"Other than being Dick Cheney's daughter, why exactly is Liz Cheney even on the news?"

Because she was the Assistant Secretary of State! A job which she obviously earned on merit...oh wait. Well...because she supervised people while she had that job! True she only had one employee, but she was Shaha Riza, a bigshot in the World Bank until Paul Wolfowitz...oh, wait.

Okay, forget I said anything. She's on TV because she's Dick Cheney's daughter. End of story.

I wish Liz Cheney would just DITHER away.

Barak Obama's Health Care Legislation.... Can it help America's denizens? US views matter! Go to my utube profile page and read how.

who the fuck is Liz Cheney

[MichaelFalcone]

Liz Cheney was absolutely wrong when she said that Bush went to Dover, but did it without the press. Bush NEVER went to Dover. Nor did Mr. Cheney. The more Liz Cheney speaks, the more she demonstrates how much she does not know, what she does not know.

[MooseOfReason]

Wow. Doesn't even call her a "blogger". "Senior Reporter Christina Bellantoni".

And now people from TPM and other blogs will be joining the White House press pool.

According to Rahm Emanuel, though, TPM isn't a news organization because it has a perspective.

Hmm.

The extreme liberal hack nature of the MSNBC reporter aside, this is a pretty minor thing for Republicans to bring up.

[RuflessRecords]

Total Liberal Reporter Logic Failure/ Extreme Bias at 1:05 - 1: 37. Because Liz Cheney thinks the President should not bring along the White House press corp for his viewing of the caskets, she brings up the fact that her father never served in Nam? What does that have to do with whether or not the Pres should bring along all those reporters, except to show what a hack liberal the reporter is. Oh you think he should have viewed them privately, oh well your dad got deferments in Nam so...

God, cable "news" people suck. I wonder if when their bosses give them these ridiculous questions to ask or points to make, the pundit is like "Really?? I have to go on tv and spout this stuff?" Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN are roughly 90% crap. And for the 10% that is not crap, I could get the same information at just about any other news outlet on the web.

Leave Dick alone!! His deferments were for a good reason, he had a serious case of crotch rot, then on the advice of his lawyers he knocked up his wife to avoid going to war. So what if he likes to send others to war, he is the epitome of a republican. Leave the the head of Dick's family alone!

The Cheney's are good at criticizing the current president, too bad they we so open mouth towards the last president...lowest public poll ever.

[billgarnett]

I just dont see how rather petty criticisms, whether by Republicans or Democrats, reflect well on the critic or move our national conversation forward. I imagine that there is nothing Obama could do that would not be twisted by Liz Cheney so as to advance her agenda. I would respect her if she would have the best interests of America in mind rather than just being an attack dog from her party.
