Liz Cheney Defends Sarah Palin, Suggests Cheney 2012 Ticket
During her appearance on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, the former State Department official and eldest daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney spoke about the political future of Sarah Palin. But though she had kind words for the former Alaska governor, she might soon be an intra-party rival. Or a potential running mate?
“Whatever Republican takes the mantle of our party in 2012 they’re going to have to be able to address these incredibly grave challenges we’re facing as a nation,” Liz Cheney said. To attract Republicans and independents, a strong candidate would be necessary, she continued, but it would be “nothing short of sexist” to assume Sarah Palin couldn’t be that person.
NPR’s Juan Williams fervently disagreed with Cheney’s assertion, seconded by William Kristol, running through the standard anti-Palin points with near-robotic ease.
The conversation then moves to a non-starter of a non-story — President Obama’s bow to the emperor of Japan — including comparative clips of the almost infamous Obama meeting and a past meeting between the same emperor and Vice President Cheney. Kristol seems ambivalent about the clips, but Liz Cheney notes, “You could also look at the comparison and think Cheney 2012.”
The table erupts in a peculiar laughter before someone comments, “Let loose, make news!” Indeed.

Why is the bow a non-starter of a non-story? I recall when the NYTimes chastised Clinton for “almost bowing” to the emperor….but in today’s world, it’s a non-story?
Interesting, the Asian media thinks it is a big story….and an embarrassing one at that. Just read the ABC story about it — “shows weakness”.
Why must you always just bless what Obama does, do you ever put a critical eye on his actions, or is that against the rules here?
rmbltmbl says: anything coming ahead for AP’s Palin book fact-check?
Sunnyr says: Liz is brilliant and has a great sense of humor. She cut her teeth on politics and has forgotten more about Foreign Policy than the Dweeb in the White House will ever know. I would love to see her and Sarah Palin run for public office. We need more conservative women to balance out all the Liberal half-wits in Congress today.

Obama’s National Security Chief Of Staff Goes ‘Nucular’
After years of the cringe-worthy pronunciation of nu-cu-lar during the Bush White House, it seemed like we finally had an administration who had a litmus test in staffing their National Security detail - pronounce the word "nuclear." Not so. During an interview to discuss Iran's weapons program with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell today, National Security Chief of Staff Denis McDonough definitely uttered the term Nucular. Gotcha! Right-wing critics eager for payback? Go! Video after the jump.
