rock over London. rock on, Chicago.

the Cheney family does not like Wolf Blitzer. at all.

“In a television interview that turned increasingly contentious as it wore on, Cheney rejected the gloomy portrayal of Iraq that has become commonly accepted even among Bush supporters.”

that’s true. this was early:
“The pressure is from some quarters to get out of Iraq,” he told CNN. “If we were to do that, we would simply validate the terrorists’ strategy that says the Americans will not stay to complete the task, that we don’t have the stomach for the fight.”

see? that’s only a little contentious. but a little coldhearted vitrol for Dick Cheney is like a light salad dressing. it’s just how he rolls.

this is later:
Cheney said Blitzer was advocating retreat. “What you’re recommending, or at least what you seem to believe the right course is, is to bail out,” the vice president said.
“I’m just asking,” Blitzer objected.
‘No, you’re not asking.”

and then:
… the CNN host mentioned that Cheney’s lesbian daughter, Mary, has become pregnant and asked whether he wanted to respond to conservatives who have criticized her.
“I’m delighted I’m about to have a sixth grandchild, Wolf,” Cheney said. “And obviously, I think the world of both my daughters and all of my grandchildren. And I think, frankly, you’re out of line with that question.”
Blitzer tried to defend himself: “I think all of us appreciate –” Cheney cut him off: “I think you’re out of line.”
“We like your daughters,” Blitzer replied. “Believe me, I’m very sympathetic to Liz and to Mary. I like them both. That was a question that’s come up, and it’s a responsible, fair question.”
“I just fundamentally disagree with you,” Cheney said.

oh, I’m sorry. you let your party elect you on a homophobia ticket, but you don’t want to talk about your fag daughter? cry me a river, you evil fuck.
