The Vice President’s office has invited me up to D.C. this week to sit down with Vice President Cheney for an “exit interview” looking back over the past eight years.
It’s certainly an honor to have RedState invited in to his residence for a chat. As we are a community site, it should not be just me. Thought it will be me in person, here’s your chance to ask Vice President Cheney a question.
Leave it in the comments and I’ll make best efforts to ask your questions.

I Know What I'd Ask Him
IJB Saturday, January 3rd at 4:27PM EST (link)I’d ask him:
- What does he think the GOP needs to do to successfully block some/most/all of Obama’s/Reid’s/Pelosi’s agenda?
- And what does the GOP need to do politically so that they can bounce back in 2 & 4 years hence?
I’d be curious to hear what his answers are to that.
I’d also ask him if he has a horse (or two) in the RNC Chairman race.
How about?
phillyb Saturday, January 3rd at 4:34PM EST (link)How does it feel knowing that you are a war criminal responsible for the illegal invasion and occupation of a country that has led to the death of 1 million+ Iraqi’s and the discplacement of 4 million more?
What will you do when you and your gang of criminals are tried and found guilty of crimes against humanity in the Hague?

How can you justify the use by US agents of this war crime eligible tactics, since by many accounts, you sanctioned this?

kowalski (Diary) Saturday, January 3rd at 4:47PM EST (link)Will the vast expenditure of Federal money to bail out companies and institutions across the economy lead to inflation?
And #2:
Even if you accept the fact that the Federal expenditures in recent months have been necessary to keep banks operating, what information do you have that any of the rescued institutions are going to change their practices?

As to the banks changing their practices regarding
6eorge Jetson (Diary) Saturday, January 3rd at 6:22PM EST (link)investing in subprime mortgages, it’s already happened.
There is no market for these securities as there is no demand for them. It’s why the original TARP plan, “purchasing” these mortgages, would have proven so difficult. At what price? It would be very hard to get that right. More likely would the tax payers either A) Overpaying (boo!) or B) taking the banks to the cleaners (Yeah! Except that we’d destroy the banking system and the lending we’re trying to spur in the process.)
Don't worry
zuiko (Diary) Saturday, January 3rd at 8:44PM EST (link)It will be A when we get around to doing it (if we haven’t already… there’s trillions of dollars floating around outside of TARP and it’s a secret where most of that money has gone). It is always the taxpayers that get taken to the cleaners.

My biggest disappointment with this adminstration is it’s failure to take it’s case directly to the American people as so many adminstrations before have.
Please don’t feed us any crap about how they felt it just wasn’t “presidential” to do so. It would be nice if the presidency were apolitical, but it’s not.

2. What do you say to those critics that question your position on gay marriage, giving the fact you have a gay daughter?
3. What are some things the Republican Party must do to regain the respect of the American electorate?
4. What do you consider to have been your greatest mistake as Vice-President, and adversely, your greatest success?
5. Republicans have tried in the past to recruit your wife, Lynne, to run for elected office in Wyoming. Do you (a) believe she would ever run for public office and (b) would you support such a move?

My Question for the Vice President
JX12 (Diary) Saturday, January 3rd at 11:40PM EST (link)As of this writing, there are fewer than 17 days left in the tenure of this administration. Will anything – anything at all – be done about Iran before President-Elect Government assumes office? At this point, I might even settle for us pelting them with rolled-up newspapers. Just SOMETHING.
Or are we just going to sit back and hope that Israel takes care of the Iranian nuke problem for us? I assume that, after the 20th, the answer to that question will almost certainly be “yes,” so if the U.S. is going to put any kind of a dent in Iran’s nuclear program, it would seem we only have until the 20th to do it.
Tick tock.
