Washington Post readers respond to Liz Cheney
:)

Show us how to do it, Liz! Sign up and ship out!

By mlhickman | Jan 23, 2007 12:26:55 AM


The writer is former principal deputy assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs because of the nepotism of her father. Hmmm... why didnt she enlist? Oh, thats right - other priorities, just like dad.

By diane | Jan 23, 2007 12:28:18 AM |

May the ghosts of our war dead forever haunt your beautiful mind, Ms. Cheney, together with the shrieks of all the Iraqi children slaughtered in this stupid, wasteful war of choice. Culture of life my sweet ass.

By marnoldtk | Jan 23, 2007 12:29:17 AM

I would repeat what your father told Leahy on the Senate floor, but Im too nice a person. But that sums up what I think about this article. Your father is a draft-dodging coward. He says we dont have the stomach for war. Where was his stomach during the VietNam war? Lets see, how many draft deferments did he get? Its so easy to send soldiers to die, when you have no idea what its like. His bravado and warmongering has severely cripped this nation and made it less secure. Next time, he should not invade a country until he has a plan to secure it. All he had was oil on his mind. I could go on and on, but why? He hasnt learned a thing. How does it feel to have a father that is probably one of the most hated men in the country? Shame on you, shame on him...

By harothberg | Jan 23, 2007 12:31:10 AM |

Hey, Liz. Your father has been wrong every step of the way in Iraq. And here you are, shoveling the same BS. Why should we care what the daughter of a moron thinks?

By sports | Jan 23, 2007 12:32:49 AM

Earth to Ms. Cheney. Liz, its so over in Iraq and the reason why is that your hero, the Chickenhawk-in-Chief in the White House, and his oh so savvy advisors lost it within the first months of taking Baghdad. This is one war the Dems did not screw up. The Bubble Boy did it on his own and his latest plan to win the war is so self-evidently doomed to fail that even an armchair general like yourself knows it. Nice try, Liz, nice try. Maybe another column or two like this one and some fatcat Republican businessman will get you a mercy job on K Street. Or, as suggested by mlhickman, you could volunteer. Fat chance of that, though, Liz, isnt there? Hello, Liz, are you there? Oh, Liz. Hello?

See Ms. Cheney, most of your countrymen and women get it: Your family and the Bush family are a collective pox on this country. Do us a favor and fuck off!

I guess there's not much reason to think she'll ever see them . . . but I still hope so.

Her shit don't fly, and her daddy's about to get his comeuppance.

"Culture of life my ass" pretty much sums it up.

19. My favorite so far: "To quote your father, Go ^*k yourself."
Oh you godawful horrible human being. Hasnt your family done enough damage to this country, to the Constitution and the world? Please, in the name of God, take whatever share of your fathers Halliburton money is in your name and go away, live in the silence and shame you and anyone who bears your name deserves.

Submit your piece from Tikrit Liz? So Failure in Chief and his lying ilk like Cheneys threatens anticipatory repercussions of the eventual reality of his mistake. I could do a dissertation on his incompetence and historical colossal failures. However, it is poignant to note that Failure in Chiefs only defense is to hold America hostage in a failed direction. America rejects that fear card and resents the impotence thrust upon us. There is no remaining credibility or stance to his delusion since he has been incorrect 100 of the time regarding this optional blunder, now he assumes his judgment has any remaining credibility? That is laughable. I can prove the WH and this incompetent administration lacks all credence and is incompetent. If you buy the lie espoused by the Failure in Chief, that our society, mind you, all of civilization is in jeopardy then where is the measurable determined leadership and action? During WWII we rallied every resource of our society to fight and win. Where is the drive for a million men? Where is the draft? Where is the tax to pay for two wars? Failure in Chief tells you to go shopping. How persistently pathetic

20. As much as Liz deserves all this (and more)
I have to reserve just a soupçon of contempt for the Washington Post in running her little hit piece in the first place. It's not like someone like Liz Cheney doesn't have ample opportunities and means to spew her mean little squirts of bile, but why does the Post feel obliged to allocate its valuable media real estate to her?

Surely she knows her dad is one of the most hated people in the world. How could she not? I'd really like to know why her ass along with Barbara and Jenna, aren't in Iraq.

"Only Silver Spooners like her think that we ordinary folk don't get it - as if were school children who just need a stern lecture. To likewise quote Mr. Churchill, Ms. Cheney has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire. Give me Billy Carter any day...."

Give me Billy Carter any day... haha very funny!

I cannot believe how greedy and corrupt the ENTIRE family is. And it is really unfortunate that she is reproducing. Five children? The whole family should be sterilized.
