Liz Cheney Suggests Dad Dick As 2012 Presidential Candidate (VIDEO)

In the midst of a discussion of the latest conservative scandal -- an uproar over the fact that President Obama bowed to the emperor of Japan -- Liz Cheney suggested her father take over the office in a few years.

Host Chris Wallace pointed out that former Vice President Dick Cheney did not bow to the emperor when he visited Japan. (He did not elaborate on how this difference in greeting affected American policy or foreign relations.)

"You could ... look at the comparison and think, Cheney 2012," Liz Cheney said.

"Really? How far do you want to go with that?" Wallace responded excitedly. "Let Liz make news ... Cheney/Palin," Bill Kristol cut in. "Or Palin/Cheney -- don't be sexist," Wallace added.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry at this group. Bill Kristol must be trying to outdo his father with his crazy conservatism. Liz Cheney needs to disappear along with her father. They both need to shut up because he certainly did not put up when it came to the military. During Vietman Cheney had more draft deferments than he has chins and she expects anyone to respect any of his opinions!

Remember Kristol is one who originally suggested Palin be brought from Alaska. Both Kristol and Cheney are prime candidates as poster people for Planned Parenthood.....

The Tea Party crowd is screaming about Obama bringing socialism, I can't believe they would be stupid enough to want Dick Cheney, a plutocrat and oligarch, leading America. This is a man who has absolutely NO use for democracy, the Rule of Law, right to privacy, etc., etc. etc. Dastardly Dangerous Dick is the classic Fa.s.ci.st.

First order of business: repeal the 22nd Amendment (limiting presidency to 2 terms). I can see Dick Cheney using the military and intelligence gathering agencies against ALL American citizens. I can see Dick Cheney establishing a permanent presence in Iraq so he and his corporate buddies can control their oil. I can see Dick Cheney marginalizing and weakening the role of the Congress and courts while strengthening the powers of the presidency. I can see Dick Cheney giving corporations carte blanche to stick it to their employees and their customers.

I can see Dick Cheney . . . .

Dick the First, Kinggggggg of Americaaaa­aaaaaa!!!!­!

This is even funnier than when those crazy Right Wing blowhards were claiming Obama was not an American and were demanding to see his birth certificate. I have to admit I laughed out loud driving behind cars with stickers claiming "there's a village in Kenya missing an idiot." That's the intelligence level of these people who would love to a Cheney/Palin ticket and obviously the intelligence level of Dick Cheney's daughter. I bet Rush Limbaugh would love it.

Wow I can barely type without cracking up.

I agree.

Doomsday Daddy needs to run again.

I want him to leave this country on a "fact finding" mission so he can be picked up and tried and for war crimes.

[IcedTee63]

His chance to take the rest of the country Quail hunting!

The photo shows Liz cheney with a twisted face and add twisted beliefs !!

[DonJM]

Doesn't Liz Cheney realize that most Americans just want her and her father to go away and shut up!

[GreatTruthsSeeker]

Great idea! Perhaps Cheney could first test the waters of a presidential run and travel all over the world explaining once again why torture is a good thing.

Ontogeny recapitulates Phylogeny.

This area of the twilight zone at the shallow end of the gene pool has already been mapped.

Oh please make it so...........the list of Republican candidates that are non-winners is truly amazing. Cheney, Palin, Huckabee, Sanford, a true sortie of the parties of the Nutzie's.

Cheney/Palin for 2012.

Give Cheney a chance to finish what he started. (A good bit of the country is still standing.)

And should his health prevent him from doing that, who better than Palin to take down what remains?

[Kindheart]

Hold on here...I thought Halloween was over. Why is Lizzy trying to scare us?

[ifitwereme]
