I don't even want to take notice of the awful Cheneys. Dowd foresees a Sarah-Liz presidential ticket. That's like being served soup made from dead bodies.
Regarding bipartisanship with the same contempt as multilateralism and multiculturalism, the Cheneys have led the charge against Obama, painting him as a wishy-washy loser who has turned America to mush. On Fox News last Sunday, Liz Cheney — who still talks about having “liberated” Iraq — called Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize a “farce” and suggested that he “send the mother of a fallen American soldier to accept the prize on behalf of the U.S. military.”
The blonde 43-year-old lawyer, a mother of five hailed by her fans as “a red state rock star,” teamed up this week with Bill Kristol to start a new group called “Keep America Safe.” Kristol, of course, was the chief proponent of the wacky notion that Dan Quayle, and later Sarah Palin, could Keep America Safe, which somewhat undermines the urgency and gravity of the group’s moniker.
Excuse me if I stop watching three Washington wankers who seem determined to exploit some of the worst excesses in our culture.
Kathleen Parker, writing in WaPo this morning, sees the Cheney (and McCain) femmes as Republican party saviors.
The answer is . . . drum roll, please . . . women.
You know, sassy, politely "liberated" women.
Problem is, liberation isn't about dressing up in Dad's clothes and helpfully undertaking Dad's unfinished business. One of the striking things about Republican women, whether in Texas or New Jersey or Maine, is that they tend to be clones of dad but in discreet V-necks and pearls. They are remarkably alike. And Dad still pushes all the buttons.
