Dick Cheney Talks Thick Skin And Sarah Palin: Doesn’t Understand Why She Resigned As Governor

Audio
» 180 comments

Former vice president Dick Cheney stopped by The Laura Ingraham Show, continuing his media blitz to promote his memoir. And while promotional interviews tend to sound like a series of echos after a while (think “enhanced methods of interrogation” played over and over and over on a loop, perhaps as an enhanced method of interrogation) , Cheney managed to offer a little something new regarding none other than former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

When asked by host Laura Ingraham for a couple of examples of qualities ” that are required, not constitutionally, but necessary” for the job of vice president, Cheney answered frankly:

Thick skin. You need the capacity to turn on the tube every night and watch the late night comedians make you the punch line, tell a lot of jokes, it goes with the turf and I’m not above telling a few of those stories myself. But the fact of the matter is you really do need to have the capacity to do what you think is right, to offer the advice you think the president of the country needs, you have to remember you are not in charge of anything, you don’t run anything as Vice President. And you do need to have thick skin, you’ll be subject to a lot of criticism, some of it funny, some of it not so funny.

Ingraham immediately followed up by asking Cheney about his thoughts on Palin. Does he think she was well-suited for the position?:

Well, I’ve never gotten around the question of her having left the governorship of Alaska midterm. I’ve never heard that adequately explained so that I could understand why, how she decided in her first term to step down and still be–I’d like to know more about that

    Cheney AND Palin? No one’s gonna comment on this one. ;)

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_M5V6VTQAVLARF7XXO47Z5OCZWM TangledThorns

    Dick is upset that Sarah Palin’s candidate beat his in Texas. He also doesn’t understand anything about how awesome Sarah Palin is either. 

  • Anonymous

    That’s exactly what I was gonna say. Cheney’s only mad that his candidate in Kay Bailey didn’t perform well enough. Perry needed Palin to take him over the top.

  • Anonymous

    Sarah Palin doesn’t understand why Dick Cheney looks like death warmed over, smells like a moldy cadaver, and sounds like a voice from the crypt.

  • RW

    I think he said he simply isn’t clear on her reasons for leaving her position early.  He made no judgement call.

  • Moosenuts99

    Cheney, it’s ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS

    Sarah doesn’t care for Alaska nor the USA

    She just wanted to GET HERS while the gettin’ was good! gonna be ALL OVER at the end of this month

  • Valkyrie101

    Dick is on board with Rove that Palin needs to be diminished.

  • Hagen619dj

    Your suggestion of Perry/Palin is a good one.  I do think that Mr. Cheney is a very intelligent man with a great deal of political knowledge. He has never given the impression of being ‘rattled’ about any situation. He is the kind of guy that you can’t “read’ because he always looks and sounds the same expressionwise. His new book  will enlighten those who want to be enlightened and to those who disregard it…well, all the better. Saves hearing all the derogatory stuff.

  • RW

    I agree Rove has some agenda.  Not so much with Cheney.

    In fact most neo-cons look like that.

    Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin.  Now there is one cute couple.  They neither one posess any integrity, they are both self serving, they both lie, they are both traitors to this nation and the truth is not in either one of them.  These two need to get married before Cheney’s next heart attack.

    How about three hundred meritless lawsuits from douche bags on the left, both from within and outside of Alaska. 

    This has been well documented…..to death in fact. I guess Cheney is not a fan of Palin by the looks of things……oh well.

    Cheney is a dick. Not original, but still the truth.

  • Anonymous

    I always thought of Cheney as an honest politician.  He didn’t much care who’s head rolled if need be..  He was/is the consummate Statesman.  He believed what he believed and acted accordingly.  

    I might not agree with him regarding his position on some issues, but I don’t think he did anything for political gain or personal gain.  

    I think the fact that Bush didn’t dump him when he appeared to be a liability raised Bush’s stature in Cheney’s eyes.  It also gives a completely different slant on Bush to the nay sayers.  Bush did not do what was politically expedient, he did what he felt was best for the Country and the Government.  Agree or disagree – rather a classy move I’d say.

  • Anonymous

    Why not?  I don’t think Cheney was into reading rags and probably not too familiar as to what Palin was subjected to personally and financially.  I don’t think Cheney deals in trash journalism.  Could be wrong – either way doesn’t change one hair on my head.

  • M Colins

    It’s hard for me to imagine anyone who has spent any time on that subject not understanding her reasons as she has delineated them a number of times.  After the 08 campaign a big red target was painted on her back and in a relatively short time after returning to Alaska numerous ethics lawsuits were filed by the Democrats and she was on the road to personal bankruptcy. She believed that despite the fact they were winning them, (I think one of them  took issue with her husband Todd pushing for the firing of some state official who had abused his daughter), she was spending all her time defending herself, not running the state and becoming penniless in the process.

    There had never been this level of dissatisfaction or scrutiny before she ascended the national stage, so clearly there was a national strategy on the Left to discredit her to prevent her from having a similarly galvanizing effect on conservatives in a possible future national political campaign.
    Her decision was probably the right one for the state and her personally as the new governor was actually allowed to govern and free of the scrutiny she was free to embark on a lucrative career as a prominent figure in conservative circles, becoming in the 2010 elections a “kingmaker in many races.

    Whether or not politically she will be damaged from resigning has yet to be seen, but she continues to draw more than her fair share of vitriol from the Left and one knows that her resignation would become a centerpiece for ad campaigns against her.

    Frankly I dont know why she would run, its not worth the headaches.  She enjoys a great influence among the conservatives and Tea Partiers, and had the added bonus of driving the Left absolutely bat shit and concentrating on her rather than Conservatives who are actually in the race and this is all without having to re enter the crucible of partisan politics.

    Yep. And what’s pathetic is that is her major concern right now over whether she would run. She would have to suspend her Fixed News contract, forego 100K speaking fees, etc. But is running the gasoline her image needs to make bigger bucks six months from now? She knows there isn’t a chance in helll she could even win the GOP primary. It’s all about what is best for her financial stakes. To run or not to run? That is the question.

    Sorry but Clinton went to Russia to demonstrate against the U.S.  A lot of those guys did many stupid things in their youth.  

    p.s.  He didn’t “dodge” the draft – because they went out of the Country.  So, want to rephrase your hate?  
    I didn’t tell you, your opinion was stupid (and Lord knows it’s not based on truth) – so I would appreciate you staying the hell out of my life and do not attempt to tell me what I should do.

    p.s.  Want to name “many of his peers”?   Thought not.

    Yeah because no Democrat politician ever went out and collected millions in speaking fees and book deals.  It’s hard to reason with people who start off with hate and follow it up with bullshit.  The amount of “frothing” about Cheney dissing Palin (mentioned in another post here) is nothing to compare to the pure unadulterated venom thats spews from the Left on the subject of Palin.  You guys must spend hours afterwards digging your boxers out of your cracks.

  • Gorgegirl

    I don’t think the fact that a politician goes out and speaks, collects good speaking fees is the question.  I recall the first former President to get a big fee was when George H Bush ot  $200,000 from a Japanese company.  But, George H Bush had a lot of experience behind him – Sarah Palin doesn’t. I mean, she spent very little time as governor- after all she was only governor from Jan 2007 to July 2009.  George H Bush had not only been a congressman, headed the CIA, ambassador, and Vice president for 8 years before he became president.

    Seriously? That is demonstrably and laughably false.  Obama has already in not even 3 years increased the national debt by what it took Bush/Cheney 8 years to accomplish. His unemployment rate has not been under 8% since 6 months into his term.

    One can make a case for whether philosophically they agreed or not with the direction Cheney and Bush took us in, but certain things are facts.  And in literally every metric of measurement used to criticize the previous President, Obama is doing substantially worse.

  • M Colins

    So because in your estimation, Palin is not worth the speaking fees she commands we should all believe as you do.  In our system, what you are paid is determined by what people are willing to pay you. If you are not uncomfortable with illiterates, criminals, and perverts receiving millions in the acting and professional sports fields, why would you ever have a problem with a woman who has a message that resonates enough with certain segments that they are willing to pay handsomely to hear it?

    You have no clue do you. Did you see the recent headline that the major banks needed a $1.2 trillion, that is right, trillion cash infusion as a result of the sub-prime mortgage fiasco. This completely gutted the construction industry and this part of our economy has not recovered. This clearly was not Obama’s fault and the buck stops where? The spending was necessary to prevent a complete meltdown. When the FDIC seizes a bank, all the bank’s loans are immediately due because the FDIC is not a bank. Good companies can go get other banks to refinance. But in 2008, how many companies had AAA balance sheets? Obama was handed a bag of you know what from Bush. The credit markets were frozen? Does that ring a bell? Why were they frozen? Because no one knew if the large banks could or would survive. Citicorp was around $33 a share at the end of 2007. Take a guess at what their stock dropped to? $2-3 a share.

    You are completely all over the map here.  I don’t think you understand what you’re saying except that you’ll engage in pretzel logic to absolve Obama. Are you trying to say Obama doesn’t get any blame for the stimulus or healthcare or his idiotic pursuit of Cap and Trade or being the most overtly anti-business President we have ever elected, insisting on Keynesian economic moves rather than what has gotten us out of virtually every recession prior to this? But Bush gets blame for the subprime meltdown which was literally 20 years in the making while Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and the whole CBC ran interference for Franklin Raines when Bush tried to rein in FNMA 2 years before the meltdown occurred? Or 9-11 for pete’s sake, was that his fault that Clinton gutted intelligence and his State Department made it illegal for foreign and domestic intelligence agencies to share in the kind of information that might have stopped 9-11?

    Can you be so absolutely obtuse to think that Obama is blameless for the moves hes made which have worsened things while Bush is to blame for everything?  I have no idea what you do, but I am a banker and I watched the feeding frenzy leading up to the subprime meltdown and watched how it was aided and abetted by government who literally dragged lenders to water and then acted shocked that they drank.  The oversight of the GSE (Fannie and Freddie) was non existent and you can literally watch frickin videos on YouTube of the regulators Bush put into place being run out of congressional meetings by the CBC while Frank and Waters and others insisted that everything was ok.If you want to appear to have any sort of intelligence at all, it would do you well to start understanding that the problem is government, both Democrat and Republican.

    G.W. was handed a booming economy, and a budget surplus, and what did he do?  He did what he said he would do if he were to be elected.  Give you back your MONEY!  Being the GREEDY citizens that you are, that was enough to get your votes. I never heard anything from any Republican about; the National Debt, Fixing Social Security and Medicare, or doing anything about Health Care for the Millions of Citizens without any Health Insurance.

    I don’t understand it. Why can’t you improve your reading comprehension? I said Perry would make a better President than Palin. I am going by the fact he’s been elected 3 times as Governor. Palin’s been only elected once and she quit halfway.
    Did I say Perry would make an outstanding President? No, I did not.

    I hope you are not a typical voter. If so, then our Country is going to Hell-in-a-handbasket.

    Blame the mortgage fiasco on Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. Who controlled both Houses of Congress and the White House from 2002-06? Hint, it was not the Democrats. So if the Republicans could not set up the proper regulatory schemes, it is their fault. The rest of your story is pure B.S. Read Henry Paulson’s book.

    Doesn’t seem complicated at all. I’m pretty sure Dick understands money.

    Maybe he can’t understand why she wouldn’t pursue money and power. I mean, how are you ever going to start a war , if you can’t get through one term as Governor?

    The Clinton budget surplus is a myth for the people who do not pay attention.  There was none, only a projected one which did not materialize. And the only way the Left could even pretend there was a projected surplus was through the bipartisan accounting trick of adding the SS trust fund back in when it is literally spent before it ever gets there. Further the economy had had already turned down ward for the last year of Clinton’s term.  We were in an economic contraction due to the collapse among other things of all the dotcoms.  This not to say a recession because under normal circumstances it is a natural part of the economic cycle. We would have climbed out of it if it weren’t for 9-11.  So apparently you’re mad that Bush didn’t run surpluses from day one despite economic downturn and 9-11 and the fact that it took Clinton 7 years to ALMOST balance the budget and it happened as a complete surprise to him.  And lets face it, the only thing that Democrats didn’t like about Bushes spending initiatives were that they felt that they didn’t go far enough.

    If you never heard Republicans talking about the National Debt, Social Security, and Medicare then you have clearly been living under a rock for the past 20 years.  Most of the time they’re the ONLY ones talking about it. Perhaps the sense of urgency regarding the debt wasn’t there before but since the debt is now equal to the GDP we’ve reached a tipping point which needs to be addressed.

    As for your apparent belief that Obamacare has solved anything, that truly amazes me.  He lied in saying it was deficit neutral and it has contributed to the unprecedented growth of the deficit.  Bushes largest deficit was $470billion while Obama’s smallest one has been $1.3 trillion.  He has added $4 trillion in not even 3 years. Obamacare is a job killing deficit exploding ticket to rationed healthcare.  And you speak as though its in effect, the fact is we’re in year two of collecting tax revenue for it before it actually goes into effect year after next. Then you will really see the cost explode  because government always underestimates the cost of it initiatives and the certainty that a huge percentage of the private sector is going to stop offering its private healthcare.  All we can do is hope the GOP takes the Senate and White House next year and move quickly to end Obamacare which 60% of the American people were against anyway.

    The Republicans have been talking about the National Debt for 20 years? Obviously, you missed your meds today. If they were so concerned about the National Debt, why did ol’ Georgie go out and borrow nearly $1 trillion from the RED CHINESE. Congratulations. You win the brass ring for coming up with some of the most ridiculous posts I have ever read. You really need to go to one of Breitbart’s website. You will find many Obama haters there and are also blinded by the facts.

  • Anonymous

    Perhaps before you start pontificating you should know what the hell you are talking about.  Haliburton did not gain drilling rights on federal land fool.  Haliburton is not an Oil and Gas Company.  It drills for companies that hire it to do so.  Haliburton has been doing so well before Cheney was born fool.  

    Don’t even attempt to question me about oil and gas cause you lose every time.  Know a hell of a lot more about it than you do, and ever hope to.  Still rather involved. lol

    In your attempts to bad mouth Cheney and Haliburton, perhaps you should find out who and what they are instead of taking your talking points from left wing bloggers and environmentalist freaks.

    Let me help you out Mr Vice President. She couldn’t handle the fact that her behavior in the troopergate scandel which an independent investigation found her behavior to be unethical and the subsequent suits brought against her, she just couldn’t handle the heat and found it easier to quit than to fight. She found it much easier and profitable to make speeches and write books. The $12 million she made a year after resigning is much more profitable than the roughly $120,000 governor’s salary. She’s not a fighter, she’s a quitter with thick skin and does not belong as a candidate for the nomination. If she couldn’t handle the heat in Juno, how would she be able to handle it in the white house.

  • Hehilljr

    How can you consider either one for President? It would seem to me that how many times one has been elected to an office has no bearing on their qualification for the highest office in the Country. What they have said and what they have done in the past gives a better indication of their overall qualifications, would’nt you say?

    So you say it’s not okay to be gay
    Well, I think you’re just evil
    You’re just some racist who can’t tie my laces
    Your point of view is medieval

    Do you get, do you get a little kick
    Out of being small minded?
    You want to be like your father
    It’s approval you’re after
    Well, that’s not how you find it

    Do you, do you really enjoy
    Living a life that’s so hateful?
    ‘Cause there’s a hole where your soul should be
    You’re losing control a bit
    And it’s really distasteful

    Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
    ‘Cause we hate what you do
    And we hate your whole crew
    So please don’t stay in touch

    Fuck you, fuck you very, very much

    So please don’t stay in touch

    Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
    Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
    Fuck you

    You say you think we need to go to war
    Well, you’re already in one
    ‘Cause it’s people like you that need to get slew
    No one wants your opinion

    Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
    ‘Cause we hate what you do
    And we hate your whole crew
    So please don’t stay in touch

    Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
    ‘Cause your words don’t translate
    And it’s getting quite late
    So please don’t stay in touch
