SNL: 'Dick Cheney' Unregretful Interview With 'Diane Sawyer' (Video)

By The Staff at wowOwow.com
"Cheney" on "SNL"

"Saturday Night Live" wasted no time this weekend taking a few comedic shots at the outgoing Bush administration.

In its opening sketch, the comedy troupe poked fun at departing Vice President Dick Cheney and his exit interview with Diane Sawyer. Cheney, who turns 68 this month, leaves behind a controversy-addled legacy. In the "SNL" exit interview clip, no matter what "Diane Sawyer" asked — from his response after 9/11 to hurricane Katrina — "Cheney" regrets nothing — not even shooting his friend in the face. Oddly enough, the responses seem nearly in line with the real Dick’s take …

Do you think Cheney — who’s been working at the White House since the Ford administration, where he served as White House Chief of Staff — deserves more respect? This is a man who’s devoted his life to his country and, although it’s been riddled with controversy (including the Scooter Libby scandal), do you think we’re being too hard on him? Or is he getting exactly what he deserves?

Watch the "SNL" clip and tell us what you think:

I love the crooked smile… perfect Cheney. There is a man whose body has morphed into who he really IS.

That is a good idea as this awful man should be brought to trial, no one is above the law even Mr and high and mighty Cheney and I think the American people deserve to see him punished!!!

Cheney has devoted his life to the HIS part of “his country.” Now we’re opening to the age of HIS AND HER / OUR country. Mr. Cheney is one of the last gasps of the by-going era of immature rogue patriarchal warmongering addictions. He did not “know” any better! We can afford to let the by-going be by-gone, I believe, as we focus on the development of the TRUE USA. In that truth is the balance-point between the mature, empowered sisterhoods of the matriarchy, and the mature, empowered brotherhoods of the patriarchy. Implicit, too, in that balance is the concept that in order for patriotism to be in balance with all humanity and all beings on the planet, it needs to have a partner and complementary opposite: MATRIOTISM. A “patriot,” then, is a guardian of the small-hold (property) while a “matriot” is a steward of the great-hold (the planet and all life here). One is not better than the other. They must work together in order for humanity to attain its fulfillment.
