Lynne Cheney schools Wolf Blitzer on CNN

Published by Karl at 12:10 am under Politics

I do not have the video to post here, but Hot Air does.  She was appearing to promote her new kids book and was asked about many other issues including the waterboarding issue and Jim Webb's counter attack on the sex book issue, where he uses her in defense.

She takes Wolf to task over CNN showing the sniper videos (videos showing snipers shooting American soldiers from the sniper's POV)

Her comment is one that I wish more people would ask, in all corners, arenas and positions:  Do you want us to win?

I think in the rush to polticize the war we need to take a pragmatic look at it.  We are in it.  All the the whining about why is moot. 

So do we want to win it or lose it?  I think there is potentially more benefit to all if we win.  But that is me.

One other thing I will point out is that Webb using her as his excuse is weak for two reasons.  First she is not a political candidate, he is.  His actions are more likely to be held to that higher standard.  The other resons is her supposed lesbian references were fleeting at best, according to all excerpts I have seen.

What he wrote may be useful for judging character, but it is a weak "October Surprise" at best.  That anyone is harping on this at all is just the media in a feeding frenzy.
