Former Vice President Dick Cheney shocked NBC’s Jamie Gangel by removing the battery from the heart pump that is keeping him alive. “Could you just show me out it works?” Gangel asked Cheney during an interview that aired Monday. “Sure, it’s got a pump inside that’s tied into my heart,” the former vice president explained. “It’s powered by batteries. They’re good for about ten hours. When you take them out it beeps.” Cheney then laughed as he disconnected the battery and the device began to beep. “Please put it back in,” Gangel pleaded.
He says it's her last chance and her next week's schedule looks like a candidate's schedule not a celebrity's schedule, not to mention that her new video (in Iowa) looks like a campaign video.
“I suppose I could have added that since we somehow acquired the most dismal, virtually unsingable, Dirge of a National Anthem of any known Nation, we should decorate Hendrix for turning it into music.”--Dick Cavett
“I don’t know, man. All I did was play it.
I’m American, so I played it.
I used to sing it in school.
They made me sing it in school, so it was a flashback.”
Cavett interrupted the interview to point out to the audience:
“This man was in the 101st Airborne, so when you send your nasty letters in…”
Cavett then explained to Hendrix that whenever someone plays an “unorthodox” version of the Anthem:
“You immediately get a guaranteed percentage of hate mail.”
Hendrix then respectfully disagreed with Cavett’s description.
“I didn’t think it was unorthodox, I thought it was beautiful.”
