Yes..We all know Liz.

Your Dad saved us from terrorists by allowing 3000 innocent Americans to die on us soil by TERRORISTS.

Your Dad is a hero for one group of people – TERRORISTS.

filettorosso   May 22nd, 2009 11:47 am ET

can anyone tell me why she is relevant?

Greg Smith, Clifton Heights PA   May 22nd, 2009 11:47 am ET

The Cheney's are right, Obama is 100% wrong. Thank God we have someone like Dick Cheney to speak the truth and warn American's the disaster mistake Barrack Obama is making on securing this country.

Keep up the good work Dick Cheney!!!!!

jaso   May 22nd, 2009 11:46 am ET

Like ignorant father, like ignorant daughter. I heard her say today that "waterboarding" wasn't torture. Let's let her go through some of the "drastic techniques" to see what she thinks. What a moron!

elana   May 22nd, 2009 11:46 am ET

Another Cheney, "Looking for a Book Deal"!!!!

Arizona Jeanne   May 22nd, 2009 11:45 am ET

Methinks she protests to much!!!!! Just goes to show, lies, lies and more lies.

Greg, San Francisco, CA   May 22nd, 2009 11:44 am ET

And she's relevant to the discussion how?

Chicago   May 22nd, 2009 11:44 am ET

Anyone that opposes President Obama is wrong and non American, but when Bush was in office, it was an American right to oppose the president.

Uggghhhh. There is so much liberal hate it is making me sick.

obambi   May 22nd, 2009 11:42 am ET

@ truth hurts–I can only imagine the kind of language your Michelle would use to denigrate any republican judging from some of the speeches and hatred she spewed before Obama was elected.

Canadian Soccer Mom   May 22nd, 2009 11:42 am ET

Dick Cheney said it best when he said that terrorists would take advantage of a divided America, one that is distracted with in-fighting. He said this as he continues to divide, distract, instill fear, and call down the elected President in front of the enemy.

To: Facts Count   May 22nd, 2009 11:41 am ET

Perhaps you don't know what a fact is!!!! Typical republican conservative dummy

Texas Coach   May 22nd, 2009 11:41 am ET

Look at all the liberals scared now....look out we are standing firm on our beliefs and taking this country back starting in 2010, we have you left wing lunatics so scared it is hilarious to watch you all implode. PROTECT AMERICA AND KEEP US SAFE VOTE CONSERVATIVE IN 2010!!!

I Am The Great And Powerful Rush Of Oz   May 22nd, 2009 11:39 am ET

Your five-deferment, paranoid, torturing daddy, should got to jail for shredding our Constitution.

phoenix86   May 22nd, 2009 11:39 am ET

Dear asianfilmreviews,

Nothing exhibits the horrid qualities you posted more than your post itself. Look in the mirror if you want to see a hateful and ignorant individual.

Jane   May 22nd, 2009 11:37 am ET

I watched her interview last night – She's defending her dad is all I can say.

mypitts2   May 22nd, 2009 11:37 am ET

Cheney-Cheney 2012.

asianfilmreviews   May 22nd, 2009 11:36 am ET

Liz Cheney represents all that is wrong with humanity – bigotry, racism, hatred, virulence, xenophobia, and a willingness to villainize those who disagree with her distorted version of reality.

Liz, you are nothing but scum and pure human garbage. And if you don't believe that water boarding is torture, then volunteer to be water boarded like your friend Sean Hannity, but actually follow through. I would pay good money to see you change your mind, you bloated windbag.

Truth Hurts   May 22nd, 2009 11:35 am ET

Of course Liz is going to side with her Husband. Michelle, needs to surface and shut her up real quick!! My advice to the Cheneys, is they need to shut the hell up and follow the Bush's suit!! They have jacked up our economy with that Iraq war and high azz gas prices, that should have never happened. They need to go somewhere and hide!!

They have no shame or morals but they suppose to be the party of that!!

Bill   May 22nd, 2009 11:35 am ET

Bush-Cheyney policies were rejected by the electorate in November. They had their chance. Let's move on. Liz's arguments are false and contradictory. Obama doesn't want to prosecute Bushies but if the Repubs keep up this selfish defense, he may have no other choice and then, I doubt Cheyney will come out smelling like a rose.

Anonymous   May 22nd, 2009 11:34 am ET

Liz Cheney is a very well-spoken and knowledgable person. I am glad that she is coming forward. More intelligent people in the know must come forward. To try to not allow people to speak against our governmnet right or wrong is a certain way to lose our freedom. Andersen should listen more.

Donnygull   May 22nd, 2009 11:34 am ET

She's a she demon. Why did she have access ( as she claims) to documents pertaing to policy. Because shes Darth's daughter? I find her pompous, shrill and a liar. Simple as that. Of course Cheneys numbers have gone up as there are still plenty of GOP morons on the loose that want to destroy this country and its freedoms. Just read the comments buy the Rethug trolls that are posted here.

Reiner   May 22nd, 2009 11:33 am ET

What makes her the expert about detainees?
Isn't she just trying to protect her father?
Whenanderson asked a direct question she baabled.

Facts Count   May 22nd, 2009 11:32 am ET

Funny how no one can counter her facts....Do you use facts, or just personal attacks?? Maybe, you prefer a govt. to lead via feelings, vs facts. You're all just so smart and classy. :)

Kimberly   May 22nd, 2009 11:30 am ET

She is a joke like her father. HEY where is his lesbian daughter, doesnt she want to defend him too??? Or is this loud mouth the lesbian? Look cheney should be in gitmo along with rove and maybe bush, but it would appear at this point all the rumors were true, DICK was pulling the strings on the puppet bush, and now bush has no puppet master so hes not talking and dick wont shut up...Too bad he has NO puppet

fed up with them   May 22nd, 2009 11:30 am ET

Enought with the Cheneys. They're irrelevant. Can someone tell them that they're no longer in office !!!!!

I guess they don't have other things to do. Whatever.

LISA   May 22nd, 2009 11:30 am ET

UHHHHHHHHH, if I don't wanna hear what your Dad is talking about why do I wann hear YOU! Why don't you guys just go hunting!

Florence   May 22nd, 2009 11:29 am ET

Dick is like a criminal observing the crime scene investigation and keeping close tabs on the police, cliping newspaper articles and making a scrapbook. He's trying to stay one step ahead of the investigators. But he's only making himself more obvious. Keep talking Lizzy.

peter   May 22nd, 2009 11:29 am ET

Who cares what an ex-vp's daughter has to say? Must be a slow news day.

hmmm....   May 22nd, 2009 11:28 am ET

so Cheney went out of his way to keep everything a secret while he was in the White House but now that he's out and that he could possibly be prosecuted for war crimes he decides to start talking? Shocking... This is just another pathetic example showing how spineless the Bush Administration still remains.

California Gold   May 22nd, 2009 11:27 am ET

This isn't a matter of whoever has the most vocal support is the side that's correct. If that were the case I dare say there are millions who support Osama Bin Laden for a host of reasons and ardently defend his "enhanced" terrorism tactics as justified and successful. Still doesn't make it right or acceptable.

maf   May 22nd, 2009 11:27 am ET

Trying to be the voice of the NEW GOP. Good luck. I mean it. I'm so tired of the old voices of the Republican Party, but I am hard pressed to believe that the Party of No will rally around the offspring of a man who is so clearly despised by more than half of the American population.

VGal   May 22nd, 2009 11:27 am ET

I think I'll listen to an EXPERT like Gates over these fools.

Angela   May 22nd, 2009 11:27 am ET

one can only say WOW!!! They have been smelling the garbage for so long that they actually think it smells good . Liz it's still crap no matter how you articulate it is wrong!

Florence   May 22nd, 2009 11:27 am ET

Dick is like a criminal observing the crime scene investigation and keeping close tabs on the police, cliping newspaper articles and making a scrapbook. He's trying to stay one step ahead of the investigators. But he's only making himself more obvious.

Do repubs just send out all the pretty girls so that men fall over to listen?

zazu   May 22nd, 2009 11:24 am ET

Finally, somebody is asking Liz a question. The rest just let her rule the wave without challenging her and allowing her to silence their questions before they even begin. Way to do your job Anderson.

C Spurgeon   May 22nd, 2009 11:22 am ET

Go away Cheneys and let this country move on!

Cheryl F   May 22nd, 2009 11:21 am ET

Take it from me lizzie, your father isn't worth defending. If you keep cheapening yourself by trying to do so, you're going to end up on the wrong side of popular opinion.

Your father is a murderer. Your father violated the Constitution. Your father broke the rule of law. Any you're defending him? what a wimp he is.

capnmike   May 22nd, 2009 11:21 am ET

Cheney is a liar...always has been. You can tell that he is lying by looking at his mouth...if it moves, he's lying. Thankfully he is out of office...too bad he won't shut the hell up and stop trying to smear Obama.

DvIRGINIA   May 22nd, 2009 11:21 am ET

Liz: Escort your father on a long hunting trip. Sounds like you were in on his secretive meetings. Too bad the country wasn't aware of all of the lies at that time. BYE BYE

harry   May 22nd, 2009 11:21 am ET

Are we still Dick Cheney and his siblings ... his lies and failed policies

it doesn't matter, he is not the VEEP anymore..and Liz was never anybody anyway..

hongli   May 22nd, 2009 11:16 am ET

Anyone who supports criminal Dick Cheney should face trial for war crimes and torture in the Hague and if found guilty should be punish by the death penalty.

Garry   May 22nd, 2009 11:15 am ET

Hey Lez,
For 8 years you kept your mouth shut while your father and Bush demoralized this country..do us a favor now..please..
SHUT-UP!

Curtis from Atlanta   May 22nd, 2009 11:14 am ET

Why don't we just waterboard all of these defenders until they admit it is wrong?

Bit   May 22nd, 2009 11:14 am ET

Well, she's a Cheney...............enough said!

Kaye -Jacksonville FL   May 22nd, 2009 11:14 am ET

And just WHO really cares what Liz Cheney has to say? Why does CNN keep posting her commentary as though she somehow is a national spokesperson on national security issues? She is a big NOTHING – and her father is a fear mongering criminal.

Bill ~ Down on the Bayou   May 22nd, 2009 11:14 am ET

Thank Ypu Liz Cheney, it's nice to know that I am not the only person on the planet defending your fathers reputation.

What a contrast between your father as vice president and the trash in office now, Biden, "the president of vice"
What a joke.

Tom McCarey   May 22nd, 2009 11:13 am ET

The next relevant comment Liz Cheney makes will be her first.

Eileen   May 22nd, 2009 11:12 am ET

I didn't think it was possible, but shes just as vile and un-likeable as her father. Her opinions really are moot outside the cheney echo chamber.

Ross, NY   May 22nd, 2009 11:12 am ET

Why does the news media see fit to promote the misguided daughter of a former misguided Vice President? What does she know? Next you'll be quoting drunks on the street.

gary davis Harbor Oregon   May 22nd, 2009 11:12 am ET

any thing liz cheney says can not be and shouldn't be used in any public speaking its her father . if he can't speak for him self then both of them can go away neither of them are in public office that would concern any government business issues.
(dicky all mighty) needs to go away.
you don't see any of George Bush's kids crying wolf .

a southern progressive   May 22nd, 2009 11:10 am ET

is Liz the lesbian who is called a liar by her own party when she says she is born this way and the right says she chose to be a lesbian? i forget which daughter dick cheney is denying equality to......

The scientific community has long debated whether stupidity is hereditary. Here is proof positive that it is.

Irene Adler   May 22nd, 2009 11:09 am ET

Why is anything Liz Cheney says relevant? She and her father should just go away. In case they have forgotten, Mr. Cheney is no longer the "President". He did enough damage in the last eight years to last a lifetime. And on a completely different tack, does anyone else think he looks like Penguin from Batman?

carlo   May 22nd, 2009 11:07 am ET

Liz Cheney not only looks like a wrinkled Tonya Harding, she obviously inherited her father's ability to pontificate and project.

Mark Nigeria   May 22nd, 2009 11:05 am ET

Given that the data on wterboarding and other torture measures is still classified, how does Liz Cheney know about all this? Could this be another breach of the official secrets act?

donttreadonme   May 22nd, 2009 11:05 am ET

I don’t think that these tactics should be used on everyone, but should be reserved for specific urgent threats and when loss of life can be avoided by quickly gathering information. Bush acted prudently and correctly in this case.

VEGAGE   May 22nd, 2009 11:04 am ET

She is just part of the liar clan. Does not deverve to be listen.

JML   May 22nd, 2009 11:03 am ET

Right, why? Liz your daddie is WRONG as 3-left feet. Why is it that republican's are constantly on the wrong side of law

Dexter Skagway   May 22nd, 2009 11:00 am ET

"To defend her father." That's it in a nutshell. The whole Cheney thing is a defense against the legal consequences of having ordered war crimes. That's why the once-secretive Cheney now is shouting loud.

aj   May 22nd, 2009 11:00 am ET

watched the interview and saw no logic...just diversions...the whole family is just trying to re-write history and save thier reputation

Ms. White   May 22nd, 2009 10:58 am ET

I guess she was at the debriefing

jeeze   May 22nd, 2009 10:55 am ET

You're gay, Liz. Your daddy doen't love you.

redleg   May 22nd, 2009 10:55 am ET

This is someone whose own father considers her so morally unfit to defend the US (like himself) that he would rather a convicted felon do it (remember the moral waivers?).

phoenix86   May 22nd, 2009 10:55 am ET

Anyone who listened (not just watched) the speeches yesterday can clearly see that Cheney is much more knowledgeable about how to deal with terrorism than is Obama. Cheney is concerned about the safety of US citizens. Obama is concerned about the legal rights of the terrorists.

The contrast could not have been starker.

LacrosseMom   May 22nd, 2009 10:53 am ET

Seriously who cares what this vile woman has to say?

GOP= hate, lies, fear and division.

Tracy---Indianapolis, IN   May 22nd, 2009 10:52 am ET

She wouldn't have to defend her father if he would sit his tired A$$ down somewhere.

Jennifer   May 22nd, 2009 10:52 am ET

I am so sick of seeing her on this press tour bashing the President of the United States. What gives her the authority on national security? She's no expert, and she doesn't have privy to any intelligence briefings, so she should just shut her trap and go away!!

David   May 22nd, 2009 10:49 am ET

And why do we care what she thinks? She is even MORE irrevelant that her paraniod dad.

JonDie   May 22nd, 2009 10:48 am ET

Cheney and the other Stalinists who run the GOP have no other program...except to create United Soviet of America where the rule of law is unknown and torture in concentration camps is the norm.

Ken from missouri   May 22nd, 2009 10:48 am ET

Does this woman think she has any creditabilty she is a joke I hope
that her dad will charged with the crimes that he commited .

Charm   May 22nd, 2009 10:46 am ET

I find it funny that the Cheney's keep insisting that the "enhanced interrogation" tactics didn't cross the legal line into torture due to review with lawyers to prevent crossing that line. I'm sure that if you locked anyone of these torture defenders in a cell and used the same "enhanced interrogation" program on them, they would be screaming torture and lawsuit in a heart beat. Liz really needs to shave her blond hair and don the darth helmet like her father has.

David   May 22nd, 2009 10:45 am ET

The only reason she is taking a more 'visible role' defending her father is because the media keeps sticking her on TV when nothing she has to say makes any difference whatsoever. Why don't they interview the family dog next?

Jack Fl   May 22nd, 2009 10:45 am ET

OMG, a wanna be defending a has been.

Mike   May 22nd, 2009 10:44 am ET

I hope she keeps telling it like it is, I am glad to VP Cheney's poll numbers are climbing and obamas dropping as America begins to hear the true story and not filtered through abc,nbc and msnbc.

Eric   May 22nd, 2009 10:44 am ET

What is the sudden infatuation with the Cheney's? CNN is unwatchable so I've simply tuned out, anyone can tune into FOX News and get their fill of 24/7 fear mongering.

wisconsin mom   May 22nd, 2009 10:42 am ET

Liz, no one cares what you have to say! Your father thinks that he is Jack Bauer and I'm so happy that he is finally gone! He's crazy!

Grog in Ohio   May 22nd, 2009 10:41 am ET

Ah... the Cheney Family Torture Tour continues. Republican "family values" on exhibit.

M. Jordan   May 22nd, 2009 10:40 am ET

Yeah, defending him because he belongs in a prison himself. The only honorable person in the Bush cabinet was Powell and he had the good sense and integrity to leave.

Danny, Columbus-OH   May 22nd, 2009 10:40 am ET

Are we going to wake up ad day without hearing a Cheney?

Paul   May 22nd, 2009 10:40 am ET

I can't wait to hear Liz Cheney defend her father ... in a court of law.

katiec   May 22nd, 2009 10:39 am ET

We care as much about what Liz Cheney has to say as we do her father, and that is nothing.
CNN, you continue to support, headline Cheney, pushing him down
the throats of Americans who have NO respect, give no credit o
anything he has to say. He is a dishonorable, unethical man, guilty of many misdeeds against us and our country.
Please stop it.

bob   May 22nd, 2009 10:39 am ET

like father like daughter..what the hell does she know about water boarding for God's sake...please just go hunting with your dad and leave us alone to go on with a better life than that which your dads' administration left us

frank , pennsylvania   May 22nd, 2009 10:39 am ET

cheney is more interested in defending his legacy than the security of this great country! His is doing a great harm to the image and security of this nation! He should be prosecuted!

Cathy   May 22nd, 2009 10:38 am ET

Why won't the Cheney's just GO AWAY!?!?

K V Thrivikraman   May 22nd, 2009 10:36 am ET

May 22, 2009

Former VP Dick Cheney has asserted that water boarding, a torture technique, was carried out under Bush administration. Now it looks like, either Bush did not know about this or he was misinformed when he said 'We Don't Torture'.

She is another example of how things go in the Republican world, where nepotism and the buddy system corrupted our government. Well, she has the right to rave on if she wants and we have the right to laugh at her silly little efforts to cover her fathers behind.

Pragmatic   May 22nd, 2009 10:35 am ET

Interesting that the word "defend" defines all Cheney, Ms. Cheney and Matlin do ... no solutions – no ideas ... just stonewall and repeat their old tired song and dance ... sometimes a good defense is a vigorous offense but when you are only attempting to defend the indefensible – its only pathetic.

Jaimon   May 22nd, 2009 10:31 am ET

If Waterboading was legal, Not torchure, and effective in yielding accurate information, then why wasn't every detainee waterboarded?

Why was it only reserved for 3 prisoners?

Why wasn't it widely deployed to other prisons in Iraq and Afganistan?

If Cheney truely believed what that it is legal, then why do no it?

Ipso Facto   May 22nd, 2009 10:29 am ET

So, here's where I wait to see if all those party line patriot haters who piled on Meghan McCain as a know-nothing daughter of a political figure also pile on this nutjob as a know-nothing daughter of a political figure.

I suspect not, since she is not challenging their narrow closed- mindedness, but let's wait and see.

hypocrites_are_everywhere   May 22nd, 2009 10:24 am ET

Liz,

You & Dick are full of it! You sound like the OJ Simpson family trying to defend his innocence!

Someone is hiding something and we want to find out! You & Dick need a little bit of enhanced interrogation so that you could tell some truth! This will certainly save many lives (not your/Dick's derriere)! :)

Byron   May 22nd, 2009 10:24 am ET

can't we send the Cheney family to Dubai or something over in the middle east since they love it so much? Make Cheney ambassador to Iraq please. The daughter can be the first gay iraqui.

Edward Veidt   May 22nd, 2009 10:24 am ET

Liz Cheney should note her father's incredibly low approval ratings. She should take note that no one much actually likes him or cares about anything he has to say.

Liz is no Meghan McCain.

No doubt that this chick is her father's daughter. She's as negative and as hateful as Dick is.

JWB94596   May 22nd, 2009 10:16 am ET

So what is it? I thought Liz Cheney was not part of the last administration and that's why her father was so upset when Kerry brought her sexual orientation up in the 04 debate. I guess some people think they can have it both ways.

Good the more Cheney the more the GOP will suffer. He is not with the mainstream and they may never win another election.

Former Republican Supporting Obama, Columbia, TN   May 22nd, 2009 10:15 am ET

Liz Cheney is just as arrogant, blind, and treacherous as her father. They are both, in my opinion, enemies of this state and do not deserve any media attention. They espouse lies and I have not seen a single journalist question them seriously yet.

Sniffit   May 22nd, 2009 10:14 am ET

Liz Cheney represent her father and the old guard of the GOP> She dosent represent the GOP I belong to and dosent speak for our followers. Liz Cheney, her father and rush make me sick. The GOP will not win elections until these folks go away. Sad but true.

Tim   May 22nd, 2009 10:11 am ET

Any Republican who supports Waterboarding or other forms of torture should lead by example. They should be water boarded on TV and then tell us if they felt tortured.
Liz Cheney is just another dopey blonde bimbo trying to get TV exposure.
Hey Hannity, when are you going to get water boarded for the troops as you promised?

Jim   May 22nd, 2009 10:10 am ET

There are still a lot of questions left over from the Bush years. Where is the investigation of the the nepotism that got Ms. Cheney her well- paid job at State? Where is the investigation of why Dick Cheney was allowed to retain stock in a company that would profit from his push for war in Iraq? The Cheney family appears to carry the stench of some of the most corrupt behavior observed in Washington since Teapot Dome.

Rumsfeld   May 22nd, 2009 10:09 am ET

Consider the source here. Why are the Cheney's clinging to public life??

Seattle Sue   May 22nd, 2009 10:09 am ET

Liz Cheney is trying to prevent her father from going to prison. I believe if there are documents to show that torture really prevented hundreds of thousands of American lives from being destroyed, the Bush/Cheney would have released the documents before they left office. That would have been a real feather in their cap. Of course after eight years of constantly being lied to by Bush/Cheney and Republicans, I just can't bring myself to believe anything they have to say.

Jeff in Virginia   May 22nd, 2009 10:09 am ET

We ran these people out of town because they were one of the worst administrations in American history.

Why are you still giving them a platform to spew their non-sense?

Jake   May 22nd, 2009 10:09 am ET

Liz Cheney should focus on issues like why her sister Mary Cheney doesn't have the same rights as she.

Their father was the most powerful man in the world for eight years! Was he too busy bombing the rest of the world?

The GOP has finally....   May 22nd, 2009 10:09 am ET

found a leader–Liz Cheney--check her out--she's the real deal–sharp as a knife-–and hot as well.

Greg in AR   May 22nd, 2009 10:06 am ET

She can save her comments for the witness stand during her fathers trial.

alperry   May 22nd, 2009 10:05 am ET

Why are we being subjected to Liz Cheney??? What expertise does she have? Lord knows one Cheney blowing hot air is more than enough.

Bryce   May 22nd, 2009 10:05 am ET

Ok, now that you've posted the correct video, what is she running for? Who cares about Liz Cheney?

Tom   May 22nd, 2009 10:05 am ET

Too bad, I can't imagine I would ever go out in public if my dad was DC.

John S   May 22nd, 2009 10:04 am ET

Liz Cheney, keep it up. Keep up this idiocy long enough and when the investigation begins against your father, maybe then you will shut your trap. All this posturing will eventually come back to bite you in the butt. Your faher is a criminal and so is most of the Bush adminstration with him. All of them belong in jail.

Bryce   May 22nd, 2009 10:04 am ET

Pretty sure that's not Liz Cheney.

KizzyMae   May 22nd, 2009 10:02 am ET

If anyone is making us less safe, it is these Cheney's. It is as if they are tempting the bad guys to come after us.

Peter   May 22nd, 2009 10:02 am ET

If Cheney was my dad I could throw myself to on coming bullet train!!!

Joe Smoe   May 22nd, 2009 10:02 am ET

Poor ,poor cheneys, will they ever go away, when he had his chance to govern he stayed hid sooooooooo afraid to come out into the world now all we see is his smirky face and now his daughters

Nathan,   May 22nd, 2009 10:01 am ET

The Cheneys are pathetic. They know Dick's record is indefensible and they're going to make sure that they turn a few people into believeing their lies. They know that if you say the same thing enough ther are enough gullible people out there wo will begin to believe it. They're masters at that. Thats how the war got started. Just keep saying it and somebody will buy it.

Claudia in Houson   May 22nd, 2009 10:01 am ET

Liz Cheney needs to ask her father is it okay to torture gays and lesbians, it happens a lot.

John, Brooklyn, New York   May 22nd, 2009 10:00 am ET

Sadly, Liz Cheney has decided to use the same campaign of half-truths, obfuscation, and cherry picking of facts that was used by her father in an effort to revive his ruined reputation. I'm hoping that the American public has learned their lesson not to trust what a Cheney has to say.

walleye   May 22nd, 2009 9:59 am ET

Liz and Dick should just SHUT UP.

Patsy Madison, TN   May 22nd, 2009 9:58 am ET

Who cares what any of the Cheneys say? Your terrifying 15 minustes are up.

Killbucket   May 22nd, 2009 9:58 am ET

Nepotism. She has zero credibility. Slightly less than HER FATHER.

Rachel   May 22nd, 2009 9:58 am ET

How many times must we go over this? Liz Cheney is not a policy maker of any sort, nor is she really an expert on any matters of foreign policy. She just enjoys the sound of her own voice. And the media keeps publishing what she's saying like it matters. It doesn't. And she certainly doesn't deserve the attention. Let's please focus on the foreign policy debate going on between the current set of policy makers we have in this country and not focus on angry daughters of former (yes, former, Liz, daddy's not VP anymore) officials who have no standing anymore.

Accountability   May 22nd, 2009 9:57 am ET

Why should anyone care what Liz Cheney says?

Dino   May 22nd, 2009 9:56 am ET

Hey, Dizzy, Lizzy? You are riight wing sucm. I hope your old man has a massive heart attack today. I'd love to waterboard the both of you. Ha!

Mark   May 22nd, 2009 9:55 am ET

The Cheney's are smart, well-spoken, and selfless people. God bless them all.

frank   May 22nd, 2009 9:53 am ET

Chenney is a miserable power hungry old man that needs to shut up and go away.He is devicive and full of hate.Maybe some of those billionares that met in Ny a few days ago could consider him and the rest of his loudmouth family and find him an island to live on.So he can stop spreding his agenda of fear and hate.I wonder if he substitutes for Rush Limbaugh on his days off.

Wendy   May 22nd, 2009 9:53 am ET

The whole family is "coming out"! Daddy is going to be prosecuted!

kd   May 22nd, 2009 9:52 am ET

Why does this person make the news?

Can we hear from Obama's third cousin now?

barking republican ankle biters   May 22nd, 2009 9:50 am ET

The female version of her loving father.I would love to see the DNA profile for this worthless family.Chickenhawk,draft dodging, daddy and his testosterone spiked daughter.

dominican mama 4 Obama   May 22nd, 2009 9:48 am ET

Shut the hell up, and mind your own business: like getting the passports ready with the phony ID's so that your daddy can flee the country when Spain comes to get his satanic a$$, and hauls him off to THEIR version of Gitmo on the Mediterranean. Bon Voyage dickie, and try to relax your throat, when the time comes, it makes the "interrogation" less painful.

librarian   May 22nd, 2009 9:48 am ET

At long last Ms. Cheney don't you have any sense of decency left ?

pat c   May 22nd, 2009 9:47 am ET

she is trying to protect the credibility of her father as the world is now realizing what an evil person he was and both she and her father need to shut up and go away.
