Former State Dept. Official Liz Cheney

The Democratic National Committee is responding to Liz Cheney's new anti-Obama group "Keep America Safe" -- a sign that the Dems might still enjoy having the Cheneys as villains they can kick around:
"Last fall, the American people overwhelmingly rejected a radical foreign policy authored by Dick Cheney that alienated our allies, emboldened our enemies, depleted our resources, distracted our focus and made the nation less secure. The Cheneys lost that debate and their approach was deemed a failure. The Cheneys can continue to focus on securing their sullied legacy if they want to. But, the President will continue to focus on securing the country," said DNC National Press Secretary Hari Sevugan.

I have little doubt that the Cheney clan will cherish this post. For them and for me, thank you.

We all know that Liz is her father's daughter. Let's not forget that she's also her mother's daughter. Lynne Cheney's now-forgotten stint on the old Crossfire show demonstrated for all time that her wingnut cred is just as strong as her husband's. It's always been a family business (except for the lesbian--they keep her out of sight). And along with her vile opinions, Lynne also had maybe the worst, most irritating voice ever heard on national television.

I remember her all too well. She is a vile bitch and Liz is just like her. The apple did not fall far from the tree.

I also remember Lynn writing or should say rewriting history books for our young.
Wonder how much history was left out.

Is she also going to join Mary Cheney's group while running "Keeping America Safe", or has she just dissed her sister with this announcement?

This woman is a legacy. What are her credentials other than have
a job given to her by daddy and his coven of criminals.
She is clawing her way into the leadership of the empty shell formerly
known as the republican party. Since their new pet project is to find
white women and one black man to show their face of diversity, I'm sure
she'll go far.
It's not hard to look good to fellow wingers when your only position
is the opposite position of the current administration. Then you just
go on the opposition network, spew your rant, pat yourself on the back
and probably run for prez one day.
I guess it's true - evil runs in families.

"a job given to her by daddy and his coven of criminals."
Good comment! She was given a no-compete job at State, just like Halliburton.

OK -- but aside from alienated our allies, emboldening our enemies, depleting our resources, distracting our focus and making the nation less secure...
What was the question again??

I predict that "You're a Cheney" will be a popular slur in the near future.

Nice to see the DNC has started to hit back hard. Republicans are assholes and they deserve to be regarded as such.
P.S. In a whimsical science-fiction-y project I'm working on, I had to develop a sort of meter that measures units of Danger, the way a voltmeter would measure in Volts. I decided to name them Cheneys -- as in, "6 Cheneys and rising!" LOL!

That Hari Sevugan was a great hire. He always has the most biting and witty lines. I hope Obama takes him back on for his re-election campaign.

The Cheneys: evidence that human-reptile interbreeding has, in fact, taken place.

Ironic calling the group "Keep America Safe" when the worst terrorist attack in this country's history was on her daddy's and the Republicans watch. What's their sub-heading going to say "since 9/12/09"? Or actually since the anthrax attacks?

Cause Penis Cheney did such a good job of "keeping us safe" on 9/11.
Has anyone realized yet that when Penis Cheney's was at "undisclosed locations" he was either witnessing or performing torture? It seems so obvious to me.

The DNC should start a counter-group to address the Cheney noise machine.
As a title, I suggest "Keep America Sane".
You're welcome.

The Cheney Family has only one foreign policy: to use the might of the USA to back big Oil. That's the length, breadth and depth of their commitments. Anyone who thinks they should retain power is silly if they fail to grasp this.

She really makes me feel bad about, at one time, hating Maureen Regan! At least Maureen was always a lady. This snark snortin chip of a Cheney chirpin wanna-be has not earned the right to even comment on so many of the people she looks down on!

Dick Cheney masks are so popular this Halloween that this one's out of stock:

Needs more of a sneer to really resemble Mr. "Go Fuck Yourself," though.

Her father has killed more Americans than the 9/11 terrorists; her family has become obscenely wealthy - literally - from the blood of Americans and hundreds of thousands of human beings around the world. Her family lies to get what it wants, no character, no honor. Why are we still giving this whore for the military industrial complex any airtime? She is clearly working her balls off to keep her father out of jail.
Put her on the front lines for one day and watch her shit herself. It is just not fair that this cannot happen to her, her mother or her father... Those "mothers of fallen soldiers" will be waiting for her at the gate of hell.
