CHENEY CALLS BLITZER QUESTION ON DAUGHTER’S PREGNANCY ‘OUT OF LINE’
Wed Jan 24 2007 13:41:22 ET

In an interview taped to air for today’s ‘Situation Room’ on CNN, Vice President Cheney responded sharply to anchor Woilf Blitzer’s line of questioning regarding the pregancy of Cheney’s lesbian daughter:

Blitzer: Your daughter Mary, she’s pregnant. All of us are happy. She’s going to have a baby. You’re going to have another grandchild. Some of the — some critics, though, are suggesting, for example, a statement from someone representing Focus on the Family:

“Mary Cheney’s pregnancy raises the question of what’s best for children. Just because it’s possible to conceive a child outside of the relationship of a married mother and father, doesn’t mean it’s best for the child.”

Do you want to respond to that?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: No, I don’t.

Blitzer: She’s obviously a good daughter —

VICE PRESIDENT: I’m delighted — I’m delighted I’m about to have a sixth grandchild, Wolf, and obviously think the world of both of my daughters and all of my grandchildren. And I think, frankly, you’re out of line with that question.

Blitzer: I think all of us appreciate —

VICE PRESIDENT: I think you’re out of — I think you’re out of line with that question.

Blitzer: — your daughter. We like your daughters. Believe me, I’m very, very sympathetic to Liz and to Mary. I like them both. That was just a question that’s come up and it’s a responsible, fair question.

VICE PRESIDENT: I just fundamentally disagree with your perspective.

    Dick and Lynn Cheney are both polite people who answer the rude and intrusive interrogations of arrogant reporters with finesse and gentility.

    Thank you Mark Levin for exposing Wolf Blitzer’s insolence in his interview with the Vice President of the United States.

    Thank you John for this great post.

    Anyway, how does this maroon spell his name?? Wolf? Wolfe? Woilf?

    Maybe he should get a real name…he would still be an idiot…

    Thank me…

    That is just nauseating. Blitzer is a bumbling stooge. A pathetic shill.

    The saving grace was listening to the cricketts chirp during the dead silence after the VP called him out for being a classless bore (i.e. what we expect from him!)

    Could you imagine the zoo noises liberals would be making if John Gibson, Brit Hume, Neil Cavuto or Bill O’Reilly said something like this to a DEMOCRAT about their daughter under the same circumstances???

    It would be Katie Couric’s lead story for two weeks straight, and the wackos on “The View” would be screaming bloody murder for a month!

    Liberals always make a point to separate the personal from the professional when it comes to other liberals but they wed the two when it comes to conservatives. Should the Cheneys be skeptical of Blitzer’s motives? Obviously they are and for good reason. He’s just a shill for the Left.

    Mrs.Cheney slapped Wolfie down first and Mr.Cheney followed suite. Good for them both!

    Wonder if Wolf Blitzkrieg ever asked the Klintons about there sex life and why they gave birth to such an ugly kid.

    i wonder if woofie ever asked Hitlery if Chelsea really was Wes Hubbles love child ??

    Go Cheney!

    This was a spineless attempt to embarrass a man whom has been unjustly ridiculed throughout his term as vice president. I think we all remember this same tactic during the 2004 election. What made this **shole think this was a good idea? If Sean Hanity were to try something like this (not that he ever would) all the loonies in the liberal media complex would be calling for his firing by Fox News and ABC. Once again Wolfe shows his true colors. I’m suprised he didn’t say, “She’s just so gay”.

  9. Kiwon says:

    Pete, the world needs ugly people too!

    Why did you have to mention the Clinton’s sex life? I don’t think I’ll be able to eat today. LOL.

    Wolf is a Sheep. Nice slap-down.

    Good on the VP who calls a spade and spade. Don’t they ever mess with him, or Lynn Cheney. What a stupid question to ask? At the very least tactless, and at worst, malicious. Who listens to a pinkie troll like Katie Couric, a Socialist who enjoys the preks of a capitalist society?
    Another stupid question to ask Dick Cheney – Do you think Hillary will become President? What good answers Mr. VP gave!
    The VP treated the drive by media the way it should be treated – the Leftist U.S. media is Conservatism’s ENEMY!

    Wolf is a joke. He made his bones on the first gulf war and now he wants to jump on Cheney.
