Chaney is angling for the "Prince of Darkness" title-- and he gets to do that because of everyone else's cowardice. It would be better to just arrest him and get it all out, for once and for all.

We "ended up with" two wars... yeah, it just happened, had nothing to do with us.....

Why did John King interview him? Does he have a book coming out?

god damn dick cheney's shit-filled soul to hell.

John King is a shameless right wing tool.

I don't know why I pay attention to what he says, but I tried to read the transcript of the whole interview. I just hope that there is a camera present when he turns into a pillar of salt, crumbles into a pile and is blown away on the winds. That's about all that will satisfy me now, divine retribution, and that's saying something coming from an agnostic. STFU for once and for all, Dick. We don't need your input, just your silence. Go back to your undisclosed location and disclose no more.

'Rusk' Limbaugh? Are you promoting the meat-sak to state department or what Steve? He could run the dissident department of counter productivity!

rusk.....what a hoot....hehehehehe!!!!!!

John King sure makes Jon Stewart look good, even if Howard Kurtz can't see it.

Got your hand caught in teh cookie jar? 9-11 will get you out! Involved in scandal after scandal? 9-11 will remove those pesky Abu Gharaib stains on the carpet!

In stores now! only $29.54

Not just John King, who epicly sucks, but CNN is simply unwatchable for news. I can't even look at Ed Henry, not to mention listen to what he has to say. Rowland Martin, please. Anderson Cooper? Wolf Blitzer? Please. My T.V. is becoming worthless as a news gathering device. Hell, breaking news on t.v. is already six hours old on the internets. I really don't know why I have one (t.v.) anymore.

As Jay above asks, why is King even interviewing Cheney? Why not leave the Sith Lord rot in his "undisclosed locations"? Just pathetic.

Rejoicing in the death of another person is unfortunate. However, the list of people likely to precede me in their visit with the Reaper includes a great many from the last 8 years that will bring a slight smile to my lips. Cheney, Bush, Yoo, Addington, Hadley, Perle, Wolfowitz, Rove and too many others to mention are murderers, torturers and war criminals in every sense of the word. Their cheerleaders in the media such as Limbaugh, Coulter, Kristol, Krauthammer are Hannity are no more than administration mouthpieces mascarading as journalists and writers. Goebbels would be proud of them. For their words they share equal blame. However many are buried before me will afford an hour or two of reflective pleasure at their passing.

The two good things I can take away from the Cheney interview are thus: (1)That the people who still find Cheney credible will eventually die off like the dinosaurs they are, and (2)that American history will eventually record the facts of the Bush administration, as we "do unto Cheney" as the Iraqis did to that big statue of Saddam....

Shorter Dick: Failure doesn't matter.

His former aides are equally irrelevant - Notice MSNBC having Ron Christy on to "balance" views? One of his pips was extolling Cheney taking charge of the Klamath Basin water standoff - "Oooh, he forced those valves open and saved the farmers (who just happen to vote RepuG)" - Never mentioned the devastating effect this had on salmon reproduction down river, nor the loss of commercial fishing.

Matalin appearing on FAUX is no different.

Some responding to that point might say,

"Your incompetence got 3000 Americans killed on 9/11, and an invasion of the wrong country killed a subsequent 4000 Americans and >100,000 Arabs. Why do you have any credibility on anything?"

What happened to the theory of "former presidents shouldn't speak criticize the current president"? I seem to recall the right wing media making an incredible fuss over a few statements by Jimmy Carter. Or does that not apply to Vice Presidents?

May the maggots of a thousand flies feast on the rotting, rancid carcass of this evil man as he spends an eternity of anguish in hell.

Shouldn't we be giving him a bonus a la AIG?

Blah Blah 9/11, Blah Blah 9/11

What does it matter? Haliburton and the rest of the Iraq sub-contractors are doing fine to the tune of 295 million dollars a day. Business as usual also for the MSM, bought and paid for by the re-thugs.

Draft dodger, Nixon enabler, friend of corporate crooks and polluters everywhere, war profiteer, mass murderer -- just once I wish the cable news asshats would give Cheney his proper intro.

In the RNC Limbaugh dust-up I theorized that Rush was slowly forging an alliance with the Crist generation. He's posed to throw all neo-conservatives under the bus, claiming to be part of the new guard.

A sign would be Rush rebuffing Cheney's praise.
It will probably go unmentioned, but distance between him and Darth Cheney would help his cause greatly if I'm right.

Then again, being mean to Cheney could be hazardous to his health.

Maybe fewer people would think he's worth listening to if he weren't interviewed on Sunday mornings on CNN. The problem is CNN legitimizing his dark, crazy worldview by providing a platform for his blathering.

What happened to the theory of "former presidents shouldn't speak criticize the current president"? I seem to recall the right wing media making an incredible fuss over a few statements by Jimmy Carter. Or does that not apply to Vice Presidents?

I wonder if he shows up to interviews with a loaded shotgun?

Cheney just dismisses all the travesties perpetrated during the Bush years with "sh*t happens"? What a Dick!

The subsequent interview with Bennett and Carville was almost as awful. Bennett and King reinforcing everything Cheney said, acting like he's still respected by anybody(Bennett congratulated King on such a great interview with Cheney), and Carville providing a limp rebuttal.
The MSM is complete crap in this country. IOW, just another Sunday in mediawhoreville.

"We ended up with two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Yeah, how did that happen? One might have thought John King would have followed up on that. But King some completely uninterested in discussing Cheney's culpability in any sphere - Iraq, the economy, torture. King treated Cheney as a respected elder statesman, whose views on the current political scene were warranted serious consideration by a rapt nation.

Even more astoundingly, we were treated to the sight of Cheney repeatedly and directly criticizing the President he served under! In the up is down world of Village journalism, it's BIG NEWS that a new Democrat in the White House would "blame" his Republican president for the disaster he inherited, but hardly newsworthy that a mere seven weeks out of office a former vice-president is eagerly explaining to John King how he was "not happy" with Bush's Iran policy, how he would have handled North Korea the way Bush did, and how Bush didn't merely fail to show clemency in the Libby matter - he acquiesced in a grave miscarriage of justice in letting stand a conviction of an innocent man!

Then, of course, there was the criticism of the new president. This is unprecedented for a former Vice-President, to be so harshly critical of the new president. It is an explosive rupture of longstanding political rules of decorum for the ex-VP to be accusing the new president of undermining U.S. security. Again, however, King seems completely oblivious to the extraordinary candor displayed by Dick.

Meanwhile, a virtual right of passage of any new administration - blaming problems that occupy the new administration on the policies of the last administration - was treated with shock and dismay by the media over the weekend, when it was breathlessly reported that Obama was blaming the current economic mess of Bush! My god, did Bush blame Clinton for the tepid economy in 2001? And St. Ronnie would have NEVER blamed Jimmy Carter for anything!

Black has become white in the village. It's shocking and a grave political solecism for a new president to blame the former president when asked about problems confronting the new administration, and it's perfectly natural for a former vice-president to be harshly criticizing not only the new president but the president he just finished servicing under!

John King conducted one of the most stunningly oblivious interviews I've ever seen. We're talking gross journalistic malpractice.

You can fool some of the people all of the time.

I haven't been able to check all the prior news items commented on last week, but I don't recall anything mentioned about the Sy Hersh revelations regarding Cheney and an "Executive Assassination Ring". If it were about anyone else I would be a bit skeptical but I find this highly believable. Keith Olbermann touched on it also. www.alternet.org has an article on it too.

Cheney is criminaly insane. We now know that the Harry Whittington shooting was not an accident. Confidential sources are telling the New York Times that Cheney intentionally shot Harry Whittington because, Whittington jokingly called Cheney "Cock" instead of "Dick."

Their sources report that large quantities of beer were consumed by both men during lunch. When Wittington, in a drunken stupor, called Cheney "Cock," the V.P. became enraged and turned his bird gun on Wittington snarling "Go fuck yourself!" as he unoaded in his friends face.

Wittnesses tell the New York Times that the members of the party avoided calling the authorities because they suspected Cheney's blood alcohol level exceeded legal limits.

I think it is high time that 9/11 be turned back on these guys. You kept the country safe? Uh how many catastrophic attacks happened under say Jimmy Carter's watch? You screwed up and 9/11 happened, blew off Richard Clarke as you were obsessed with the stupid missle shield, and then wildly overreacted by trashing the constitution and the country etc. So don't lecture us babe. And I still wanna know why you and W had to meet with the 9/11 commission together, keeping the stories straight, eh

I would love to see someone like Media Matters do a comparison of how many TV appearances Cheney has made post-power to how many Gore made. I bet you Tricky Dick has been on more and Gore had the whole stolen election issue.

There are people I assume watching this interview right now, and people in this town who would say...

John King, "King of the Strawmen." You might have a little more credibility if you were the one asking those questions. But then again, you would never get such an, ahem, prestigious interview if you did, now would you?

Wanker.

note to dick: there's a simple solution to deal with "spend[ing] money that we had not originally planned to spend, or weren't originally part of the budget." you change the F@CK@NG BUDGET, you moron.....spending goes up? increase revenues!..oh, i forgot. the answer to everything is "tax cuts......"

Cheney has come down with gas bag disease. Rush has big fat idiot syndrome.
