Cheney Unapologetic

Definitive

Sits down for interview with Fox News.

Dick Cheney appeared on Fox News last night in what may be the last interview of his vice presidency. Did the Angler have any regrets? Well, he did say that he wished the president had kept Donald Rumsfeld around. Other than that? “We set out to do what we thought was necessary and essential for the country,” he said. “I feel very good about a lot of the things we've done in this administration.” Cheney also attacked his successor, Joe Biden, saying he didn’t take seriously Biden’s critique of him as American history’s “most dangerous vice president.” He also said that he did not regret telling Senator Patrick Leahy to “[expletive] off” in 2004. “I thought he merited it at the time, and we've since, I think, patched over that wound and we're civil to one another now," Cheney said.
