Liz Cheney is such a doll

[impik]

She really is her father's daughter:

Liz Cheney called out President Obama for his early-morning trip to honor fallen soldiers arriving at Dover Air Force Base yesterday, suggesting President Bush honored America's heroes with a bit more class than his successor.
Cheney, on Fox News Radio's John Gibson Show yesterday:
"I think that what President Bush used to do is do it without the cameras. And I don't understand sort of showing up with the White House Press Pool with photographers and asking family members if you can take pictures. That's really hard for me to get my head around...It was a surprising way for the president to choose to do this."It's not clear exactly what Cheney is referring to when she says, "Bush used to do it without the cameras."
It's true that Bush's Pentagon continued a long-standing policy of banning cameras at Dover when the nation's fallen arrived in flag-draped caskets from foreign battlefields. (Upon taking office, Obama lifted the ban.)
So that covers "without the cameras."
But as CBS's Mark Knoller reported yesterday, Obama was the first president to visit arriving dead at Dover during the wars in Afghanistan or Iraq -- meaning that when it came to taking trips to Dover like Obama did yesterday morning, Bush never used to "do it" at all.

1. But you see, when Bush didn't do it he didn't have cameras along

so there is no photographic evidence of him not doing it, therefore, he DID do it. Get it?

you have sunk as low as one can go.

17. And the right takes the bait. Obama has played this perfectly.

I'll bet he practiced that salute at every chance he got to get it down perfectly. It looks like a powerful scene from a movie and sends chills up one's spine to see him salute as the casket is carried by. Especially since he is so clearly sincere and genuine.

Every single time the right criticizes it will be played on cable TV. I don't think the White House is too concerned about that. The more it plays with the right cackling in the background, the more people will get annoyed as it ruins the moment of this solemn occasion. I think this strategy is going to backfire big time and is probably why we didn't hear more of this type of criticism yesterday.

Liz fell right into Obama's trap. I'm sure there are some Republican strategists that would love to kick her ass.
