Here We Go! Big Dick Cheney on Face the Nation - 10:30 EST >

[Stephanie]

Starting now.

[proud2BlibKansan]

1. No thanks

[G_j]

2. I'd rather poke pins in my eyes... nt

[UTUSN]

3. *Not* MTP. "Face the Nation" with SCHIEFFER on CBS!1 n/t

[malaise]

4. Circling the wagons

We went to the Justice Department. If we were about torture, we wouldn't have gone to the justice Department. Says Bush authorized it.

Yeh right.

[UTUSN]

9. Whoa, he just threw Shrub under the bus!1

"How much did (Shrub) know about the 'methods that were used' (TORTURE)? You have said you approved..."


CHEENEE: (Minor verbal stumbling around) "Uh, I have every reason to believe he knew (everything)... He signed off..."

[Stephanie]

11. Thanks!

Sorry about that

[blaze]

5. Oh ick. n/t

[deminks]

6. Bush knew, Bush signed off on it. Darth throws Smirk under the bus.

[malaise]

7. And he has no regrets

about committing war crimes. Oops the anthrax attacks...against Democrats and the media.

Fuck you - you Dick!

[Hamlette]

8. didn't he say last week he was going to get out of the middle of the fight?

I swear KO or Stewart of RM or someone reported that Cheney said he'd make like Bush and shut up. Did I dream that?

[malaise]

10. Not willing to testify under oath

That's the headline.

[dem629]

13. Said he would "take a look at the precedent"

which is KIND of code for "no."

[malaise]

15. No he said he is not willing to testify under oath

That's all that matters here. The war criminal knows he committed war crimes.

[dem629]

16. Let's be accurate. The shitweasel Cheney's actual quote:

"I'd have to take a look at the precedent we'd be setting."

It's a dodge, at best, and probably code for "no" in the future.

[malaise]

20. He said no before he said that

unless I'm totally deaf.

[Stephanie]

21. He was asked if he would go to speak with Congress and he said someone has to tell them the truth

He said yes to speaking with Congress, he said he'd have to see what precedent it set re: doing it under oath.

[babylonsister]

26. Since when does he care about precedent?

HE's been setting one by trashing this admin and his fellow goopers.

[dem629]

22. That wouldn't have made sense to say no, then leave the option open.

For accuracy's sake, Cheney said he would go to Congress (meaning talk to individual members), but when Schieffer asked him about testifying under oath, that's when he said he would have to look at the precedent it would be setting.

Now, of course, that's a dodgy answer, no doubt about it, and it would probably mean he would resist, but I'm just urging accuracy when reporting on something that others are not currently watching.

[malaise]

35. I watched it again and you're right

he said he would have to look at the precedent it would be setting.
Dodge, dodge, dodge.

[malaise]

31. OK

I'll watch it again.

[madokie]

14. He keeps digging a deeper hole so I hope he keeps it up

before long we'll know all of what went down

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. It's MOTHER'S day, not MOTHERF*#KER's Day. No thanks - can't watch!

[Stuckinthebush]

27. DUZY!

Indeed!

[NRaleighLiberal]

37. Thanks! N/T

[Stephanie]

17. Trashing Colin Powell!

What a dirtbag!

[alfredo]

18. Asked to choose between Rush or Colin Powell, Cheney picked Rush.

[kentuck]

28. And he said he took an oath to "defend the United States against all enemies..."

"foreign and domestic."

No, he didn't.

He took an oath to "defend the Constitution of the United States".

Big difference.

[alfredo]

29. He redefined the United States as the Unitary Executive.

[madrchsod]

25. powell and cheney basically loathe each other and....

rush was the reason that powell dropped out of the presidential race back in the day. rush constantly referred to powell as the "little general"

[Connie_Corleone]

19. He would take Rush Limbaugh over Colin Powell.

That pretty much sums up the Republican Party right there.

[madrchsod]

23. dick has`t seen it big in years.....

[Stephanie]

24. Should have gone with Whatta Dick Cheney

But I'm still sleepy

[lpbk2713]

30. Sorry, but if I wanted a blubbery old RW lying hatemongering apologist ...

... I'd tune in to comedian Rush Limbaugh.


His utter absurdity guarantees more laughs per minute.



:rofl: :rofl:

[siligut]

32. He is just keeping with the same old lies.

Figuring most people really don't know. “Al Qaeda threat, protect the US, prevented future 9/11 attacks, only water boarded 3 people and it gave us valuable information."

[donheld]

33. Why do they keep having this fool on?

They never let Al Gore ramble on and on after W took office.

[stevedeshazer]

34. That was well worth watching

Look, guys, we WANT the focus of the Republicans to be guys like Cheney and Limbaugh.

Every time Swingin' Dick shows up, the poll numbers go up for Democrats.

Bring 'em on.

And yes, Dick, go ahead and throw Powell under the bus and prop up Limbaugh. Just keep that up. Please.

[Stephanie]

36. No kidding!

Can we get a commercial of that quote, please.

[travelingtypist]

38. Love how Dick ducked the "will you testify under oath" question.

Schieffer is such a Republican fluffer. Jeezus.
