The White House on Monday fired back after former Vice President Dick Cheney called the Obama administration's decision to open a probe into alleged CIA abuses an "outrageous political act."
White House Press Secretary Roberts Gibbs broadly dismissed Cheney's comments on "FOX News Sunday" as typical and unfounded.
"This is the same song and dance we've heard since literally the first day of our administration," Gibbs said. "The vice president ... clearly had his facts on a number of things wrong."
Gibbs did not call out Cheney on specific misstatements, but suggested the former vice president's criticism about a newly formed unit responsible for interrogating high-value detainees was off base. After Cheney ridiculed the unit, Gibbs said it would have participants from several law enforcement agencies and dismissed the notion that the White House would be making interrogation decisions.

What would an elephant be doing with a toothpick??
Enquiring minds want to know....
(Sorry - couldn’t resist...)
;)
O.K., Bobby, you dumbass. What's the point of putting the interrogation teams under direct White House control, then?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm???
Gads, would I like to see a Chaney vs Obama debate (a real one, not a CBS sponsored joke).
With a teleprompter, the loon would only lose big time.
Without it, it would be priceless.
Ah, the pleasure of watching the Obamaloon be verbally chopped, sliced, and pureed by someone like Chaney.
Cheney should challenge Gibbs to name the specifics.
Much as Gibbs is a doofus, I do think he is actually good for our side, or entertaining at a minimum.
Gibbs couldn’t fill Cheney’s slippers, let alone his shoes. If these two ever faced off, Gibbs would go running down the hallway crying....Obama, Obama....he made me look bad.
“Cheney has a hit a nerve and I say let’s go for the jugular.”
Watch the Kenyan throw Holder under the bus. Cheney scares the Kenyan.
Considering that Cheney is an Elephant I’m guessing it would be used to poke a Donkey in the Ass. Pun intended.

You bet it would After watching Dick Cheney slice & dice girlie-boy John Edwards in 2004 VP debates (and Edwards supposedly such a hot-shot trial lawyer), I would love to see Dick Cheney eviscerate the commie pig TOTUS 0bozo. Dick Cheney doesn't get rattled and 0bozo would be stammering & stuttering the whole time. Unfortunately 0bozo is a coward & a weenie, and this type of free wheeling debate will never take place.

We are talking about Prime Rib in Cheney vs the coarsely ground ends found on the butcher shop floor made into hamburger.
Cheney is what America is about: True Patriotism to his country.
GIBBS IS A DAMN TRAITOR!.....
So true, and yet I think Gibbsy knows that he’s usually firing blanks, and about half the time he manages to keep a straight face about it.
And, the underlying meaning being, that it wouldn't be happening with out Obama’s approval. Loved him repeating it.
They never do. All they do is feign indignation and the Puppy-love Press coos & swoons at the thought of a shirtless jOker.
Nothing to see here...move along...
Save for later read
The all time, all time quote on Gibbs was made by Victor Davis Hanson the other day in a TV interview......
"...and yet the Obama Administration continues to keep Robert Gibbs as it's spokesman, a Press secretary that makes Scott McClellan sound like Cicero in comparison"
...quote from memory, might not be dead-on but close!
That’s like Groucho Marx’s line: “I once shot an elephant in my pajamas...how he got in my pajamas, I’ll never know.”

Ya caught me — it was a shameless rip-off... ;)
