With an approval rating of 19%, who really cares about what Dick Cheney thinks?

Good question, he must be more out of it than his shotgun skills, if he thinks he has any political currency left.

He should shut the fuck up.

What is this about ? Did he say something stupid again ?

I'm not concerned with Cheney's place in a popularity contest. All I care about is whether or not his views are rational.

Who? The Rabid Right Wing.

His wife and dog, probably the dog more so. ;)

I care what he says, let him incriminate himself if he likes. Everything he says can be used against him in a court of law.

I don't think everything a person says can be used against them in a court, only the things they say to an investigative officer or official. But I'm not sure.

I say keep him talking. I have noticed in the last several days he has been off the airwaves. Maybe someone got too him like in the SNL skit. Maybe George II had a talk with him...never know.

Actually anything that is said that is not protected by certain laws (spousal & doctor-patient privileges, for example) is pretty much admissible. Things like me intentionally setting you up and recording are usually thrown out, but if you go on TV and say, "Yep, I killed that bitch." You can bet it will be included in the court case somewhere.

Dick Cheney might. Maybe

Cheney is trying to go on the defensive now about the Bush's administration terror policies. He figures his so-called legacy is at stake. What legacy? He has no legacy except his inability to shoot straight while duck hunting. The same goes for his ability to tell the truth when he was vice president.

Vice president? Cheney was no vice president, notice Bush crawled under a rock and has not been heard from since yet its Cheney is out "defending his legacy", vice president please, we all know who was at the wheel here!

Defensive? Hell Cheney has opened up a major offensive, and He is offending many a liberal, His numbers are up, the American People are listening, and Obama hasn't shown anything on foriegn policy except major trouble on the Horizon,---Iran---N.Korea----Afgahistain-----Resurgence of attacks in Iraq, yes so much for the "World Appology Tour 2009", Looking Weak, and Attracting Attack

Really? don't keep up with the facts do you.

From the tickers of CNN, no friend to Cheney.

Thirty-seven percent say they have a favorable opinion of Cheney, up 8 percentage points from January when he left office.

I’d prefer that fresh Republican leadership take that role, as I wrote earlier this year, but in the absence of any such leadership, Cheney appears to be doing an effective job. How effective? E.J. Dionne reported this weekend that Obama now has to hold dual briefings to convince the center-right that he’s just as tough as Cheney on Guantanamo:

Last Thursday afternoon, for example, the White House invited in journalists, mostly opinion writers, to sell them on the substance of the president’s big speech on Guantanamo and the treatment of detainees.

Unbeknown to the writers until afterward, they had been divided into two groups, one more centrist with a sprinkling of moderate conservatives, the other more liberal. (I was in the liberal group.) The president made an unscheduled appearance at each briefing. As is his way, he charmed both groups.

The idea, as far as I can determine, was to sell the liberal group on those aspects of Obama’s plan that are a break from George W. Bush’s policies, and to sell the centrist group on the toughness of the president’s approach and the fact that it squares with Bush’s more moderate moves later in his second term.

Dionne believes that Cheney “helped” Obama with his speech at AEI that day criticizing Obama on his national-security policies, but the very existence of the dual briefings shows that Cheney is drawing blood in this debate. It also calls into question the honesty of Obama. Why make two different cases simultaneously, telling one group that he’s abandoning Bush’ policies and the other that he is not? Does Dionne believe that builds Obama’s credibility, or undermine it?

Cheney isn’t making two different and nearly mutually exclusive cases. Right or wrong, Cheney’s only talking out of one side of his mouth. The fact that Obama has to talk out of both sides, rather than simply make a cogent and consistent argument to all Americans, shows that Cheney has pushed him out of his comfort zone, and Obama’s flailing in response.

Keep deluding yourself....liberals are encouraging the man to speak often. And they are not doing that because he is hurting him.

joe you are funny, really funny.

Then why all the angst?

And why the split briefing rebuttals?

Where is the angst? Have you not read the title of this thread, "Who really cares about what Cheney thinks?" I see no angst there. And what are the split briefing rebuttals? Why should Cheney's opponents not rebut his lies?

Here why someone had to rebuttal his lies

Appearing on CBS’s "Face the Nation" on Sunday, Powell rebuked Cheney’s suggestion that he’s no longer part of the GOP, "Mr. Cheney was misinformed. I am still a Republican.” Powell also refused to acquiesce to Limbaugh’s wish that he leave the party.
