I simply can't understand why the Cheneys would hesitate to take advantage of that fair minded offer from the ever lovely and gracious Maddow.

But a lot of other lefties have appeared on FNC and receive(d) a civil reception. Ms Maddow is inviting a guest but promising that the reception will not be civil. Who in his or her right mind would accept such an invitation? FWIW, Dick Cheney took Joe Lieberman to school in the 2000 vice-presidential debate. Maddow should be careful what she wishes for -- she is no Joe Lieberman. There are people who won’t go on FNC because they perceive it to be biased against the left.

So by your logic, Charles Manson and John Wayne Gacy should be released forthwith because their crimes were in the past and no longer relevant. “It would all about past stuff and not anything relevant today.”

Just like we like to watch train wrecks. You betcha!!! You are so right. I don't watch FOX unless I am stuck in my doctor's office without a choice. timzank, do you really believe many independents and democratics watch FOX? I just checked and I am not foaming at the mouth right now and I am watching one of your favorites SHUSTER!! I think if news got out that Liz was going on Rachel there would be many that would watch.

There is no market share to "win over" on her channel. At least with Fox News there is an enormous amount of independent viewers, some which can swayed by Democrats who appear. That's just not the case at MSNBC, where there clearly is no one else watching besides the rabid "foaming at the mouth" progressive viewer.

Sarainitaly Rachel has said often that she doesn't own a television. She would debate Liz or Daddy. Trust me on that. She has had more righties on her show than all of MSNBC put together.

It would be about putting Bush or Cheney (her dad if Liz went on), on trial. It would all about past stuff and not anything relevant today. In my opinion it wouldn't be in either of the Cheney's interest to go on. There is nothing for them to gain, especially considering the audience of the show.
