Update: Ian has the video
Drudge **Exclusive**
At 11:04:45 AM ET Monday CNN was airing Vice President Dick Cheney's speech live from the American Enterprise Institute in Washington -- when a large black 'X' repeatedly flashed over the vice president's face!
The 'X' over Cheney's face appeared each time less than a second, creating an odd subliminal effect.
As this DRUDGE REPORT screen capture reveals, while one 'X' flashed over Cheney's face CNN ran a headline at the bottom of its screen: "CHENEY: I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS WRONG TO CRITICIZE."
One top White House source expressed concern about what was aired over CNN.
"Is someone in Atlanta trying to tell us something?"
A CNN spokesman did not return repeated calls late Monday night.
Ignoranance...I will drive downtown and have a damn word with those jerks. A little egg in the face maybe?

Hey, maybe it was somebody trying to say they were recalling their vote from the last presidential election (cheeky grin).

it's the vast liberal media conspiracy - CNN is practically a communist network. they just can't stand to see us fighting for freedom and liberty and justice in the GWOT of which Iraq is the centerpiece, so they put x marks on cheney

No glitch, Fitzgerald's Mr. X is about to oust Cheney.
You boys are a tad slow in the head.

The offical word from CNN, per the Hannity and Combs show tonight was that it was a glitch. They gave more detail about what happened but I didn't understand the tech information.

CNN has been unwatchable for quite some now. Their agenda is deliberate. Lou Dobbs is the only thing worth a damn over there.

What a bunch of stupid asses. Passive-aggressive behavior is always effective.
