Liz Cheney: The ‘gratitude’ Americans feel for my dad ‘is matched only by our love for him’

[RandySF]

Former Vice President Dick Cheney embraced his Darth Vader persona in a recent interview with CBS, arguing that politicians with “warmth and friendliness and so forth” could not protect the country.

CBS Sunday Morning took a break from its special coverage of the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina on Sunday to give Dick Cheney and his daughter, Liz, a chance to promote their new book, Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America, which is being published by a division of CBS.

“First of all, it wasn’t torture,” Dick Cheney said of waterboarding. “It was the most significant source of intelligence for us that we absolutely had to have, and that was on al Qaeda, how big they were, where they were, who their leaders were, what their plans were, and so forth.”

According to the former vice president, he has no reason to apologize because he had not “sacrificed our values” by approving so-called enhanced interrogation techniques.

1. !

Send the bastard to prison and throw away the key.

[Thinkingabout]

2. Cheney is a terrible person, since I do not have any gratitude towards Cheney means I do not have to

Love him. Phew, that is a big relief.

[mcar]

3. Gack

[Mnemosyne]

4. I hadn't realized that Liz is delusional. How sad when her father is Dick Cheney, War Criminal. nt

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

5. Um...Liz?

On second thought, nevermind.

[2naSalit]

6. Therefore...

she doesn't really love him if our gratitude is matching her love for him.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

19. That's what I was thinking. She must hate his fucking guts.

[madamesilverspurs]

7. Cheney "family values" leave something to be desired.

[LittleBlue]

8. Delusion

She should feel nothing but shame for her war criminal father

[SummerSnow]

9. Another attempt by Liz Cheney to make us think her father is human

[John Poet]

10. WHAT planet is she from, anyway?

[spanone]

11. SNL material.... these people don't have a single clue

[tabasco]

12. That moron didn't fall far from the tree

I wish Dick Cheney would choke on a chicken bone.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. Gratitude for all the American soldiers killed in Iraq - hell no!

such a futile war and he lied his way to convince that the Iraqis were responsible for 9/11 and there were WMDS.

[UtahLib]

14. An attempt to convince us or yourself, Liz, you sad and sick little chip off the old block. nt

[UTUSN]

15. OMZ allow me to be the first R&K for, biggest bwah-ha-HAH of (anytime)!1 n/t

[blue neen]

16. Is this from The Onion?

It really is that twisted.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

[katsy]

18. Girl's on crack

[COLGATE4]

20. Obviously the shit doesn't fall far from the Bat. nt

[eppur_se_muova]

21. Strictly speaking, she is correct -- both are at zero, so they match perfectly. nt

[zazen]

33. exactly what I was going to post! talk about an unconscious "tell"

The truth has a way of finding the light.

[peace13]

22. Higher than a kite!

When I saw Shooter on TV I about broke the remote getting the channel changed. She can think what she wants but we will always know that her father is an evil man holding a heart hostage from a deserving human.

[hatrack]

23. No, Liz, the revulsion we feel for him is matched only by our contempt for you

Any questions? Sure hope that helped straighten things out for you . . .

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. Very Cheney-esque....act like a very bad thing is a good thing ! nt

[JEB]

25. I have more gratitude for a dog turd

when I step in it. Match that Liz.

[Aerows]

26. Good Grief!

I thought for sure this was an Onion article.

[alcina]

I spit up what I was drinking, laughed out loud, and looked for The Onion link. Holy cow! That is one serious psychotic break.

[DesertFlower]

27. one of the most evil people alive.

[PowerToThePeople]

31. Truth. Eom

[hifiguy]

49. I think he and War Criminal Kissinger are the two finalists

in that contest. Kissinger by a nose and a puff of sulfur.

[hollysmom]

28. this is the woman who attacked her sister to defend her father.

I think she drinks a lot

[Kath1]

29. Gratitude?

Anything but. He and that fucking moron that was president were wrong on everything - Katrina, Iraq, the economy, women's rights....

I have nothing but contempt for him and so do a lot of other people.

[lpbk2713]

30. Gratitude indeed.

A lawyer was so grateful he even thanked Unca Dick for shooting him
in the face with a shotgun. I'll never be able to figure that one out.

[MrMickeysMom]

32. Think about what she said for a second...

No love either way.

Good thing, too. To love something like that sucks your soul dry.

Miscreants.

[vankuria]

43. Reality Check

Um, Dick you did not protect the country...remember that huge terror attack on Sept. 11, 2001, the biggest in U.S. history?

[Bohemianwriter]

44. I envision....

People dancing in the streets, celebrating when the news comes out he's dead. Or at least rotting the rest of his life in prison. Like they did in England when Thatcher croaked.

But I'm always game for a laugh over grand delusions anyway....

[clarice]

45. How awful. nt

[treestar]

46. He was just on tv

No sound, but the words said he was blaming Obama for the rise of ISIS he and Bush are to blame.

[onecaliberal]

57. WHAT!

[tavernier]

58. I suffer from some regrets in my life...

I have caused hurt to people that I shouldn't have. I'm ashamed and will be judged. I live with that and wish them well every day of my life.

I don't judge others, but I'm appalled that there are those that don't have the heart to
admit to wrong judgement leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths of innocent people, including our own countrymen.


You are blind and deaf, sir. I pray that someday you will see and hear your mistakes... There still is time; or else there is no redemption for you. 👹

[roamer65]

59. Hey Lizzie.

Go fuck yourself.

Wow...I feel a whole lot better now.
