CNN MARKS CHENEY: NETWORK FLASHES 'X' OVER VP'S FACE DURING LIVE SPEECH

**Exclusive**

At 11:04:45 AM ET Monday CNN was airing Vice President Dick Cheney's speech live from the American Enterprise Institute in Washington -- when a large black 'X' repeatedly flashed over the vice president's face!

The 'X' over Cheney's face appeared each time less than a second, creating an odd subliminal effect.

As this DRUDGE REPORT screen capture reveals, while one 'X' flashed over Cheney's face CNN ran a headline at the bottom of its screen: "CHENEY: I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS WRONG TO CRITICIZE."

One top White House source expressed concern about what was aired over CNN.

"Is someone in Atlanta trying to tell us something?"

A CNN spokesman did not return repeated calls late Monday night.

There had better be a darn good eXplanation here!
Maybe CNN wanted to wish the vice president a merrry X-mas!
Maybe X marX the spot on the Communist News Network!

Levity aside, pal o'mine, this is a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing.

Yeah.  Four different times right smack on the president's face.  Tech glich my a**.


So you're saying that someone wanted to do something to make Cheney look bad during his speech, and rather than flash a message that says "Cheney sucks" they put an X up a couple times?  wow... so much worse

Lots of media programs have an X where something is supposed to appear.  Even your web browser does when an image is missing.

Someone hit a button to run an overlay that wasn't programmed. 

Only Drudge would treat this as "news"

Tell those dopes at slightlywarped that it's "aluminum foil" not "tinfoil."

I don't know about Marvy baby, but Neil got busted in the late '80s as part of the fraudulent Silvrado savings & loan.  Minor scandal, no major fallout, but it killed any political aspirations Neil may have had for a while.  Fortunately, Neil was only about thirty years old when the Silverado thing went down.  With the Bush family imposing themselves as the House of American monarchy and pushing pesky democracy aside, Neil might become a great statesman anyway.

I'm not saying Marvin's clean, he just didn't get caught.

here's some interesting tinfoil hat facts.

http://people.csail.mit.edu/rahimi/helmet/

"Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. We investigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a sample group of four individuals. Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government's invasive abilities. We speculate that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.

Say, now there's something I haven't thought of in quite a little while.  Back in the days before we had cable in East Podunk, we used to enhance the receptivity rabbit ears antennae with a coating of aluminum foil.  But if you've ever dealt with a delusional paranoid, you know logic is their strong suit!
BTW, one advantage of not having remote control was having no remote control wand to lose....but sometimes the knobs on those old TVs would come off and we'd lose them!  I remember trying to manipulate the UHF dial with a pair of pliers!  Did anybody else ever use a coat hanger for a makeshift antenna?  I know this is off topic, but I can't help remembering foil on the antennae without those other hassles!

Careful, Max. By admiting that you even KNOW what rabbit ears are and admit to using a coat hanger and foil to get better reception, and even using pliers to turn the channel (to get to all 4 or them) is dating yourself. Of course I wouldn't remember any of that stuff that was used on a portable B&W t.v. that we had back in the dark ages.  ;)

Probably?  He and secretary of state Katherine Harris did arrange to steal the election in 2000.  Greg Palast and Vincent Bugliosi, among many others provided copious evidence of this, but die-hard Republicans will never admit it.  I mean, anybody at this date who doesn't think Dubya and his cohorts are a bunch of crooks and incompetents would blame gravity if Bush fell of his bike!

Anyway, Gore and Kerry both proved themselves to be gutless wonders,  bought and owned by the DNC and corporate America.  Neither of them had the cajones to run the rodeo with Cheney, Rove, et al!

From the Drudge Report:

CNN OPERATOR FIRED AFTER SUGGESTING 'X' OVER CHENEY WAS 'FREE SPEECH'

A CNN switchboard operator was fired over the holiday -- after the operator claimed the 'X' placed over Vice President's Dick Cheney's face was "free speech!"

"We did it just to make a point. Tell them to stop lying, Bush and Cheney," the CNN operator said to a caller. "Bring our soldiers home."

The caller initially phoned the network to complain about the all-news channel flashing an "X' over Cheney as he gave an address live from Washington.

"Was it not freedom of speech? Yes or No?" the CNN operator explained.

"If you don't like it, don't watch."

Laurie Goldberg, Senior Vice President for Public Relations with CNN, said in a release:

"A Turner switchboard operator was fired today after we were alerted to a conversation the operator had with a caller in which the operator lost his temper and expressed his personal views -- behavior that was totally inappropriate. His comments did not reflect the views of CNN. We are reaching out to the caller and expressing our deep regret to her and apologizing that she did not get the courtesy entitled to her. "

Barely worth reporting, even for Drudge.  After some neocon calls and harrases a switchboard operator, said operator explodes at mr. clueless and sarcastically replies with "of course we did it" and the neocons say "AH HA! THEY ADMIT IT!!!"  wow... what a smoking gun.

Both George W. and Cheney are IDIOTS. Why those two DUNCES keep our soldiers in Iraq I will never fathom. To me, Iraq is a Vietnam in the making!


i think the powers-that-be are never gonna let that happen; they're just way too aware of vietnam.

well, i dunno, they might get cornered into it. but my tealeaves say the're gonna try and get the "iraqi military" all armored up (and bear in mind, what you're talking about when you say "iraqi military" is the shiite/kurdish factions, pumped full of U.S. aid and billed in a flagrant lie as representing the entire country) and then pull out; the kurds will promptly declare independence and without the sunnis to stop them they'll probably get it. then a civil war will ensue between the shiites and the sunnis and there'll be a bloodbath much like the ethiopian/eritrean war or the horror in rwanda. the press will cover it as such, "hey, look at this funky, exotic war happening halfway across the world that we wring our hands over but really, deep down, don't care about," and the press will do their best to make us forget about the fact that the administration CAUSED it.

that's really what i think willl happen. what they're trying to do right now is gun up the shiite faction so much that when the US pulls out the shiites will crush the sunnis quickly, but i dont think it will happen; the sunnis are too schooled in guerrilla tactics by now. if they can stump the US military they'll be able to stump the iraqis. but it's gonna be bad; have you seen these reports about shiite death squads? torture chambers? it's completely out of hand over there.

A few more years of this, and they'll want Saddam back. At least he had some control. Maybe a bit too much, I'll admit, but he won't be the first deposed tyrant revered as a hero when that which replaces him is worse.

well, they'll end up with something like saddam. the khmer rouge in cambodia was the result of a similar phenomenon, mass carpet bombing leading to massive internal disruption and anarchy, leading to an autocratic regime that feeds off the anarchy to create a horrible kind of repressive order through genocide. the idea makes my flesh crawl.

send your thank you letters to richard nixon and LBJ for that one.

or the reprisal killings in the factionalized yugoslavia. it'll be like that, only in the case of the former yugoslavia the US was to blame for not intervening fast enough; this time the shiites will be getting payback on the sunnis and we'll have caused it.

Domestically, they'll blame it on the press, they'll blame it on the liberals, and they'll blame it on the Democrats.  It doesn't matter how specious and stupid the arguments are...does it ever when it comes to the Right; when it comes to people whose greatest legal mind is Ann Coulter?
That's right!  Ann Coulter...ho ho ho!
;D

Ann Coulter is a skank ho,wonder if Bill O'Reilly is her pimp?Well then LBJ's 'Daisy' anti-Goldwater ad was right to the point!!!

O'Reilly was grilling a couple of students from UConn about why there was more debate over bringing Ann Coulter to campus than Cindy Sheehan.  Boy those kids were dull.  All I would say is, the difference between Coulter and Sheehan is Coulter has nothing constructive to offer.  Nothing.  All she does is insult people.  You'd think she was the bastard child of Twiggy and Don Rickles.  Of course, Don Rickles was witty, Coulter is merely invidious. 
The Right often complains about how "Conservatives" require security detail when they come to college campuses.  Coulter said on O'Reilly, "No liberal requires security, but I'd like to change that."  Oh, so she's advocating physical attacks upon liberals who speak on college campuses.  Sarcastic?  Or just dumb?
Of course, right-wingers don't do so well at forums to which the general public has access.  Their lair is the private forum, such as the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).  Such think tanks (propaganda mills) don't even invite people like Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky, or Ralph Nader to speak!  The public isn't invited, only selected syncophants.  This is how Bush designed his public speeches on his last campaign.
To bring it all back to Cheney, where was Cheney speaking on the CNN "X" night?  At the AEI!
