Cafferty: Cheney “Not Going To Get Any High Hard Ones” From The F-Word Network

After admitting he hasn’t seen the full interview with Dick Cheney yet, CNN’s Jack Cafferty had the following to say on The Situation Room at 4:15pm: “I would guess it didn’t exactly represent a profile in courage for the vice president to wander over there to the F-word network for a sit down with Brit Hume. I mean, that’s a little like Bonnie interviewing Clyde, ain’t it? Where was the news conference? Where was the access to all of the members of the media?”
