ATLANTA - Following Vice President Dick Cheney's appearance on CNN's "Situation Room'' last week, Cheney issued a 'fatwa' against CNN news anchor Wolf Blitzer. Cheney promised a lucrative "Halliburton-style government contract," as well as a full Presidential pardon to the person(s) who kill the popular newsman. On the program, Blitzer asked if the Vice President cared to respond to a statement from James Dobson's Focus on the Family regarding the pregnancy of Cheney's lesbian daughter Mary. Dobson's statement was as follows: "Mary Cheney's pregnancy will result in a little, cloven-hooved, child of Satan entering the Vice President's family, which must be of some concern to a traditionalist like the Vice President." Blitzer asked if the Vice President cared to respond to the statement, and Cheney responded: "I think your question is inappropriate." Then Cheney turned and looked directly into the camera: "And mark my words Wolf, you will now die."
Sources close to the Vice President were not surprised. "Bring up Mary Cheney and you disappear," said a staffer who asked to remain anonymous. "James Brown talked about Mary in early December, and even though he told everyone 'I feel good,' you saw what happened to him." The staffer also said, "about a third of the detainees in Guantanamo are there on Mary Cheney-related charges. And Harry Whittington, the guy Cheney shot, well, he only got the 'M-' sound out when Dick plugged him. If he had said the whole name, he'd be dead now."
Blitzer immediately went into hiding at an undisclosed location; ironically, it turned out to be the same undisclosed location where Cheney hides, so Blitzer was forced to move somewhere else.
