How can THE VIEW stump Cheney?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Cheney is notorious for evading questions about his sins

Cheney will appear on The View next week

My theory is that people that question him are always too general...like "Why did we invade Iraq is there
were no WMDs" That leaves it open for him to spin.

I think I would ask, "You always say that EVERYONE in the world said Saddam had WMD. Exactly which countries
provided INDEPENDENT evidence to us."

I always cringe when he says everyone thought it and I have never ever heard anyone call him on that.

Joy Behar always asks for question ideas on Twitter. I will send her your responses.

1. ask him why he's a lying sack of dog mess

no one's asked him that yet.

[UTUSN]

32. Keep Bahbwah WAHWAH off that day & let Whoopi & Joy talk to him uncensored. n/t

[malaise]

2. By holding him down and removing the battery

on live TV :evilgrin:

sp.

[Le Taz Hot]

15. LOL!

:spank:

[rhett o rick]

22. Ms Behar should have a powerful garage door opener and see if she can jump-start his heart. nm

[malaise]

26. I could watch that

with glee :evilgrin:

[lame54]

41. or microwaving a frozen burrito on the set

[graywarrior]

3. Corporate media?

[pinboy3niner]

4. Easy--waterboard him

[rhett o rick]

23. Wont matter, I dont think he is capable of knowing the real "truth". He can break a lie detector.nm

[pinboy3niner]

25. You're looking for truth from Cheney? I just thought it'd be fun to waterboard him. :)

[rhett o rick]

27. Ok, I see. Cheney is a typical big bully/coward. Just the threat would make him wet his pants. nm

[emanymton]

5. Start Simple,

.

Mr Cheney,

At what point does a USA government official become 'above the law' (national and international)?
(Mr Chaney starts to squirm; smirk twitches)
Does being 'above the law' extend to only USA President/Vice President?
(Mr Chaney continues to squirm; smirk stops)
Are Secretarial Department heads also 'above the law?' How far down the chain of command does being above the law extend?
(Mr Chaney grabs chest; pacemaker goes into overdrive. Audience applause)
Is it naive to believe the Republicant Party will extend the 'above the law' immunity to Mr Obama and Mr Biden after they leave office?

6. Knowing what I know about Cheney...

he wouldn't set foot on that show if he hadn't already specified the "terms and conditions" for his appearance there. Thus, I doubt that any truly substantive or sensitive issues will even be broached. :thumbsdown:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. You are probably right...but Barbara said everything on the table. nt

[rhett o rick]

17. Barbara is a member in good standing of the sociopathic upper class. When she says everything

she doesnt even know what that means. She will ask pretend hard questions, like: "werent we wrong in invading Iraq?". And let Dickhead get away with his perverted view. She will be an instrument for him to use. Barbara is clueless to what happens in the real world.

[sofa king]

16. I think he's actually in a dangerous place.

I'm convinced that Cheney is a sociopath, with little to no empathy or remorse... with the sole exception of his own offspring, which is why he grudgingly pretends to support gay rights.

So I would expect him to play to that one redeeming angle.

Unfortunately for him, that's going to highlight all of the hypocrisy that stems from supporting that one position while freely sniping at soldiers, union workers, the poor, the distressed, and the disadvantaged, all of whom he does not give a shit about.

And this particular audience will not be able to help noticing the gaping emotional hole in Cheney's makeup if his total indifference to all those other people is illuminated.

Another thing to note is that Cheney can potentially damage the Republican Party as a whole for this, seeing as that party's support among voting women is already at a near-historic low. But he doesn't care about that, either. His sole purpose is to pay back his book advance, and he doesn't give a damn what happens to the Republican Party as a result.

[rhett o rick]

18. He will simply say "We did the right thing". That's his go-to line. nm

[Orrex]

7. Ask him if he had to sign the pact in actual blood, or is that simply a figure of speech.

[Atman]

13. He has no actual blood.

Just hydraulic fluid and anti-freeze.

.

[Orrex]

31. I should have clarified that I assumed it would be somebody else's blood at stake

Just like when he started those wars, etc.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. Relentless follow-up questions until he actually Cheney actually answers.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. have you ever seen anyone ever try to followup with him?

[no_hypocrisy]

11. Nope, but then again, Whoopie makes her own rules. I don't think

she'd follow Walters' lead in keep it "civilized".

[Laura PourMeADrink]

40. you are right. but she also gets over-emotional and is easy to

fly off the handle (reminds me of myself haha) I do think Joy could pull it off though...she's feisty as hell

[rhett o rick]

20. There will be strict guidelines about follow-up questions. And Barbara will

keep it down. Besides Cheney will only answer: "we did the right thing", over and over.

[Divernan]

12. Spike his coffee with truth serum.

The sheer evil and horror and ugliness of his honest answers would melt down the television cameras.

[rhett o rick]

43. Truth serum doesnt work for sociopaths. nm

[chillspike]

14. Never ceases to amaze me

how the GOP consistently drum beats the talking point of the corrupt liberal and Hollywood media and yet they are always making appearances in the devil's den like we're their friends!!!

[rhett o rick]

19. "Do you feel bad that you couldnt find bin Ladin or the antrax killer"? nm

[xiamiam]

21. I would ask a few questions

What happened in the energy meetings which were so secretive?

On 911, he told Norad to stand down because of simulated games he was involved with. Was he ever involved in that type of activity before or after 911?

and
Why was there a blackout in San Diego this week?

[chillspike]

24. Ask him why he is appearing on a show

run by the liberal media.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. good one

[rhett o rick]

28. "Was the country made any safer by the torture of children?" nm

[DirkGently]

29. His alleged civilian shoot-down order, happily ignored by the military, might be interesting.

Just heard that being discussed recently. Cheney didn't have the authority to make such an order. And presumably, American civilians would have been killed. So ... an illegal order to kill innocent Americans. He might not have a pre-packaged defense for that one yet.

[gulliver]

30. Ask about Haliburton's dealings with Saddam when Cheney...

...ran Halliburton. But don't just ask it superficially; make Cheney's dealings with Saddam the premise of a simple question. That way answering the question confirms the premise. For example, "Dick, you and Halliburton were involved in a lot of deals with Saddam when you ran Halliburton. Did you ever meet him or his sons personally?"

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. PERFECT !!

[fascisthunter]

35. Ask him why he hates Americans

[hunter]

36. Ask him questions in some made-up language.

And whenever he talks look very concerned and pretend you can't understand him.

I want to see the life support ambulance and secret service vans come crashing through the walls of the set when Cheney hits his panic button.

[pinboy3niner]

37. Make him nervous...

Keep interrupting him with, "Hey, is that thing beeping?" :evilgrin:

[sabrina 1]

38. They should set up a waterboarding device and ask him

if he, like Christopher Hitchens, would be willing to demonstrate his claim that Waterboarding is not torture. Ask for volunteers from the audience to help him prove his claim.

And they should ask him about Curveball.

Oh yes, and one of them should perform a citizen's arrest while they have him there.

[DirkGently]

39. Nice.

[Gin]

42. ask if she can feel his pulse.............then...turn his batteries off!

[rhett o rick]

44. Is your $100 million worth your soul? nm

[closeupready]

45. How were his Halliburton holdings not a conflict of interest in the run-up to the Iraq War and

in awarding no-bid contracts to Halliburton after the invasion of Iraq?
