Mary Cheney Thinks Wolf “Was Trying To Get A Rise Out Of My Father”

By Brian 

The NYT has Mary Cheney‘s impressions of Wolf Blitzer‘s testy interview with her dad:

  Her father became testy last week during a CNN interview when the host, Wolf Blitzer, asked what he thought of conservatives, specifically James C. Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, who are critical of his daughter’s pregnancy. In refusing to answer, Mr. Cheney told his interviewer that he was ‘over the line.’

Ms. Cheney said in a brief interview after the panel discussion that she was not speaking for her father but that when she saw the CNN interview, she also felt Mr. Blitzer had crossed a line. ‘He was trying to get a rise out of my father,’ she said.
