Authorities questioned the failed Times Square bomber for three to four hours before notifying him of his rights, but Liz Cheney seems to be ignoring that fact.

The daughter of the former vice president told Fox News' Chris Wallace that the Obama administration's "first instinct" was to read wannabe bomber Faisal Shahzad his Miranda rights.

"When the administration captures a terrorist and their first instinct is to inform him that he’s got the right to remain silent, that is exactly the wrong way to win this war," Cheney said Sunday.

1. I wish Cheney had the brains to remain silent n/t

[MajorChode]

3. The nut doesn't fall far from the tree

[pinboy3niner]

9. LOL

And she can't use senility as an excuse . . . :)

[MajorChode]

13. And neither is she an untreated alcoholic

I guess garden variety stupidity is her biggest problem.

[NanceGreggs]

2. And liz Cheney is qualified to speak ...

... on this issue, or any other, due to her vast experience - doing exactly what?

:shrug:

[Lasher]

4. Hauling out the exact same talking point they used with the underwear bomber.

That was soundly debunked but that didn't stop Liz from recycling the same lameass lie.

5. I didn't realize that Obama was the arresting officer!

Good job, Mr. President! You never hear this stuff on the news, do ya?

[Angry Dragon]

6. You are suppose to put them in a dark hole and forget them

[alstephenson]

7. She's b-a-a-a-c-k!!!

And just as nasty as ever. God, I hate that woman.

[Rex]

8. Wow, how unusual! A Repuker says the exact opposite of what factually happened!

Someone mark that down, they never do that! :sarcasm:

[Warren DeMontague]

10. That's ***after*** he smothers them with kisses, of course.

:eyes:

[pinboy3niner]

11. First instinct to obey the law and the Constitution?

You really got us there. Whatever were we THINKING?

[muntrv]

12. Liz, like daddy said, GO FUCK YOURSELF!

[Submariner]

14. Obama's first instinct is probably to send a Predator Drone over your house Liz

so STFU already.

[fishwax]

15. more people should instinctively respect the constitution

[zbdent]

16. I'd bet that, given a pop quiz to both "naturalized citizen" Shahzad and

anybody of Dick Cheney's family (including himself), Shahzad would probably be more informed of his rights AS A U.S. CITIZEN than his opponent in the pop quiz ...

[ThoughtCriminal]

17. Daddy Cheney's first instinct

Fly any wealthy relatives of the suspect who might be connected out of the country before the FBI can ask questions.

[gulliver]

21. Absolutely...not to mention Bush and the PDB

I wonder what Liz Cheney would say if Obama had been the one to ignore the PDB that said "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US" instead of Bush and her father.

[MadMaddie]

22. Ain't that the truth!

[Johonny]

18. Cause you don't get your rights unless Obama waves his wand and

grants them to you. It's on the missing last page of the Constitution (right next to the map to all the gold)

[malaise]

19. The truth is that Obama should have locked up

her fucking war criminal daddy.

[pinboy3niner]

20. I'll second that emotion! nt

[gratuitous]

23. Well, he did swear that oath

To preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. And unlike your daddy, he didn't cross his fingers.
