New Cheney Taking Stage for the G.O.P. (take your anti-nausea meds)

Liz Cheney looks nothing like her father, but it is clear who he is. She was introduced as “our favorite vice president’s daughter” at a recent gathering of conservative women here. She kept invoking him in her speech, conveying his best regards, and likes to share cute stories about Dad trying to master his new BlackBerry.

Like her father, Ms. Cheney speaks in understated, almost academic cadences, head veering down into her notes. She also shares his willingness to pummel President Obama in stark, disdainful tones, not so much criticizing as taunting him.

“Mr. President, in a ticking time-bomb scenario, with American lives at stake,” she said, “are you really unwilling to subject a terrorist to enhanced interrogation to get information that would prevent an attack?”

By speech’s end, the crowd was standing, and the former vice president’s daughter was being mobbed for photos and hounded to run for office.

Liz Cheney is “a red state rock star,” declared Rebecca Wales, one of the organizers of this event, the “Smart Girls Summit.”

1. Someone needs to mention

to Ms Cheney that 3 terror plots were just thwarted and we didn't have to torture people.

Obama seems to be keeping us safer than Cheney ever did in the first 8 months of that administration.

2. Let's torture Liz Cheney. And her kids.

And then see how she feels about torture.

3. Another RW puff piece from the Times

In the past couple of weeks, without even looking that closely, I've read a feeling-their-pain piece about the employees of Humana, and an air kiss to Tim Pawlenty at the Value Voters Summit on their site. Where do they think they get with such drivel? Certainly not more in tune with their most loyal readers.

4. ......fffffffffffFUCKING A.

“Mr. President, in a ticking time-bomb scenario, with American lives at stake,” she said, “are you really unwilling to subject a terrorist to enhanced interrogation to get information that would prevent an attack?”

EARTH TO WINGNUTS: THIS NEVER HAPPENS. THE ONLY TIME IT DOES HAPPEN IS ON "24". YOU ARE NOT JACK BAUER, OBAMA IS NOT PRESIDENT PALMER, AND THIS NEVER FUCKING HAPPENS EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE.
