Why? Why is Cheney going to be on This Week tomorrow morning?
Why do they give that evil man a platform to speak?

4. Because he's still breathing and Bush
doesn't have the guts to speak in public.

7. because insanity attracts ratings?
His appearance should be good for a youtube or two.

How ironic for him to appear on Valentine's Day!!

8. That is ironic. But then again, a man like him probably doesn't celebrate Valentines Day.

9. To spew venom...
On the plus side, every time he opens his big mouth, it gives The Hague more ammo for when he gets in front of them.

Wonder what he'll confess to tomorrow...

12. if we refuse to watch (or tivo), perhaps the ratings will be bad
enough that he will lose some of his access. it's worth a try.

14. He is softening his image, practicing not sneering so much
so he can run Palin/Cheney 2012.

16. They need him to criticize President Obama on the trials of the 9/11 terrorists
and the handling of the underwear bomber. Oh, and he will more than likely be discussing how torture works. Be ready to have all the news media carry his every word for at least a week.

17. Because as long as he is able to keep everybody's attention focused on the
outrageous things his says about the Obama Administration, and even putting them on the defensive, no one is seriously looking back at his role in the attacks of 9/11. With Poppy and Jeb wheelin' and dealin' with the bin ladens; and cheney's strategy for Iraq having been laid out at the secret Energy Task Force; and Rummy hiding (stealing) $Billions of supplemental military budget funds and with henchman Wolfowitz planning the invasion of Iraq; and Osama bin laden doing his part to create havoc with his Al Qaeda; and Ashcroft keeping the law dogs at bay; and Tenet "slam-dunking" the intelligence and ordering renditions and torture; and...well...there are just too many chances that someone sooner or later might just happen to do some actual journalism. Hence, we get to see his ugly, snarling face spewing vitriol at our President, sending everyone in the direction of his choosing and away from things like 9/11 and torture.

18. It doesn't bother me that Cheney is given air time, It bothers
me that he isn't held accountable. He demands assurances before he's on that he won't have to answer what he doesn't want to answer. So, what's the point. He continually goes unchallenged and just gets to spew lies with his authoritative manner.

21. A part of it but not all of it. Obama's budget wants to tax corporations
the media is corporate owned, thus anything anti obama and democrats is good.

When someone says it's not about the money - it's about the money.

I like to challenge people, and this isn't against you in any way -- but I ask them, find a positive news story about dems or obama.

They are very few and far between since, murdock hates obama and thinks obama is a racist, the AP - their kingpin is anti obama, Fox - a useless, worthless propaganda machine, and on and on and on.

20. ...when he should be in jail. You have to remember ABC pushed for the movie that blamed 911
Edited on Sun Feb-14-10 08:15 AM by deacon
on clinton. ABC sucks.Cheney uses friendly outlets for his bullshit. They include, Rush, Fox, Politico,anything murdock is behind, and yes, ABC.

Reader and watcher beware.
