Former Vice President Dick Cheney is, much to the prolonged chagrin of Chris Hayes, continuing on his media blitz in promotion of his memoir. That included a visit to Today, where Cheney told host Matt Lauer that, despite what detractors might say, the war in Iraq was “sound policy.” Lauer kicked things off with a very odd question: Does Cheney think there’s something about his demeanor that has people calling him “divisive”? (The correct response is: “Huh?”) Things became more interesting from there.

Today on Fox News Megyn Kelly and Trace Gallagher explored an embarrassing admission made by a Port of San Diego security officer who implied there were in fact weapons of mass effect found somewhere in San Diego. The Department of Homeland Security attempted to deny the officer’s unintentional reveal by suggesting he was confused and nervous, but the tape suggests he may have been overcome with those emotions only after he spoke about the supposedly found weapon.

At the Council of Foreign Relations, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice subjected herself to something not even Sarah Palin would be willing to endure: an interview with Katie Couric.

The Morning Joe team flashed back to around 2005 this morning, as co-host Joe Scarborough and regular guest Lawrence O’Donnell went at it over weapons of mass destruction, the lead up to the war in Iraq and the Bush administration.

All this came about after some more harsh comments aimed at Pres. Barack Obama by former VP Dick Cheney last night.
