himself into deeper doo-doo

[Jack Rabbit]

4. Live would be inappropriate for Cheney.

Cheney never seems live to me. He always seems undead.

[txindy]

5. I don't think the word "live" should be associated with Darth at any time

Snotty chooses interesting words to use, though! :rofl:

[Norquist Nemesis]

Of course not! It has to be Rove-stamped first. n/t

[thecrow]

6. Of course it won't. They've been editing all night

[leveymg]

7. I just love that Personal Message Icon!

Really captures Cheney and Rover's raison d'etre.

8. Chickenhawk

CBS also has a story up about this: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/02/15/politics/main1318704.shtml

9. mistake to do FOX first

everyone admits at this point that Fox is just a GOP front organization. he should have chosen russeet who probably would have cut him just as much slack as whomever will be shilling for him over at fox.

[dogday]

10. They will have to cut and paste to make him

look the best he can. Dead-Eye is going to look bad, just sitting there, he is such a scrooge face...

[mwb970]

15. He is spectacularly ugly, isn't he?

I think there should be warnings before he appears on TV so young children and small animals can be hustled out of the room.

[Catrina]

11. So, the VP is refusing to hold a press conference, Scotty? And it will

be taped so that Fox can erase any incriminating statements Cheney might inadvertently make? They'll need to compare it (with an army of lawyers present) with what has been said by Armstrong.

How dare they treat the people who pay their salary this way!! I hope CNN et al jump all over this. It is an attempt to slap the press in the face for daring to question his majesty at all, not to mention the public, who have a right to know why their VP spends an entire day killing little birds and ends it by shooting his friend ~

What happened to 'this is a nation of laws, not men' that was the mantra of the right throughout the 'nineties? He obstructs justice by refusing to talk to the local authorities and no one knows what time the accident happened at or long it took before the victim was taken to the hospital.

Also, who were the other people present? Why should their identities be kept secret? So symbolic of this administration. No wonder he is always in an 'undisclosed location'. This time they couldn't hide completely, what they were doing.

[Sugar Smack]

12. LOL! This is shocking, shocking, I tell you!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Bumblebee]

13. Another PR blunder which will only aggravate other WH reporters

He definitely cannot shoot straight.

[Blue_Roses]

16. well imagine that...

:eyes:

[lpbk2713]

17. Totally scripted and choreographed.

The assholes have no shame.
