« Cheney Drank Before Shooting Whittington... | Main | Things Soldiers Should Not Say And Newsp... »
It's Hard Being Dick

Reading the transcript of Vice President Cheney's interview with Fox News, I was reminded of my days playing town-team amateur baseball and watching one of our old-timers stand at the plate and taunt the pitcher yelling, "Throw that pumpkin in here 'cause I'm gonna blast it!"   Christ, couldn't the White House just save time and have McClellan or Matalin interview him or something?  Most people go to Larry King when they screw up and want the softball treatment but evidently leading Republican politicos go on Fox instead.

Kevin Drum provides some interesting observations on the interview including the VP's implying that he didn't report it sooner because his credibility is so godawful no one would believe anything he said, outside maybe Brit Hume?    I personally like the part where Cheney says he saw Harry Whittington but then he didn't see him...until he shot him.  Hmmmm?

Although, Brit had a good line when he was asked about how he got the exclusive. "...the administration just wanted Cheney's exclusive on the cable news network that would reach the most people." Ouch CNN

Maybe Fox can use that in its next advertising campaign--"Watch the network Dick Cheney talked after he shot his hunting partner!" with a quote from the VP of course.

RM,
Anything about who actually paid for Cheney's little trip. I read once that ALL his trips were "official." So did we pay for his hunting excursion? Off topic, I know, but just wondering if you've heard anything.

Good question. Seems to me I just read something about that today but I don't remember where. I believe the jist of it was that the VP's office and White House refuse to release Cheney's travel records or even whether private groups paid for travel thus leaving us to wonder if all his trips are "official" or taxpayer funded.
I don't know if the piece I read was a reference to this WaPo article from last November but it looks close:

Here the CPI report that the WaPo article was based on:

http://www.publicintegrity.org/lobby/report.aspx?aid=760

Seems that in addition to claiming special privileges, Cheney's office has routinely turned down reimbursement from private groups and organizations he's met with.
