Rachel Maddow: I Want Dick Or Liz Cheney

In an interview with USA Today's USA Weekend magazine, Rachel Maddow said she wants to interview the Cheneys but they won't come on her show.

Maddow said she would like to interview "Dick Cheney or his daughter Liz Cheney, who has done every other cable news show in the world but won't come on my show."

She said Liz Cheney "has been very friendly, but the answer's always no." Dick Cheney's office "doesn't bother responding," she said.

If she did have the former Vice President on her show, Maddow said she "would essentially treat it like a trial."

Maddow added that President Obama has not disappointed her, because she "never thought he was going to be a liberal."

Maddow has talked about wanting the Cheneys on her show before. Watch below from October:

Don't really think Maddow is interested in Dick. Olberman more than likely is though.

Proving that they Cheneys are simply gutless . . . again.

The Cheneys are obviously afraid to take their l/es and extreme ideology to the Maddow show. She would be extremely polite, she would allow them to speak without interruption,

and then she would eat them alive. What's Dick and Liz scared of?

I heard they are willing to appear with Maddow right after Obama agrees to be interviewed by Hannity.

Obama put that to rest when he took questions directly from the Party of No.

What, you're doing there bookings for them?

They will never come on the show because they need to go on shows that won't challenge their untruths.

Maybe the Cheneys have a set number of viewers that they want to be seen by before granting an interview. What is the point on going on TV if only a few thousand people are watching?

Great point !!!

Maddow's exaggerated delusion of self-importance is embarrassing.

Perhaps if NBC is willing to offer her the Meet the Press chair for one Sunday, Liz Cheney and her day might appear... Even for one Sunday... Such a ratings coup this would become...

That would be fabulous!!

I'd love to see her interview Palin and Michelle Bachman as well. Dick & W need to be tried in a court of law - so some practice from RM would be nice. ha!

[SchmataHari]

Looks like RM is "hunting" for ratings! Tricky Dickie is too scared, knowing that this time he would be the caged bird let out for gaming, or worse...he could end up like his hunting friend, having to apologize afterward. Truth is Rachel is too good for him. He needs to be "interviewed" in a court of law.

I think the Brits want to interview him......and his pal, W, too.

This is a liberal female....

Odds are she'd really like Dick....

but won't get any.

Like a rusty waterline on an old steel hull, you show the IQ of the right for all to see.

Thank you.
