Cheney Mocks Biden In Fox News Interview

In an interview with Fox News' Chris Wallace, Vice President Dick Cheney mocked his successor Joe Biden. Asked about the future VP's comment that Cheney has been "the most dangerous vice president we've had probably in American history," the Republican responded:

"He also said that all the powers and responsibilities of the executive branch are laid out in Article I of the Constitution," Cheney said in a interview that was conducted on Friday. "Well, they're not. Article I of the Constitution is the one on the legislative branch."

"Joe's been chairman of the Judiciary Committee, a member of the Judiciary Committee in the Senate for 36 years, teaches constitutional law back in Delaware, and can't keep straight which article of the Constitution provides for the legislature and which provides for the executive," Cheney added. "So I think I'd write that off as campaign rhetoric. I don't take it seriously."

While Cheney is correct that Article 1 of the Constitution covers the legislature and Article 2 covers the executive branch, Article 1 does discuss the role of the Vice President in the Senate:

The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.

Oh puhleeze! This is just rich! Cheney mocks Biden for supposedly getting the Constitution wrong yet he thinks the Vice President is part of the legislative branch? LOL! I love how Dick tries to have it both ways.

Cheney is a sniveling, dangerous child. Mr. Biden was correct during the VP debate when he referenced Article 1 of the Constitution. Biden had stated Article 1 defines the role of the vice president, and he was absolutely correct...Article 1 is the only place in the document where the VP role (president of the Senate) is defined.

I do not care for controlling, manipulative individual­s...simply put, they are bullies. Bullies are some of the worse personality types we have. When controlling individuals find themselves out of control, they are dangerous. Cheney is the ultimate bully.

"Bloody their nose so you can walk down the street the next day." Joe Biden's mum ;-)

OT: I mentioned on another thread, on Christmas Eve, Jill and Joe Biden fed the homeless and hungry at a soup kitchen in Willmington, Delaware. HuffPo didn't seem to have this posted. Thank you Joe and Jill for your good service; you are my gift this season. Happiest Holidays to you and yours...I think America is very lucky.

PRIMING THE JURY POOL - that's what Cheney's recent media bluster is all about. He knows prosecution is not too far off.

Cheney is a bully and a coward who should be in jail.

[rasit]

Luckily NO one cares about Cheney or Fox News....

[Social Construct]

Dick Cheney is the stain on the blue dress of democracy.

One WORD to discribe Cheney?

Lucifer!

[oregonideas]

if Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin agree on something we can be sure the exact opposite is true. They represent a combination of evil and ignorance. Dick will be remembered as both the worst and the most dangerous VP in history and Sarah will, hopefully, fade into the Alaskan sunset.

THE DEVIL HAS SPOKEN :)

Dearest Leader Mr Cheney I would like to remind you that great pride goth before a great fall

and you should remember that first and for most considering your a good christian and all

[AlwaysFairDem]

Rachel Weiner should be fired from HuffPost as she has no substance if you ask me. A smaller version of Cheney is who she is.

[jsgaetano]

Cheney still thinks he's King of the Senate.

Just because the Repubs are too spineless to enforce the constitution doesn't mean the constitution has changed.

[Yarrr]

If Cheney insults you you know you're doing something right.

[SEQUOIABISON]

The best compliment anyone can get is to be insulted by Cheney, a badge of honor not to be liked by the scoundrel who was the VP for a small segment of Americans.
