In the limited series Who is America?, Cohen interviewed some of the biggest names in American politics and embarrassed some of the most powerful conservative figures in the country, with the recently deceased Cheney appearing in one episode to speak to an Israeli military leader about the grand old time he had waging war in the Middle East. A year after he bamboozled a blissfully unaware Cheney with questions like “What is your favorite war?” and statements such as, “We wanted to get rid of Bush to see more Dick,” Cohen spoke to Don Cheadle for Variety about the surreal experience of playing one of the most powerful warmongers in American history for a fool. How am I going to get him to say things he’s ultimately going to regret?’” As it turns out, all Cohen had to do to trick one of the most shrewd and ruthless political operators (formerly) alive was to act like a torture device would make great memorabilia.
