Lynn Cheney's Anger Management Problem - will the right treat her like Hillary?

[Coexist]

Great analogy from Marty Kaplan:

Move over, Naomi. Step aside, Hillary. The new queen of mean is Lynne Cheney.

Today, in a face-off with Wolf Blitzer worthy of inclusion in the Gender Stereotypes Hall of Fame, the nation's second lady used exactly the kind of rhetoric that led Republicans to cast Senator Clinton as (in Maureen Dowd's summary) "an angry woman, a she-monster melding images of Medea, the Furies, harpies, and a knife-wielding Glenn Close in 'Fatal Attraction.'"


Mrs. Veep was bitter about John King's "Broken Government" special on CNN. "A terrible distortion!" she lectured. She was petulant when Wolf cited VPOTUS's recent kind words for waterboarding. "A complete distortion!" she fumed. She was pissed when Wolf cited sapphic soft porn from her novel, Sisters. Lesbians? Rape? Brothels? "Lies, baloney" she seethed through clenched teeth. If there'd been a gun handy, Wolf might be spending the weekend picking buckshot out of his face.

I can't wait for the right to defend Lynne Cheney's appearance on CNN. Every quality that Republicans demonized in Hillary will be lionized in Lynne. Witchy? Bitchy? Don't be ridiculous -- she's displaying righteous indignation. Rage? Hysteria? Oh, no, that's standing your ground. And hey, she was set up: the booker said she'd be talking about her children's book.

1. Or like Hillary's "unhinged" husband?

2. I wonder if Wolf will show that over and over like he does when he

interviews people like Shrub? That was one to be watched again and again! But I'll bet we NEVER see a repeat!

11. I dunno about that. I'm watching it right now for the 4th time on CNN.

I think Wolfie's enjoying this.

And yes, I have no life ;)

Republican women are firm and no nonsense advocates.

Sickening.

4. I was reading a book on Dick Cheney in Barnes & Noble

last weekend. It had quite a bit on his wife, too. Seems she would like to run for office once they're out of there. Probably Senator. Hmmmmm. Wonder how that will play?

7. I remember when she insisted that her daughter Mary wasn't a lesbian.

It was in an interview on TV but I can't remember who was interviewing her.

Hell, Mary Cheney was already 'out' at that point.

Didn't stop crazy Lynne from insisting otherwise.

She is a real piece of work.

8. Okay, here's the link.

Is she gay or isn't she?

Perhaps the Cheneys should have skipped "This Week" altogether. ABC also interviewed Lynne Cheney, former chairwoman of the National Endowment for the Humanities. During the course of the discussion, Lynne Cheney denied that her younger daughter is a lesbian. "Mary has never declared such a thing," her mother said. "I would like to say that I'm appalled at the media interest in one of my daughters. I have two wonderful daughters, and I simply am not going to talk about their personal lives." Up until this spring, Mary Cheney worked as the lesbian/gay corporate relations manager for Coors Brewing Co.

9. Scratch them all and you'll find a freeper underneath

All of the Bushites are furious and outraged right now, shocked that the voters are rejecting them. They've always talked like Freepers in private, now, in desperation and anger, they're going public.

10. She was purple-faced with rage -- she completely lost it.

Clinton vs. Wallace was ten times calmer than Mrs. Snarl was vs. Wolf Ditzer.
