Two Comments I just posted to 60 Minutes on the Cheney segment

[markpkessinger]

This was the first:

Sanjay Gupta: You know, magical, wonderment, you're words. Those aren't words you typically hear, or expect to hear from you...

On the contrary, Dr. Gupta, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest to hear Mr. Cheney use such words in reference to his own life. Now, if he had used those words in reference to the lives of the over thousands of American solders for whom he had a hand in sending to pointless deaths or the 100,000+ innocent Iraqi civilians who lost their lives as a result of his war mongering, THAT would surprise me. Whatever his physical health troubles, Mr. Cheney's ego has never been close to requiring life support.

And here's the second:

In referring to "when George W. Bush asked Cheney to be his running mate in 2000," without mentioning that what Bush originally asked of Cheney was that he head up a committee to vet potential running mates, and that Cheney, after taking that committee through a few, mostly pro forma motions, presented HIMSELF as the most qualified candidate available, 60 Minutes has further enabled BushCo's attempt to rewrite history.

13. Why hasn't Faux News picked this up. This is a disgrace.

Well Faux? How about it. Let your outrage work its magic. Fair and balanced and all.

[Justice]

6. What about the doctor's letter saying he was healthy

When asked about that letter, Cheney says I didn't write that --and you have to ask the doctor why he said that. Apparently the doctor never examined him.

7. DICK Cheney is the embodiment of . . .

pure EVIL !

[New Orleans Strong]

8. Dick Cheney?

10. Great comments Mark

All I know is if I could afford a new TV, I would have thrown a brick through it. Nothing will ever humble this man. Arrogance, lies and ego will stay with this ghoul until he finally meets his end.

12. 60 Minutes gave "Face-Shooter" Cheney a major puff piece, for sure.

gag me.

Who knew that a war criminal and a torturer could be so "magical"?

[ffr]

14. Slow news cycle if Cheney's all they could get.

Good comments. Keep them coming!

[Enthusiast]

Well done!

When we heard there was to be a Cheney segment, we refused to turn the mother fucker on.

16. Always watch 60 minutes, but the minute darth cheeney came on I turned the channel....

just couldn't stomach his mug on my TV. Ugh.

17. Yes, Virginia, the USA does have the best Health Care in the World.....

..but [font size=3]ONLY[/font] for the very [font size=3]RICH[/font] & Privileged.

In Cheney's case, this is Your Tax Dollars at Work,
but YOU will NEVER have access to this level of Health Care in the USA.

Welcome to the New & Improved Gilded Age 2.0.
