Cheney: On the Record
Vice President Cheney, mindful of his last ill-fated effort to talk to reporters as a “senior administration official,” offered this today - on the record - on Air Force Two en route from the Middle East to the US of A.
“The last time we did one of these, I tried to do it on background but I took a lot of crap for it, frankly,” Cheney said. “So we’ll do this one on the record. That will necessarily involve some limitations in terms of what I can say.”
For the record, Cheney took a lot of crap last time because he clearly identified himself in the transcript of the comments, making it a little silly for the White House to insist on identifying him only as a senior administration official.
