Probing, investigative journalism
VP Dick Cheney gets his knob waxed by Sean Hannity:
HANNITY, inserting flagpole up his ass: I read your speech to the US Air Force Academy. And you said, "They hate our country. They oppose everything we stand for in the world. They hold an ideology that demands complete conformity, the crushing of dissent." You talk about subjugating of women, et cetera, and you said, "They have declared their intention to strike America again and kill even greater numbers of our citizens." So we're getting further and further away from 9/11, we forget, don't we?
CHENEY: That's right. And it's important for us to remember here.
HANNITY opening up a bottle of baby oil: There's still an insurgency, but there's a lot of progress. What do you make of how that war has been politicized? Where would we be today if we didn't go to Iraq?
CHENEY: The world's much better off and much safer today because Saddam Hussein's in prison... We're making major progress. We'll need to keep at it until we've completed the mission.
HANNITY: Let's talk about when a group like Amnesty International compares Gitmo, Guantanamo Bay, to what happened in the gulags, where millions of people were murdered. And then later they admit they don't know what's going on. Or when Newsweek puts out reports that the Koran was flushed down the toilet, and then later they have to retract a story like that. The impact it has on people worldwide and those people that are looking for reasons to hate the United States or justify, perhaps, actions against our troops. How dangerous is that?
CHENEY: Well, it hurts. And there's no question about it.
HANNITY, turning to a jar of Dr Brown's Anal Butter: We — you mentioned we give the — the prisoners at Guantanamo, we give them copies of the Koran. We — the soldiers and the people that are watching over those detainees are told the proper method in which to hand over the Koran to people. That doesn't seem to get a lot of — a lot of press. Do you feel there's a purposeful distortion? And what could be the purpose of that?
{..snip...}
HANNITY, slobbering: Not just Howard Dean. I mean, Harry Reid, in front of school children, called the president of the United States of American a loser. Hillary Clinton said there's never been in the history of this country an administration I believe more intent upon consolidating and abusing power. What is going on in your mind, I mean, as you hear those this? The campaign was over in November.
CHENEY: I sounds to me like...
HANNITY: Seems to be — seems like campaign rhetoric, right?
CHENEY: Well, or beyond it. Maybe Hillary's spending too much time with Howard.
HANNITY assumes the position: That's a good line!
CHENEY: That's right. And it's important for us to remember here.
