Introducing Sen. Lynne Cheney

[stevedeshazer]

Lynne Cheney, the wife of Vice President Cheney, is “being floated in Senate GOP leadership circles as a possible replacement for the late Sen. Craig Thomas (R-WY), who died Monday night.”

Wyoming law ensures that the Thomas’ “seat will remain in Republican control, and the balance of power in the Senate will remain unchanged.” Should Cheney be nominated, however, her record indicates that Wyoming’s Senate representation would shift to the far-right of the political spectrum:

1. Senator, go F*** Yourself

in the words of your husband!

[Kagemusha]

3. Yes, words going down in legal history for lowering standards of civility!

And immortalized for all time.

[Hieronymus]

2. I don't think the Democratic governor would appoint that vile woman.

[ISUGRADIA]

5. The other 2 choices would have to be worse than her

and that is hard

[OzarkDem]

10. Is the Dem governor obligated

to appoint a GOP replacement? IOW, what would a GOP governor do if it were a Dem seat?

[Gabi Hayes]

12. I read elsewhere on DU that the state GOP will give the democratic governor a list

of three names from which to choose

in Wyoming, by law, the senator replaced must remain in the party of whomever has left office

[stevedeshazer]

16. Under Wyoming law, yes

Each state has its own laws regarding this matter.

[Jack from Charlotte]

17. What if the Gov just delays and doesn't appoint anyone.....

Does the law manadate a timetable? Say the Gov just mulls his decision over for 3 or 4 years?

[stevedeshazer]

15. Correct. The governor has to pick from three Repubs

Under Wyoming law, Thomas's replacement will be appointed by Wyoming Governor David Freudenthal, a Democrat, who will select from a list of three people recommended by the Wyoming Republican Party, according to the state Elections Director Peggy Nighswonger.

decision making process.

[polichick]

6. omg!

This woman is as scary as Mary Matalin!

[napi21]

11. Oh no! Mary is a pussy cat compared to Lynn!

Lynn is very much the same as her husband, and both appear to be pure evil!

Mary is all blabber, and the Ragin Cajun is much the same, but they don't have the evil genes that the Cheney's do..I doubt many other people do either!

[polichick]

14. I remember her from some political show...

She was one of the talking heads on the right ~ can't recall which show, but I agree that she seemed pure evil!

(Just remembered ~ it was Crossfire.)

7. what link? eom

[stevedeshazer]

13. Whoops

OP edited to include link.

Sorry 'bout that. :)

[partylessinOhio]

8. There are so many Cheneys on the public payroll now that this is

anathema!

[smtpgirl]

21. I have learned something today, I now know

the meaning of anathema, you are so right partyless, she is the damned!!

[smtpgirl]

9. Jeez, next Mary will be Governor of VA

Lynne, can't stand that woman, she has born on my birthday.

Why can't the Cheney's (All of THEM) be "floated" to Dubai on a life raft with a hole in it.

[tanyev]

18. She's a floater, alright.

[smtpgirl]

20. Agree tanyev, a floatin' TURD

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. The Democratic Governor would NEVER pick her. He has to choose from 3 people the repukes send up.

I doubt that hag would be his first pick.
