Tanya Acker Slams Terry Holt for His Defense of Dick Cheney

So what does a good little Bushie do when he gets all of his talking points shot down by the liberal guest on the air? Why start talking over them of course and say you don't want to talk about the past any more. Tanya Acker whacks around Bushie Terry Holt's talking points on how Dick Cheney is supposed to be some terrorism expert, and since she's getting the better of him of course he just starts talking over her until Candy Crowley throws him a life jacket and ends the segment.
One thing Acker didn't call Holt out on is that "vast bureaucracy" he was carping about, was put in place by his former boss, not the Obama administration. I don't know why anyone ever thought making The Department of Homeland Security was going to make any of the agencies functioning under it work better. Of course Candy Crowley wasn't going to correct Holt for any of his hackery. That might be expecting her to act like a journalist instead of a referee.
CROWLEY: Terry, you know, listen...
HILL: Sure, Candy.
CROWLEY: ...I just think that people out there sit and listen to the former vice president sort of going after the president, saying he's not taking this seriously enough. And I want to read you a quote from Congressman Eric Massa. He is a Democrat of New York. And he had this to say when he wrote on the Huffington Post: "I, for one, am sick and tired of these Bush-era chicken hawk politicians that never served in uniform attacking Democrats on national security when, in fact, they are largely to blame for our nation's current national security problems."
Is anybody covering themselves in glory when -- I've got to believe most Americans were certainly frightened when they heard about the attack on Christmas -- about the near attack on Christmas Day. And we've got everybody sort of firing about who's to blame.
