John Rue: Dick Cheney

Quotes 

• Dick Cheney : September 11 was a day like no other. We are dealing with evil people who hide in the shadows planning unimaginable violence and destruction. And I know there is not a man or a woman in this room who does not wait on the day that justice will be delivered. And it *will* be delivered.

  [applause] 

  Dick Cheney : There is... there is no neutral ground. Those who harbor terrorists share guilt for the acts they commit. This is a worldwide hunt to destroy terrorism. Whoever supports terrorists will be regarded as hostile to the United States. We have no alternative but to meet the enemy where he dwells. We did not ask for this trial, but it has come, and we will see it through to victory.

• Dick Cheney : Roger?

  Roger Ailes : Hello, Dick.

  Dick Cheney : This is about the book?

  Roger Ailes : You're damn right it's about the book. I mean, come on. Jesus Christ on a roller skate. If he's gonna talk to Woodward, what other ears is he bending?

  Dick Cheney : Karl denied that it was him.

  Roger Ailes : Oh, come on, you think I give a fuck about what he denies? Please.

  Dick Cheney : I understand you're upset.

  Roger Ailes : You should be, too. You're about to go to war, Dick. All right? And the rest of the country outside New York City, they don't know how they feel about that just yet. Fox News, we can tip that either way.

  Dick Cheney : The president and I value your support. We know we can't do this without you.

  Roger Ailes : Well, that's very nice to hear, Dick. But why don't you just start acting like that?

  Dick Cheney : I'll talk to Rove. You won't have any more problems.

  Roger Ailes : I don't think that's gonna be enough.

  Dick Cheney : I'm listening.

  Roger Ailes : We want full access. No more bullshit from your press shop. If I ask for someone, I want *that* someone. Whoever it is.

  Dick Cheney : Fine.

  Roger Ailes : I want Rumsfeld one-on-one with Brit Hume.

  Dick Cheney : Done.

  Roger Ailes : Thank you. One more thing. Look, you know...

  [clearing his throat] 

  Roger Ailes : No more Rove. If you want to talk to me, just call me. Just call me directly.
