Cheney "Aggravated" By New York Times Pulitzer

Bill Bennett's fawn-tastic Morning In America exit interview with Dick Cheney is filled with precisely the sort of ass-kissing and side-stepping you'd expect from this pair of glad-handing, decrepit yobbos. It contains goopy pillow talk about fly-fishing and Cheney's high dudgeon over Obama's plan to shut down the Guantanamo Bay prisons -- the Bush Administration's rarefied monument to bizarro justice, where the guilty never stand trial and the innocent remain detained forever. At the end of it, you'll be left with the same sort of question you may have had after reading Stephen Hayes' man-on-Cheney BDSM classic. Nevertheless, I'd highlight this moment for future remembrance:

CHENEY: We get into the whole area, for example, the Terrorist Surveillance Program --

BENNETT: Right, the perfect example.

CHENEY: Great example; important program, allows us to intercept communications from terrorists coming in to the United States, and a program we put in place using presidential authority. And it's worked. It's really given us some very, very good intelligence. Well, certain key members of Congress were briefed on that program from the very beginning. I used to preside over those briefings in my office with the chairman and ranking member of the House and Senate on the intelligence committees, for example, or on one occasion the entire congressional leadership down in the Situation Room in the West Wing.

What happened then was they had the information we had, they knew how we were doing it, they knew what we were producing through that process. But then when -- Nancy Pelosi, for example, was part of that group. But then it became public. The New York Times broke the story I think in December of '05, won the Pulitzer for it, which always aggravated me.

Hey, Dick, I got to tell you, it always aggravated me that the Times won a Pulitzer for that, too! Mainly because my basic rights are so well elucidated by the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States that it shouldn't require journalistic excellence to remind people that, yes, THEY EXIST. I guess we all have our own cross to bear.

Cheney should watch 'Anger Management' movie...an­d Obama can play the role of Nicholson.­...

Aggravated?

I'll tell a story for that. My sister-in-law was a major for the US Army in the First Gulf War, and ended up guarding prisoners. One of the Iraqis she was guarding asked for her attention, and, pointing to the officer next to him, said, "My colonel wishes to say that he is offended."

"Offended?," she asked, "How?"

"You are staring at him," the Iraqi private said.

"I'm guarding him, he's a prisoner of war," she said logically.

"But you are a woman, and he is offended by this," the private insisted.

She looked at the Iraqis, then at her M-16, then right at the colonel, "Last I heard, we were winning. LET HIM BE OFFENDED."

As for Cheney the big D---, "Last I heard we won, LET HIM BE AGGRAVATED­."

I take pleasure in knowing Cheney's wings have been clipped and he essentially doesn't matter anymore.

I will take more pleasure in seeing him make the perp walk.

Cheney is aggrivated when he sees a puppy.

What a silly thing to say:

"Hey, Dick, I got to tell you, it always aggravated me that the Times won a Pulitzer for that, too! Mainly because my basic rights are so well elucidated by the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States that it shouldn't require journalistic excellence to remind people that, yes, THEY EXIST.

Cheney has clearly established that he has no regard for the Constitution, despite his swearing to uphold it.

It is a trollll ...look at the link

[shockmagog]

Scrub this troII.

[wanj]

To the religious right - D!ck Cheney is the devil himself. He really is!

[RTIII]

Then the Religious Right and I have something in common, after all.

... 'Course, I haven't got any silly notions of some red dude with a pitchfork, snake eyes and a tail - I've JUST got Cheney in mind.

Anger Management classes can help you Dickk.

[zendem1]

Bet Bennet's arm is tired from all those handjobs he's been giving Cheney for the past 8 years.

[slc1950]

ROTFLMFAO

I can't wait til the only stories about D I C K head will be his trial and sentence.

[billbb]

Not a handjob, a reacharound.

[ObjectiveRealist]

Aggravated? As your very own appointees argued, if you don't have anything to hide, you have no reason to object to your activities being recorded. Terrorists and fascists work in secrecy. Democracies are open to the citizens. End of discussion.

[ChicagoSuz]

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...

Only one more week!!

[indy girl]

Ha ha--with that bald head he does remind you of the wizard of Oz......Ch­eney The Great and Terrible!

[strangerinthenight]

Cheney is full of it, and it will take sacks of fiber to get those sack of tools out and by then, the entire US population to China and back to close their nose, and maybe oxygen tank to breath air.

Cheney is sub human. Bennett is low life craving to get his interview from a sub human specie.

[merger]

Oh, Mr. Cheney(she says with a sigh), please go back to Wyoming and lose yourself.

[zendem1]

I want him to do something to himself, but lose isn't the term I'd use.

[westphilly726]

Can someone take the batteries out of his pacemaker and put him out of his misery already?!!

[Phoebe917]

all the while putting him out of *our* misery...

[mediamarv]

Maybe his head will explode with all that aggravation.

We can only hope.
