Who at the White House "Green Lighted" The Cheney Interview?!? Story Behind the Story

[CorpGovActivist]

I hope that someone at CNN interviews Wolf Blitzer about the circumstances that led to his interview. Cheney alludes to the conversation setting up the interview.

1. When did the White House green light it? That would reveal a lot about their mindset going into the SOTU.

2. Who green lighted it? Cheney himself?

3. Who negotiated with Blitzer/his producers? (Not Scooter Libby, I guess.)

Finally, a question that Blitzer probably couldn't answer, but might have thoughts on, nevertheless:

4. What possible objective did the White House think would be served by the interview?

1. Good questions

I only saw about two minutes -- did Cheney come off well. :sarcasm:

2. Cheney came off like the arrogant lying fuckhead that he is....

4. and Wolfie kowtowed and was intimidated

and backed off like the wimpy little pussy he is. Investigative journalism my arse!

5. Oh that exchange between DeadEye and Wolfie over Mary

was priceless. Just shows what a pathetic hypocritical asshole Chain-Knee is...

8. Definitely CrashCart, he is just a cold hearted, evil bastard

I'd love to see a stare down between Rummy and DeadEye. Condi would crack after 5 minutes of having Unka Dick give her the hairy eyeball.

3. I Wish Blitzer Had Raised Federal Marriage Amendment...

... since he thought it was none of Wolf's business about his lesbian daughter's pregnancy.

7. I think Chaney's interview was for showing he wasn't backing

Down, to whom it was to reassure? certainly no one in he's administration but perhaps to Israel.
