I finally had an opportunity to watch the entire interview by Megyn Kelly of former Vice-President Dick Chaney today and I am "tongue-in-cheek" surprised. As many news outlets are broadcasting through social media, Megyn Kelly showed a side that has been rarely seen by 99% of Fox News anchors and journalist, to that I say, Not.Unfortunately, if you observe the video in it's entirety, you will see that Megyn Kelly is simply giving the former Vice-Pres an opportunity to refute his critics and lobby support for a new organization that undoubtedly his daughter, Liz Cheney, President for "The Alliance for a Strong America", will begin gathering support to position her for a bid in the highest office of America in 2020 (or maybe even 2016). After examining the the site www.StrongerAmerica.com, it was easy to recognize that many of the ideals of the present Tea Party have been carried over. Although, a major difference I recognized is that this organization seems to focus more on foreign policy than domestic.
As I viewed the video as linked directly by Fox News, what became immediately apparent was that Megyn Kelly was in no way challenging VP Cheney, but instead offering him pre-submitted softball insertions and an opportunity to refute claims that the Bush admin should take responsibility for the war in Iraq. He and his daughter Liz sang the song that we would expect and Megyn Kelly danced like only a Fox News anchor would. She was pleased with his answer and in addition offered ample time for the Cheney twins to pitch their new Anti-Obama/Anti-Liberal organization.
