Cheney to have Fox interview at 2 p.m. 1 hour, 42 minutes ago



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney, publicly silent since accidentally shooting a Texas lawyer while hunting last week, will offer his first words on the incident on Wednesday, the White House said.


Cheney will be interviewed by Fox News at 2 p.m. (1900 GMT), White House press secretary Scott McClellan told reporters. The interview will not be aired live.

Cheney sprayed Texas lawyer Harry Whittington, 78, with birdshot last Saturday. The incident was not disclosed until the following day and Cheney himself has not spoken out about the issue, prompting Democrats to demand an explanation and fellow Republicans to question his strategy.

"It's an opportunity for the vice president to talk about the questions relating to this issue and also to talk about his concern for his friend Mr. Whittington," said McClellan, who was traveling with President George W. Bush in Columbus, Ohio.

4. "In retrospect, it looks like I got off easy" Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt)

Who was once on the receiving end of a vice presidential obscenity on the floor of the Senate, said:

5. oh Yeah.Great.Way to gain credibility Dick...

FAUX news..."for entertainment purposes only" news source.

6. When this WH is in trouble they can always touch base at Fox "news"

What if Clinton had a major media source working full time to spin the Lewinski scandal back in the 90s?
I wonder if there would have been any outrage?

I think the backlash would have rivaled that of the current Danish cartoon riots.

Imagine network "reporters" like Paul Begala or Susan Esthich asking Bill if it's true "that Monica Lewinski was on her lunch break at the time", or Donna Brazille asking "if he feels more relaxed and able to make important decisions after he gets oral sex".
