‘Die’: Dick Cheney calls Snowden a ‘traitor,’ zings Obama; Hate explodes

New tone!

As Twitchy reported, the former vice president’s interview on “Fox News Sunday” was interrupted by a whoops-phone call. However, Mr. Cheney still managed to offer up some of his insight regarding the NSA surveillance scandal. And, of course, a zinger or two.

Dick Cheney on Fox: I don't pay very much attention, quite frankly, to what Barack Obama says.

Cheney, on Fox: "I don't pay a lot of attention, frankly, to what Barack Obama says … I'm obviously not a fan of the incumbent president."

Snap! Awesome.

Dick Cheney also called the NSA leaker, Edward Snowden, a traitor.

A predictable response ensued.

Dick Cheney called Edward Snowden a "traitor." That coming from a war criminal. Go figure. #tcot

Sigh. At least get some new lines, people. Then came the oh-so-classy death wishes and curse-filled name-calling.

@Anomaly100 Well, STFU Dick Cheney!

@Anomaly100 @francie57 That "undisclosed location" Cheney goes to? Definitely Hell. Has to report in every now & then.

Reminder: we should not give a single solitary fuck about anything Dick Cheney says unless it's "I'm dying."

Can Dick Cheney just die already?

Dick Cheney – who is STILL alive, is making such a dick of himself on Fox. Can see he hasn't lost his touch of supreme lying. Die Cheney!
