Cheney unconcerned with critics in new documentary
The former vice president got straight to the point in R.J. Cutler's latest documentary "The World According to Dick Cheney," telling the filmmaker he doesn't care what his critics think.
"I don't lay awake at night thinking 'gee, what are they going to say about me now?'" Cheney remarks in the upcoming film.
In an interview forABC's "This Week," Cutler responded "He does say a lot that he's not interested in what people think about him, but it's hard to imagine that he's not invested in what his legacy is. He is a significant figure of American history."
The documentary, which premieres March 15 on Showtime, features an extensive interview with the retired politician and offers a rare glimpse into Cheney's life since leaving Washington.
Cutler said he was strategic in approaching Cheney about appearing on the big screen.
"I was advised early on that the best path to getting him to participate would be patience," Cutler said. "And indeed it took seven months between the time that I first reached out to him and the time that he invited me to have lunch with him to discuss what my plans were for the film."
The director, whose previous documentaries include "The War Room" and "A Perfect Candidate," said he was driven by a desire to find out more about the polarizing political figure.
"Making a film like 'The World According to Dick Cheney,' you need to enter most of all with curiosity," Cutler said. "Not with expectations, not with preconceived notions, but with questions."
After many lengthy interviews with Cheney, and even accompanying him on a fishing excursion, Cutler gained unique insight into the former vice president's political strategy.
"He does not feel there is room for compromise," Cutler said. "I think it raises the question, when total conviction serves a democracy and when it can be problematic for democracy. And that's a question that, to me, is worth considering not only in the specific analysis of the George W. Bush presidency and his relationship with Vice President Cheney and Vice President Cheney's career, but in thinking about democracy from a larger view. And so, this was a major reason why we wanted to make this film and something that I was really excited about exploring.."

Ask Stanford Med: Pediatric immunologist taking questions on ...
Food allergies among children are a growing public health concern. An estimated six million children in the United States suffer from food allergies, and nearly 40 percent have experienced a?severe allergic reaction as a result of consuming a food.
A recent New York Times Magazine story took a closer look at the issue and the research of Kari Nadeau, MD, PhD, a pediatric immunologist at Stanford and Lucile Packard Children?s Hospital. As my colleague previously reported, Nadeau has demonstrated that it?s possible to desensitize children to a single food allergen and is now working to identify treatments to safely address multiple food allergies at the same time.
To continue the conversation, we?ve asked Nadeau to respond to your questions about children?s food allergies and her ongoing projects at the Stanford Alliance for Food Allergy Research. Questions can be submitted to Nadeau by either sending a tweet that includes the hashtag #AskSUMed or posting your question in the comments section below. We?ll collect questions until Friday (March 15) at 5 PM Pacific Time.
When submitting questions, please abide by the following ground rules:
- Stay on topic
- Be respectful to the person answering your questions
- Be respectful to one another in submitting questions
- Do not monopolize the conversation or post the same question repeatedly
- Kindly ignore disrespectful or off topic comments
- Know that Twitter handles and/or names may be used in the responses
Nadeau?will respond to a selection of the questions submitted, but not all of them, in a future entry on Scope.
Finally ? and you may have already guessed this ? an answer to any question submitted as part of this feature is meant to offer medical information, not medical advice. These answers are not a basis for any action or inaction, and they?re also not meant to replace the evaluation and determination of your doctor, who will address your specific medical needs and can make a diagnosis and give you the appropriate care.
