Oh, thank God the Cheneys admit they weren't offering real critism, they were just grifting

For a second I was worried. I thought we were all supposed to take them seriously again. The idea is as delusional as it is comical. Dick has come out of hiding to greet with a flower, or at least the manure the flower grew in, any idiot with a TV news show. Suddenly I was angry that this moron thought I was so stupid to trust him with foreign policy. Hell I didn't even trust him the first, er second, er third, er fourth time around. How many times do we give this guy a chance and he was wrong over and over again? Luckily we don't have to worry anymore. Dick and Liz aren't here to offer Obama advice or sound criticism. Nope they announced on Megyn Kelly's show that they've come to grift!

“Uh, yes. I think there’s no question,” Liz Cheney told Fox News host Megyn Kelly during a joint appearance on The Kelly File. “He’s made it clear that his desire is to weaken the nation. There’s no question that he’s a dangerous president.”
The pair also announced the formation of a new anti-Obama political group, The Alliance for a Strong America.


So I think we can all sigh a collective relief. Cheney is in it like Palin, Gingrich, Joe the Plumber, etc... to make a shitload of money off really stupid people. Some of that money might make it into badly produced commercials, but most of it will go in their pockets. We are collectively watching the grifting of the Republican Party. A party that spends more time promoting has-been grifters than their actual candidates. The closer to 2016 we get the more they'll come out of the wood work. It's a great sign because the harder they work to enrich themselves the more press and money they take away from real candidates.
