Lizard Cheney - what a harridan!

[abbeyco]

There is no earthly reason that she should be on the roundtable on ABC - all she's doing is trying to cover her dad's ass....an ass that's not worth covering!

It was good for old Sam to challenge her - it should have gone farther as he brought up the rape charge and Liz lost her mind.

[kentuck]

1. Her Dad was just on FOX..

covering his own ass. I guess this is "cover Dick Cheney's ass" week on the TV talk shows?

[abbeyco]

8. Dick & the Dick-ette

I don't know that I'll be able to stomach snarling Dick on Fox today - I can't stand Chris Wallace and I sure as hell hate Cheney.

Maybe I'll clean the bathroom instead.

[Voice for Peace]

17. haha I'll clean out the kitty litter. Much less vile matter there. nt

[kentuck]

2. delete

duplicated by the hang up on browser....?

[Patsy Stone]

3. Why the hell is she on my TV?

:mad:

[LuvNewcastle]

4. It's fucking scary how much she looks like

her old man. Defending torture is the Cheney family business.

[lunatica]

7. Actually the Cheney family business is Cheney and all that pertains to Cheney

If you look closely you'll see that everyone in the Cheney household really only has one career. It's the Dick himself.

[LuvNewcastle]

10. Makes sense.

He's made them millions, maybe even billions, through war profiteering over the years. I guess they don't have enough yet.

[madokie]

12. The cheney family are hoping there is any of that money left after the dust settles

my hope is there won't be, that the people, lawyers, whom he likes to do his bidding will clean him and them out, lock stock and barrel.

5. She's quite the surrogate and dutiful daughter

I forced myself to watch this round table and am glad I did. I always change the channel when I see her on the tv. But today she's served as inspiration to fight them all the harder.

I liked how Sam Donaldson laughed in her face and Dionne refuted her desperate attempts to skew the facts.

It's doubtful that I'll ever watch her again. But I came away thinking that The Daily Show could have a field day with her antics of today.

[Canuckistanian]

6. They should have the daughter of a torture victim on that show

You know, for balance.

[Swede]

9. Quit insulting harridans!

George Stephanoupoulous had an impossible job of shutting her up.

[mwb970]

11. She is so rude.

Don't conservatives have any manners? She talked right through Stephanopolous' introduction of the next segment as Ifill gestured frantically for her to shut up. Ludicrous behavior from an awful person.

[otohara]

14. Queen of Interrupting and She Knows

how not to get distracted when others interrupt her...she repeats the first word of her thought over and over and over - as her voice gets louder until she has the floor again.

[Hansel]

16. No, they don't have any manners. They strive not to.

The Democrats should confront this fact every time they interrupt them. The Democrats willingness to let their rudeness go unchallenged has been the biggest mistake they have made over the years.

Democrats need to call Republicans out when they behave like children and be more forcefully indignant when they say outrageous things. Especially when they make cheap shot political attacks on Democrats behind their back while they smile to their faces. That will do more to right the discourse in this country than anything else.

The best thing Democrats could in the name of Senator Kennedy's passing is to carry forth the ideals that he lived by and demand that elected officials act like statesmen. I think I heard Senator Kerry already doing that this morning.

19. This is really getting annoying.

Malkin was allowed to spew without interruption on This Week a couple of weeks ago. Last week Orrin Hatch was allowed to spew without interruption on MTP and when Dr. Dean tried to correct his lies, Gregory went to another question. The week before that, Dick Armey did the same thing to Rachel but instead of letting Rachel respond, Gregory went to commercial.

These RWers talk over other people, won't shut up to allow others to speak, won't shut up when the program moderator asks them to. Since the moderators, in this case George and Gregory, won't do their jobs, the Dems. need to speak up. How about saying "You've had your time, now it's my turn." Or, "Mind your manners and let me answer you." Or even more direct, "David, can't you control your guest?" Or stomp off the set.

This shit has to stop.

[patrice]

21. Rec! Rec! Rec! Rec! Rec! Rec! Rec! Rec! Rec! Rec! Rec! Rec! RECOMMEND!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

I know DU doesn't work this way, but I guess it can in my little world.

:applause: You ARE absolutely right on. This stuff can be honestly, civilly and forthrightly addressed. :applause:

[Catshrink]

22. Wow! Thanks.

I've written MTP before but of course it does not good. What's the point?

[lib_wit_it]

30. No, conservatives don't have manners, nor any other behaviors that would

exhibit their ludicrous holier-than-thou-ness. Especially not the Cheneys.

[Cyrano]

13. WTF was she doing at a table with people who have been journalists for decades?

Everyone at that roundtable has been a journalist (TV or print) for many years.

Where does ABC, or Stephanopolis, or whoever made the decision, get off giving a seat at the table to this non-entity? What's her claim to fame? That her father is America's "Torturer-in-Chief?"

Last month, Michelle Malkin got to peddle her poison on "This Week." Now Liz Cheney was given a platform from which to spew out her propaganda, lies, and to show off her complete and utter ignorance about anything and everything.

I hate to be repetitive, but WTF.

[travelingtypist]

28. Michelle Malkin, that's the one.

I wouldn't watch that. Couldn't believe Malkin was sitting there. This is a disgusting pattern. It's hard to decide if just the GOP has a mole on the booking staff at ABC or if it's just business as usual with the corporate media.

Gawd.

[BlueMTexpat]

15. She is indeed a harridan, talking frantically over everyone else ...

true spawn of Devil Darth and his equally abhorrent wife.
She is clearly an interested party ... why is she given any credence whatsoever?
Plus she does nothing but lie.

[TuxedoKat]

18. I missed it.

"It was good for old Sam to challenge her - it should have gone farther as he brought up the rape charge and Liz lost her mind."

What was this part about? I never heard this.

[emulatorloo]

23. Yes, PLEASE!!! More details on Donaldson versus Cheney!

Can somebody summarize?

[patrice]

20. Why does Liz Cheney hate America?

Clear proof of how deeply confused people are is that they don't see how little these EconomicRoyals really care for anyone but their own. Their contempt is obvious to the point of being palpable and Liz Cheney is a perfect example of it.

[butterfly77]

24. Sam Donaldson was all over her ass..

and so were some of the others on the panel,George Will just finally shut up and put his head down because there was nothing else to he could say and Cheney was still lying and whining in the background.

[Gin]

26. she sure has her answers down pat...and never stops talking over the others.

she is being groomed as the next great rethuglican hopefull...or to continue the cheney dynasty....oh...god forbid!

[butterfly77]

29. I saw her writing..

I guess so they can pass out their talking points which,we will hear over and over for the next few months.

[last_texas_dem]

25. I agree

Who cares what Liz Cheney thinks? Doesn't she have a bit of a conflict of interest in participating in this debate?

I was initially glad to see that Stephanapoulos was actually having a panel that wasn't stacked 3 to 1 in favor of the cons... but w/ Liz Cheney talking over every one it was hard to tell a difference...

[Mr. Sparkle]

27. I wondered why the Cheney's were out this week as we haven't seen them in awhile.

Oh yeah , the torture probe. Dick must feel like that the net is closing in on him. :evilgrin:

[Captain Hilts]

31. So, what's a male harridan? nt
