If Pol Pot had a daughter…
… she would probably be a lot like Liz Cheney … On another note, our bridge trolly friend has launched a brand new think tank to try and keep her father’s torture and war machine alive (and to push for a brand new war in Iran.) Her partners in the new venture? Bill Kristol, right wing 9/11 widow Deborah Burlingame and a bunch of leftover advisers from the failed candidacy of John McCain. But why would anyone listen to a woman whose only claim to foreign policy expertise is that she happened to be born to the world’s toughest talking draft dodger, a man who has been wrong about literally everything he has said or predicted since reaching the age of majority, and the only 9/11 family member Glenn Beck doesn’t hate?
Liz says she wants to go back to the thumb screws and drills to the head policies that “kept us safe” under Bush and Cheney. Well … not to be mean, but I seem to recall that 9 months into the Bush-Cheney bad dream, we got attacked by al-Qaida, after Dick failed to do his job as head of Dubya’s terrorism task force, and Condi and George spent time hiking the Crawford trail instead of perusing the memo entitled “Bin Laden Determined To Attack Inside The United States…” kept us safe, you say? I say “not so much …”
