Or Maybe Dick Really IS a Fucking Sewer Rat


Earlier I saw WIIIAI write that--gasp--his thoughts were the same as a member of the DC press corpse re: whether Big Time ever "slips up."

Think Progress has the transcript. Looks like the reporter is Ann Compton:

SNOW: I’m telling you what the Vice President — I talked to Leeann about it. She says, No, he wasn’t referring to waterboarding; he was referring to using a program of questioning, not talking about waterboarding.

Let me put it this way: You’ve got Dick Cheney, who has been head of an intelligence committee. He’s been the secretary of defense. He’s been the vice president. This is not a guy who slips up. And he’s also not a guy who does winks and nods about things that involve matters that you don’t talk about for political reasons. Sorry.

[Snip]

COMPTON: Saying that Vice President Cheney doesn’t make mistakes like this, he did go up and curse a senator to his face on the Senate floor and accidentally shot his friend. So he’s not perfect.
