Dick Cheney On ABC's "This Week": What He Should Be Asked


Musing on the GOP's recent efforts to provide unhinged fearmongering in the War on Terror, Spencer Ackerman took a look at the players in the game and wryly asked: "who really are the next GOP foreign-policy and national security voices? We're seeing the scrubs suiting up." This was a pretty apt observation, given that the leading voices for the past few months have been nobodies like Kit Bond, Pete Hoekstra, and Susan Collins.

But this weekend, on ABC's This Week, former Vice President Dick Cheney returns, yanked from retirement like a creaky, neo-con Bret Favre, hoping to dazzle the media with his grizzle before throwing a few wobbly balls downfield.

The big question: will ABC News be the organization to rightly put Cheney's pants on the ground? If things run true to form -- by which I mean, if they resemble the fawning, gaga-eyed approval of Politico -- it's likely to be an uncritical affair. But if it were me in the interviewer's seat, here are the defensive fronts I'd show Cheney, in the form of twelve questions that are just too good to ever be asked. ... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/13/dick-cheney-on-abcs-this_n_461126.html

6. Hey Dick

Bush appointed you head of Terror early in 2001.
How did you miss stopping the hijackers on 9/11?

Given that the CIA knew - and told Bush - that AQ was going to attack the US with airplanes, how come you utterly and completely failed to do anything to stop AQ?

18. What should he be asked?

I'd want them to ask that low life, four flushing testa di cazzo if he could explain why he should not be serving multiple life sentences for treason at ADX Florence? I'd want them to ask Cheney to give us one good reason why the U.S. shouldn't haul him in front of the Hague.

[Webster Green]

19. He should be asked to STFU!

Then remove his batteries just to make sure. }(
