Daddy’s Little Deferment, Liz Cheney (the product of Dick Cheney suppressing his gag reflex and invading the marshy swamps of Lynne Cheney rather than fighting Communism in the marshy swamps of Viet Nam) was on one of those shows this morning that not many people watch BUT ARE VERY IMPORTANT NONETHELESS THANKYEWVERYMUCH! to do her best Otter impression, and not the cute Otter impression where she floats on her back and eats a clam (No Mary Cheney jokes, please):
Liz Cheney, the daughter of the former vice president and one of the most tenacious defenders of the Bush administration’s use of torture, accused the president on Sunday of slandering the CIA during his Nobel address. Her basis: that Obama criticized American actions at GITMO.
“But we still had in this speech, you know, it is almost like it has become reflexive, this notion that America abandoned its ideals after 9/11. And I think that as we see this president repeatedly go on foreign soil, and accuse America of having tortured people, talk about Guantanamo Bay as an abandonment of our ideals, you know, that part of the speech to me really is nothing short of shameful. And it is not just an attack on political opponents. It really is casting dispersions and, I would say, slandering the men and women in the CIA who carried out key programs to keep us safe and the people frankly right now at Guantanamo Bay who are guarding some of the worst terrorists. So I think that part of the speech represents something I hope the president will stop soon.”
Yeah. I’ve seen that movie too.

Are you sure this was quoted correctly? Because if this is what she actually said, then she’s stupid as well as repugnant, abhorrent, and a total waste of space.
She’s at least that bad, AG. None of them are nearly as bright as they are wicked and venal. Like most aristocrats, in that respect. Cue the guillotines.
but aside from that she’s a real peach (albeit a rotten peach, laying on the ground, riddled with worms and probably not a little dog shit) and a good egg (see peaches, rotten only add that nasty sulfur smell).
Daddy’s little deferment.
Tom, you continue to amaze me.
You and Franken could tag-team Congress, actually shaming them into usefulness.
Wow, I didn’t think any optimists had survived this long.
In the future, please avoid writing things that cause me to visualize Dick Cheney fucking. Thank you.
“…talk about Guantanamo Bay as an abandonment of our ideals…” — yes, that must really hurt Liz’s wittle feelings, since, to the true spawn of a Cheney, Guantanamo Bay represents the embodiment of their ideals: violate as many aspects of the Constitution as you possibly can in one fell swoop, while feeling awfully good and smug about yourself.
Marshy swamps indeed… loved it.
Like father, like daughter. I do believe that thinking about torturing prisoners at Gitmo gets Liz all tingly down there, too.
yes, anything you cast becomes dispersed, doesn’t it?
reminds me of when Tonya Harding was on Dan Patrick’s ESPN Radio program, talking about her boxing career, and protested that she “wasn’t here to make a skeptical of myself”.
What kind of Thanksgiving dinner do you think the Cheney’s have?
Since Mary and her partner know first hand about prejudice and injustice, I find it hard to believe, that they could sit across from Liz (who most likely sits at Daddy’s feet) and not projectile vomit.
I once heard someone on teh TeeVee babble about “unintimated gall”. Sounds like Lizzie (and Bible Spice) would be familiar. Also.
I see similar levels of stupid and painfully ignorant from my overtly ‘Puggie students—so I must ask are they dumb because they’re ‘Puggies or ‘Puggies ’cause they’re dumb???
suppressing his gag reflex and invading the marshy swamps of Lynne Cheney
Lynne Cheney may be old now, but young or old, she is a far sight more attractive, physically, than the douchebag with the foot-long spiked bottom teeth she married. God knows why women pick guys like Cheney to hitch up with: either she’s as sick as he is or, like Pat Nixon, she picked the wrong shithead and stuck with him, putting on her best denial mask, because she was raised to believe that’s what women do.
If anyone had to suppress a gag reflex, I’m guessing it was Lynne. If not then, certainly now.
Sounds about right, yeah. Mind you, Lucienne Goldberg thinks he’s hot. But she probably thinks Jonah’s smart, too.
The thought of torture sends a thrill up Liz’s prehensile tail.

TBogg, do you have any idea of what the ratings are for these abominations?
Used to be — before the internets & all — that these shows were [theoretically, at least] a source of “inside information,” or at least “information” from “insiders.” Twenty years ago, I can remember living in DC and people I knew watching the shows. [Not me; I was clearly ahead of my time.]
Now days, why bother to listen to these shows, which are ALWAYS populated with 7 Republicans for every Dem, lame-brained “analysts” and too-feeble-for-words “hosts”? There are so many other sources of information and analysis; why look here?
How stupid do you have to be to think you’re getting “informed” by this crap?
I think a quick look at the Urban Dictionary might clear this matter up.
I don’t think it was Animal House she was quoting:
Are you casting aspersions on La Cheney’s command of the English language? Seriously, that jumped out at me like a sore thumb, too. I suspect it was accurately quoted, and she IS a moron.
Look, the bottom line is that Liz Cheney, her psychotic father, and all of their friends are irrelevant right now. Since Lieberman has decided to go all in on the “if the left is for it, I’ll fillibuster it”, and Ben Nelson looks at Lieberman and says “Hey, I like that approach, cause it gets me on the teevee”, the Dems have a hell of a lot of housecleaning to do before they need to worry about people who take the Cheneys seriously.
Joe Lieberman is the impacted colon of democracy right now. He needs to be surgically removed, stat.
The entire family has shown they will lie and attack shamelessly – Cheney Family Values! Torture didn’t betray Cheney ideals…
