Lynn and Dick must be so proud!

If this loon does end up running for congress, her competition will be very well funded.

Liar! Everyone knows that Reagan singlehandedly won the Cold War by giving really awesome speeches, kicking the crap out of Grenada and successfully deploying the Strategic Defense Iniatitive, known as “Star Wars.” No Russians or Eastern Europeans were involved

.

Excellent. I lived through the Reagan years. The way I remember it, not only did the USA have nothing to do with the changes in USSR / Eastern Europe, but those conservatives who now want to take credit for those events would not even admit they were happening at the time. In fact, George Will claimed the Berlin Wall would not come down in a column published the day it came down.

IDIOTS!

Hell, she has been coaching her old man for 20 years. There is a thesis that she wrote that a little search will bring up where she lines out the direction an imperial presidency should go and that is the blueprint that the bushcheneyrove gang followed.

Also, see her “job” at State dept and nepotism.

Might, also, read her mother’s book that is filled with stuff that would be banned from youtube, if it were released.

“She’s nuttier than her old man, this one.”

So?

That alone should have been enough to take Will off the public stage. Well. in a logical, just, meritocratic world…

This ignorant woman-child probably thinks the US won WWII single-handedly, too, with no help from the Soviets.

“her mother’s book that is filled with stuff that would be banned from y
youtube, if it were released.”

Which book? Her children’s history book, or one of the adult books?

Man, doesn’t she remind you of Mrs. Iselin (Angela Lansbury) from the Manchurian Candidate (1962)? What the hell gives her access to all this media coverage? What makes Liz Cheney so damn special?

That is rich!

She’s the devil’s spawn.

one word: “Cheney”

She should be in prison.

As long as people watch the square hole with the lights in the dying room, stupid is going to be the word best able to describe the end result.

“disarmed morally”

Profound.

Not.

Jeez.

We can also be disarmed morally by a president who spreads false narratives.

Man ,she sounds like she’s talking about her dad and bush for the last eight years. She’s one observant woman.

Good LAWD, you put the lesbian daughter in the picture too? One can be married and one cannot. That’s morally disarming.

Mini Me Liz has always struck me as kind of dumb. Darth Cheney is an evil mofo, but he’s not dumb. Wish he were.

Now this is the best solution for the whole Cheney family! They should also forfeit every cent they have for the war crimes/war profiteering they have committed. Hope they all rot in hell… that is if there is one….

Will she be provided a cell near her father?

I hope not… they should get the same treatment that the inmates at Gitmo get… just no torture… but the hoods are OK 24/7!!

She had a job in the State Dept. Nepotism?

She would prefer one WITH her father so the incest can continue.

Speaking of the most wonderful Cheney family… just in from credo:

This may be our best chance for a Cheney accountability moment.
Start torture investigation with Cheney

Tell Attorney General Holder to investigate torture starting at the top.

Newsweek reported Saturday that Attorney General Eric Holder is considering appointing a prosecutor to investigate whether the Bush administration illegally tortured terrorism suspects.
A decision is expected in the next few weeks.
Tell Holder to investigate torture, and to start with former Vice President Dick Cheney and his legal adviser David Addington.
Sources suggest that a Department of Justice investigation of torture — if ordered by Holder — is likely to focus solely on those who went beyond the legal boundaries set by the administration officials who provided a legal framework for torture — but not the architects of the torture program themselves.
The Department of Justice and Attorney General Holder must give a prosecutor the ability to hold the torture architects responsible. Narrowly confining a torture probe to low level foot soldiers would fall short of the accountability moment required to protect our constitution from further abuse.
Click here to tell Attorney General Holder to assign a prosecutor to investigate torture, and focus the probe not on low level interrogators who crossed the line but start at the top with torture architects Cheney and Addington.
Thank you for working to build a better world.

Mr Man Yes. Are there any regiments which are more effeminate than others?

RSM Well, no sir. I mean, apart from the Marines, they’re all dead butch.

Mr Man You see, what I really wanted was a regiment where I could be really quiet and have more time to myself to work with fabrics, and creating new concepts in interior design.

RSM Working with fabrics and experimenting with interior design!

Mr Man Yes.

RSM Oh well you want the Durham Light Infantry then, sir.

Mr Man Oh.

RSM Oh yes. That’s the only regiment that’s really doing something new with interior design, with colour, texture, line and that.

Mr Man I see.

RSM Oh yes, I mean their use of colour with fabrics is fantastic. I saw their pattern book the other day – beautiful, beautiful. Savage tans, great slabs of black set against aggressive orange. It really makes you want to shout out, this is good! This is real!

Mr Man Really?

RSM Oh yes. I mean the Inniskillin Fusiliers and the Anglian Regiment are all right if you’re interested in the art nouveau William Morris revival bit, but if you really want a regiment of the line that is really saying something about interior decor, then you’ve got to go for the Durham Light Infantry.

Mr Man Oh, I’ve had enough of this. I’m handing in my notice.

Q: What do Reagan, the Pope and OBL have in common?
A: They all take single-handed credit for the downfall of communism.

Just in case anyone wants to argue about how important the Eastern European peace movements were, I would refer them to this piece from the US Navy, which essentially agrees with Obama:

Another, even more important strand of grassroots activity was centered in Eastern Europe. The Soviet bloc ultimately dissolved because people in Eastern Europe stopped acquiescing in being ruled by Communist regimes. The efforts of groups like Solidarity in Poland and Charter 77 in Czechoslovakia paved the way for the revolutions of 1989 that swept away the existing Communist rulers across Eastern Europe. The most decisive events in ending the Cold War, including the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, took place on the ground in Eastern Europe.

It was Gorbachev who decided the transition would be peaceful.

More from the Navy report I linked to:

In 1989, Gorbachev made it clear that the Soviet Union would not use its military to assist the Communist governments in these countries in suppressing the opposition movements. This decision had nothing to do, at least directly, with U.S. strength… In fact, many of the ideas and proposals embraced by Gorbachev had their origins in liberal-leaning Western NGOs and research institutes and were transmitted to the Soviet leader through transnational channels rather than through government-to-government communication…

Good day to liberals. We helped win the Cold War.

Yep. Absolutely no doubt.

Thanks for illustrating my point with more of an authority than me.

No, it’s because she’s clearly a genius.

(waits a beat)

OF COURSE it’s nepotism!

Why are we not live blogging? Apparently Franken just made his statement!

eCAHN, you’re a dear and very welcome, but I think any intellectually honest appraisal of the end of the Cold War cannot underestimate the importance of Gorbachev-I was mildly shocked to see that in a Navy report, which implies that at least the Navy is more interested in the truth than the Kool-Aid.

Christy has been doing the live-blogging although the hearings just ended.

Off on the business of the Queen. See all later-Guten Tag, Blue Texan!

Sorry. It’s at Christie’s place.

The conservative folk myth that evil power mongers never give up their power without being destroyed militarily crumbled to the ground when Russia and most of the Eastern bloc just let go of their power without a war.

Palin/Cheney 2012!… if you want to see America sponged off of the walls of history.

Lizzy was always brighter and steelier than her old man. She gets it from her mom.

ditto!

Shoot, I thought it had something to do with wearing funny hats.

republicans are freckin loons. They need to be under professional psychiatric care.

Caught just a brief part of her commentary about daddy’s secret program. Is she claiming explicit knowledge of the content of the program or just doing her typical defense of Dick?
