Arrest the Cheney's! Hey Liz, As far as I'm concerned YOU and YOUR DADDY are terrorist and traitors!

1. She did amazingly well to find common ground, there ain't much to stand on.

[KeepItReal]

2. The "premise" is so asinine, why bother joining the debate?

I'd debate C.B. on why she's using a dumb assed "premise" start with.

[The Wizard]

3. We're in greater danger from

Dick Cheney and his armed freepers.

[Why Syzygy]

4. First and last time I ever listen to Liz Cheney.

:puke:

5. Exactly How I Feel!

Why is this Repugnant talking-point woman on SO many shows? Again, the Repugnants are using women to hide their shame and expose their cowardice. Where are the Repugnant men? Are they not willing to publicly debate any of these issues? Why do we constantly have to listen to the wives and daughters of current politicians and the rantings of nonserving politicians?

[Why Syzygy]

6. The tag line said she was

former secretary or yada yada something of state? Wyoming? I had never heard of her until she started doing talk shows. Where did she come from? (Not worth it to go back and read again.)

7. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern affairs

9. This is the first I've ever heard of her.

I thought Cheney only had one daughter. Good thing she isn't looking for a job like a bunch of the other losers from the Bush misadministration.

Liz Cheney Says No to Running for Office, For Now

Dick Cheney fans, don't hold your breath over rumors that daughter Liz Cheney, her dad's most outspoken defender, has near-term plans to run for the House or Senate. While a passionate advocate for democracy in developing nations, she's busy now raising her kids and helping the former vice president write his memoirs covering 40 years in public life, among other missions. But Liz, 42, is not closing the door to a House or Senate bid in Virginia. "She spent her life around politics. She is not ruling it out," says a very close friend.

She will probably run for President in 2012. She's at least as qualified as Palin. Cat fight!
She certainly has her dad's hubris.

"I think that when we were in the months and years right after Saddam was deposed, there are things that I probably would do differently now," she said. "We had this sense that one could go into a nation like Iraq and if you sort of either arrested or removed from office the top layer of leadership that other Iraqis would sort of rise up and take over. I don't think we expected the population to be so traumatized. But I think what we saw is that after decades of Saddam's rule nobody was willing to step up and take over. People waited for instruction for everything."

10. It's like the matchbook guarding the gasoline.

Cronyism cubed!

Couple of things though.

1. We must get past the "national security" label. It's generic use to prevent disclosure of just about anything is a BIG inhibition to fact finding and sunshine.

2. I recommend cutting off the microphone. The era of "two or more people speaking simultaneously so that no one hears anything" needs to be pronounced OVER. I don't think it's any stretch of logic or surprise even that the phenomenon of the "talk show" format (wherein one speaker talked over another) emerged, grew and blossomed parallel to the rise and dominance of the "conservative" takeover of the airwaves and, by extension, the government.
Of course those same time lines also parallel the advent of for-profit prisons and the proliferation of gated community developments. Go figure.

8. I would have liked to have seen Walsh attempt this common ground

"No more detainees should be brought to Guantanamo in the future"

I wounder if Liz Cheney would have agreed with that? Or would she insist that Guantanamo was a good idea in the past that we should continue in the future?

11. Joan Walsh

is one articulate lady who has really toughened up. Liz Cheney? Getting to look more and more like her father. With a whiny, nagging voice like her mother. Yecccchhhhh.
