WOW! Excellent interview! Really very good. And, Lawrence, it is great to have you back in the driver's seat helping to steer America back on course. I hope you are doing well, we've all missed you.
As for the pitiful Mr. Cheeny and his book,"Lies in My Time", there's no need for further comment.
Who's book are we talking about? This guy is still dodging the draft after 45 years. Dick is living on borrowed time, and we're tired of making the payments.
And the Last Word. Stop advertising Exxon-Mobil on your station and your website. If they pay you, you speak for them.
Cheney is a traitor and a turncoat. I would not trust anything he says. I wouldn't buy this book. He sounds like a spin doctor who is spinning things to make himself look good. Once a slimy Republican, always one. He's a slimy one.
I wish MSNBC would stop advertising for Exxon. I even sent them e-mail asking them to stop. I got no response. If you don't want to see these commercials write them. Eventually they will get the hint.
War crimes, above the law so he thinks. This book sounds like it is a confession, and daring the DOJ to do anything about it. Always was King George and President Cheney. King George not smart enough, President Cheney sleezy. The total destruction they did to this country and to the people in this country and not held accountable is unbelievable. Yet it happened to us. Would we allow this again, I sure hope not. I hope we have gotten smarter than this about electing someone with a 1.95 GPA. Cheney is bragging about unlawful things and trying to bring down a lot of good people. He is the one who needs to go to jail. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK.
Hey Betty.. hate to break it to you, but it is happening again. Now. Only its much worse this time. Open your eyes. In case you are not paying attention, things are accelerating to the downside and its been three years since the last scum left. We now have the new scum. It has nothing to with dems or repubes. We are being robbed by Goldman Sachs & the banking elite. And King Baruck is very much their man.
@Albert & Betty,
Yep. Albert you hit the nail on the head. The article on this link speaks for itself and is very distressing indeed.
I have created a petition. I'm not sure it will do any good but I felt that I had to do something. Please sign and pass it on.

Valerie and Joe real patriots! And our so called justice system provided no access to real justice!
Lawrence and Last Word team you might want to have Marcy Wheeler on your program. aka Emptywheel.net. Marcy was the first blogger to be given permission to blog about the Plame trial from the press room during the trial She has written a book called "The Anatomy of Deceit" which clearly explains the chronological order Valerie and Joe have stated that Marcy knows more about the Plame outing, investigation than they do. Marcy Wheeler would make a great guest on your program. She is a highly respected investigative blogger and researcher. She would be able to talk about the Plame outing, Cheney, torture etc with great expertise. Please have her on to discuss these issues.

Folks should link this interview all over the place. Plame and Wilson deserve justice. The Iraqi people deserve justice. American soldiers who have died and been injured based on a "pack of lies" deserve justice.
Cheney should be on trial at the Hague along with the other WMD's in Iraq liars.
As Valerie Plame so clearly pointed out Cheney feels no shame, no responsibility for his crime against her or towards those he is responsible for being dead based on his lies.
Call your Reps. Contact the International Criminal Court. It is not to late to see Cheney in an orange jump suit or in a cage being held accountable for these crimes against humanity. Push at other MSM outlets to get Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson on. Just contacted the BBC.
Push for accountability

Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson make Dickhead Cheney and Dumbya McFlightsuit look more like Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber than before.
It is unfortunate that the courts didn't have the balls to allow Ms. Plame and Mr. Wilson to pursue their lawsuit against Dickhead, Dumbya and the rest of the cabal of criminals in the McFlightsuit admuddlestration. They committed downright treason by outing her as a CIA operative - they should both be in the gallows for being traitors.
Dickhead and McFlightsuit, with their fake machismo, fake patriotism and cowardly punk-asses, have done more to destroy this country and the office of the President than any actions by all previous presidents - combined.
Great interview, Lawrence! Cheney still whinning about Dumbya not pardoning The Scooter is ridiculous. Pardon Scooter, the other two bums, Bush and Cheney belong in jail for their war crimes!
PS: Great to have you back, Lawrence. Sorry for your loss.
Thank you for the excellent Wilson/Plame interview but I'm writing about another segment on the same show.
It is about blow hard Perry's Texas and North Dakota success. The later has the North Dakota Bank, founded in 1919, and has successfully operated ever since. May I suggest that you, or your producers, take a close look at it's contribution to ND's low unemployment, low taxes, and high level of public services. Presently about eleven states, including my own California, are looking into starting their own state bank. It's a story worth looking into: The National Banking Institute is an excellent place to start.
Keep up the good work.
Wilson/Plame interview Excellent..
Cheney is prime for a war crimes investagation
What a bunch of wack jobs, if any of you ever get out of your parents basement and join the real world than maybe what you have to say would be worthwhile.
Until then, time to move on and get a life, and love the petition idea, you should get far with that and the bloggers book? Who the frig cares what a no name writer wannabe has to say about this topic.
When you are ready to play with the big boys, leave your basements and stup sucking in mommys teet....
What about Presidential candidates living in there sons basement?
Voter fraud is a crime.
Above the law, the tea breaker's mantra.........
mayflower,
very good.
At long last Dick Cheney has rendered a service to his country. He's put his lies out there for everyone to see, and those of us with children will have lessons to teach them for many years.
I urge everyone to see the movie "Fair Game" about this story; I couldn't stand Sean Penn until I saw this one, and he's absolutely sterling as Joseph C. Wilson IV.
Ooooh! I got it!
WE NEED ANOTHER WILSON IN THE WHITE HOUSE!
Naw, not Joe. I think he would be an awesome First Dude, though...
Valerie in 2016!
I cannot believe this interview because this website advertised Exxon/Mobil. Take a hike.
How hilarious, stupid, desperate is Lawrence to act like he did not read the book. Words to big for you?
All i have to say is thank god for Bush and Cheney.... Those 2 people are true patriots.... To see what kind of tourture our enemy would do to us in a minute for information, i think waterboarding is just fine if it works. Lawerence is just a left wing douchebag and does NOTHING but bash the right with anything he can, and Mr. Cheney is 100000000 times smarter then odonnell.. god bless Mr. Cheney
David
You are absolutely just a little RIGHT of
Genghis Khan
Duke is a classic example of why people should never do drugs. Cheney has been out of office for almost three years yet he is STILL trying to justify his actions, now with a book. Face it Dick, yourself and bush will go down in history as the most corrupt, incompetent and dishonest President and VP in the history of these united states.
Bush and Cheney are not patriots because if they were there would not have been a war in Iraq that killed so many of our troops. One other thing, Bush should have spend the money to find Bin Laden. So Duke take that and think again. Read all of the information about those 2 and I don't mean their books, you will find some completely strange things that were done which most americans are not aware of.
In My Time -> "Not intended to be factual". May Cheny burn in hell for his self serving, unpatriotic actions. He should have gone on trial and been sentenced for war crimes and treason.
Exactly
I'm a little disappointed with MSNBC! They try to be the liberal answer to Fox. Yet they have ads for Exxon oil sands and Safe (sic) mining of natural gas. You can't be liberal and then have that kind of advertising. Welcome Comcast!!!
Excellent interview with Joe & Valerie!!! Love your show!!!
Did you catch Dick Cheney on Morning Joe on 9/01? He is now blaming the Iraq war on President Clinton. Saying that actually President Clinton started it by making a speech critical of Sadam. WTF?
