NBC News: 'Has the vice president gone too far?'
David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Published: Monday June 25, 2007

NBC News reported on Monday that "Dick Cheney is back in a very uncomfortable place for him, the headlines." Both a Washington Post series on the vice president and Cheney's feud with the National Archives over his handling of classified information are drawing attention to his style of governing.

NBC called Cheney as "a master of stealth, even inside the White House," describing how he put through his policy of holding detainees indefinitely without charges by handing his proposal to the president without the normal staff review. NBC also noted that "Cheney's influence turns out to be surprisingly wide-ranging," encompassing everything from cutting the capital gains tax to ending the ban on snowmobiles in national parks.

"Has the vice-president gone too far?" asked NBC, adding that "the National Archives thinks so," because Cheney alone in the executive branch has refused to file required reports or permit inspections of his office's handling of classified material. However, the NBC story did not make any mention of Cheney's having justified his refusal on the novel grounds that he is not a part of the executive branch.

The following video is from NBC's Today Show, broadcast on June 25.

1. He went too far in 2000 when he sent his thugs to Florida

Where was NBC then?

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. He went too far when he selected himself to be the VP candidate.

Where was NBC then?

[jtrockville]

8. When Mary picks him as VP on Thompson's ticket...

Where will NBC be then?

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. Where they usually are, kissing his back side.

Thompson/cheney..........kill me now! :puke:

[malaise]

6. Cheering them on n/t

[ixion]

2. uh, yeah! about 7 years back

:grr:

[Missy Vixen]

3. Why do they care?

The MSM has covered and obfuscated for the group in the White House, and now their syncophancy is coming home to roost.

4. The gauntlet has been thrown.

He's ready for impeachment to begin and he's daring Congress to get it started. My concern is that if impeachment is the latest diversion what the hell are they up to now?

[AndyA]

7. NBC is just realizing this fact?

Where were they when he shot a man in the face?

Where have they been since he took office, starting hiding behind closed and locked doors?

My first clue was the Energy Policy. Super secret, hush hush stuff. That should have been a good place to start.

The media today is so worthless, it contributes as much to our knowledge and intellect as American Idol does. We need the Fairness Doctrine reinstated and updated for today's world.

9. wimps

The language they use is so inappropriate for the depth of what they are talking about that they might as well not even bother. They sound like they're discussing some rude comments he may have made at a picnic or something.x(

[NNN0LHI]

11. But MSNBC has had Pat Buchanan foaming at the mouth about immigrants all morning long?

I haven't heard a word about Cheney. Something seems funny here.

Don

[whistle]

12. Looks like the Bilderberg Conferance issued its orders to the Main Stream Media

....that Cheney is open game now. This is punishment for Cheney's failures to accomplish the secret adgenda and objectives laid out in prior Bilderberg Conferences.

23. Right. Is this "Throw Dick under the bus"? Is B* sacrificing the Queen?

The King will hold onto the Queen until he is cornered, and will only sacrifice her to survive.

Are we there, yet?

If NBC was given permission to trash Dick, it was given by the chimp, himself.

Is it harder to believe that the media finally decided it can go against the B* crime family, or that B* sacrificed his pupetteer?

Hmmmm...............

[Mandate My Ass]

13. The Daily Show said it best, as usual

Something along the lines of "The question mark: it allows Fox News (substitute MSM here) to use it as a prophylactic so they won't contract an STD during their extensive GOP cocksucking."

He went too far from day one. Catch up, MSM. He's a frigging in-your-face criminal.

19. I appropriated it for my sig line before that episode had even concluded.

Need text so that you can see it, so...

[DeSwiss]

14. NBC? Are they still around??? n/t

[Norquist Nemesis]

15. He went too far long, long ago

from Wiki:
"Under President Gerald Ford, Cheney worked as Assistant to the President. Rumsfeld first oversaw Ford's White House "transition team" and then later became Ford's Chief of Staff. Rumsfeld was named Secretary of Defense, and Cheney became Chief of Staff to the President. In addition, Cheney and Rumsfeld successfully pushed for William Colby to be replaced by George H. W. Bush as the Director of Central Intelligence, forging what would become a long-term relationship with the future president."

16. Cheney went to far the moment he was born!

[Solly Mack]

17. and the Press pretends this is all new

like suddenly they notice Cheney

[jimshoes]

18. This is funny because all the while

the MSM has been propping up the boy chimp, deadeye has been runnung the country getting everything he wants enacted through the POTUS's office. And the decider in chief doesn't even realize he's being played for the chump he is. He's not deciding anything, the dick tells him which hoops to jump through.

[Mark Twain Girl]

20. I've taken to wondering ***what exactly needs to happen***

for these bums to get thrown out.

[gordianot]

22. Massive hunger and starvation in the United States, and $6.00 a gallon gas.

Forget about trashing the Constitution and Bill of Rights, starting wars of aggression, engaging in torture, massive theft and fraud well into the billions, and bankrupting America for generations to come. It is just not enough. When people get hungry and the oil stops flowing, they are history "maybe". :shrug:

War, hunger (global warming), financial collapse are all issues for the next administration.

I may be wrong but that is a really good question.

[yy4me]

21. Gee, you think? I just called my congressman to ask that he

get on the impeach Cheney bandwagon. It is way PAST time to roll those wagons. What is happening now is sickening and we have had enough.

Hey Congress, how far do our non-executive branch" pres and vp have to go before you realize that they have cooked our goose. We can't do it, you, CONGRESS have to! Listen to us!

[cyberpj]

24. Statements in question form. A Fox trick, isn't it? Take a g-d stand, will you? Next I expect to

see things ilke:

"Water. Is it necessary?"
or
"Is the Constitution Relevant?"

JHC!!
