I saw a replay of the interview and Blitzer went after Lynn because of a book she had written "sisters" some 25 years ago. Seems Webb running for Senate in Virginia in defending some of his books lit into Lynn.
Went like this:
WB: Democrats are now complaining bitterly in this Virginia race. George Allen using novels, novels that Jim Webb, his Democratic challenger, has written, in which there are sexual references. And theyre making a big deal out of this. I want you to listen to what Jim Webb said today in responding to this very sharp attack from George Allen.
LC: Now do you promise, Wolf, that were going to talk about my book?
WB: I do promise.
LC: Because this seems to me a mighty long trip around the merry-go-round.
WB: I want you to respond. This is in the news today, and your name has come up, so thats why were talking about it. But listen to this:
James Webb: Theres nothing thats been in any of my novels that in my view, hasnt been either illuminating the surroundings, or defining a character, or moving a plot. Im a serious writer. I mean, we can go and read Lynne Cheneys lesbian love scenes if you want to, you know, get graphic on stuff.
LC: You know, Jim Webb is full of baloney. I have never written anything sexually explicit. His novels are full of sexually explicit references to incest, sexually explicit references
well, you know, I just dont want my grandchildren to turn on the television set. This morning, Imus was reading from the novels, and its triple X rated.
WB: Heres what the Democratic Party put out today, the Democratic Congressional Senatorial Campaign Committee. Lynne Cheneys book featured brothels and attempted rape. In 1981, Vice President Dick Cheneys wife, Lynne, wrote a book called Sisters, which featured a lesbian love affair, brothels, and attempted rapes. In 1988, Lynne Cheney wrote about a Republican Vice President who dies of a heart attack while having sex with his mistress. Is that true?
LC: Nothing explicit. And actually, that is full of lies. Its not
its just absolutely not true.
WB: But you did write a book entitled Sisters.
LC: I did write a book entitled Sisters. This description
WB: And it did have lesbian characters.
LC: No, not necessarily. This description is a lie. Ill stand on that.
WB: There is nothing in there about rapes and brothels?
LC: Wolf, Wolf, could we talk about a childrens book for a minute?
WB: We can talk about the childrens book. But I just wanted to
LC: I think our segment is like 15 minutes long, and weve now done ten minutes, so
WB: I just wanted to clarify whats in the news today, give you a
LC: Sex, lies and distortion. Thats what it is.
WB: This is an opportunity for you to explain on these sensitive issues.
LC: Wolf, I have nothing to explain. Jim Webb has a lot to explain.
Then she lit into Wolf. Lynn's right and CNN has become a cesspool of Anti-American propaganda. Showing an enemies film of their killing of an American borders on Treason.
