Watch: Live Feed Is Cut When Protester With Handcuffs Tries To Arrest Dick Cheney
While Politico was live streaming an interview with Dick Cheney and his family, the feed was abruptly cut on Monday when a protester with handcuffs accused the former vice president of being a war criminal.
According to Raw Story, the host, Mike Allen, began the Politico Playbook event by asking Dick Cheney, his wife Lynne, and his daughter Liz if they discussed politics at home.

Naturally, Lynne Cheney then took the opportunity to take a swipe at Hillary Clinton, saying that she was not “dead broke” when her husband was nominated for vice president in 2000.
Liz Cheney went on to praise her parents for involving their children in politics from an early age.
Raw Story reports:
About that time, someone in the audience began to yell that Dick Cheney was a “war criminal,” which caused Lynne Cheney to chuckle.
“Four more years! Four more years!” Liz Cheney shouted.
For a moment, the camera panned to the audience, where a woman wearing a pink sign and holding up a pair of handcuffs was being detained by security. Seconds later, the video went to black.
“And we are having some problems with the feed coming to us from the Politico Playbook lunch,” a C-SPAN announcer eventually explained.

It reminded me of the end of Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the cops show up and the film just stops rolling. Did Politico recent hire a group of llamas to produce their videos?

That explains why the guy running the sound board had coconut halves.

. . . . and the interviewer’s odd fascination with the flight paths of African sparrows.

“When (felony, now pleaded guilty $180M+ briber) was asked to be VP I wasn’t sure that was such a good idea…”-?-Cheney selected himself as GWB’s VP. Lol It’s impossible for them to ever be honest. How about an all expenses paid vacation to the Hague for you and your pals reenacting a war crimes tribunal so realistic you’l swear you’ve been convicted!

Poor Dickie. So vilified! So maligned! He just can’t seem to garner any respect no matter where he goes.

Someone should attempt to halt the feed every time he gets near a microphone or camera.

The Cheney clan are merrily skipping their way down the Yellow Brick Road of politics in a futile effort to salvage their decimated legacy:
Fittingly, his wife lacks a brain, his daughter lacks courage, and of course, the Dickster himself lacks a heart … and a soul.

You honor the human race with wisdom and wit, Thank you.
