Liz Cheney, the filthy swine daughter of Darth Cheney, denies Halliburton is involved BP Oil Spill

[zulchzulu]

There are more than a few troubling episodic distortions of truth taken by the spawn of Dick Cheney today on "This Week", but the focus on how this ridiculously disjointed impostor defending her war crime daddy at all costs reached a new low ...even for a Cheney.

Liz Cheney wants you and I to think that Halliburton was not involved in the BP oil spill. If you think so, the swine retorts like a scatterbrained sow that you aren't on this planet.

Really, Liz, you verminous jingoist hellbent on thirsting for a terrorist attack on our country to boost Republican ratings?

I'm sure Liz never heard of the Wall Street Journal. They had this choice little story about her precious Halliburton in the paper that she must have used to expurgate her big smelly elephantine ass:

An oil-drilling procedure called cementing is coming under scrutiny as a possible cause of the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico that has led to one of the biggest oil spills in U.S. history, drilling experts said Thursday.

(snip)

The scrutiny on cementing will focus attention on Halliburton Co., the oilfield-services firm that was handling the cementing process on the rig, which burned and sank last week. The disaster, which killed 11, has left a gusher of oil streaming into the Gulf from a mile under the surface.

According to Transocean Ltd., the operator of the drilling rig, Halliburton had finished cementing the 18,000-foot well shortly before the explosion.

So when Arianna Huffington made the following statement about Halliburton, Liz Cheney not only lied like a Cheney, but cut off dialogue and conversation like a Cheney:

Arianna Huffington: "We have the poster child of Bush-Cheney crony capitalism, Halliburton, involved in this," Arianna said. "They, after all, were responsible for cementing the well. Here's Halliburton, after it defrauded the American taxpayer hundreds of millions of dollars -- "

"I don't know what planet you live on," Cheney shot back. "What you are saying has no relationship to the truth, no relationship to the facts."

"I live on this planet," Arianna said. "Halliburton was involved in this. How can you say there is no relationship?"

More of those magical moments when Liz Cheney proved she is a pathological liar with an intense case of Obama Derangement Syndrome:

1. It will be instructive to see if Politifact checks the bullying warmonger Liz Cheney on this.

Is there no pundit with the balls to stand up to this bully?

26. Still waiting. Nothing, so far, from Politifact!

2. Should accuse her of being a Halliburton floozie.

Probably has stock in BP and Halliburton.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

18. Soemone needs to remind people that Halliburton cemented shortly before the explosion

they probably planned it.

[StopTheNeoCons]

3. She's a whore, plain and simple...nt

[Festivito]

4. They poured the cement hours before, bought the firefighting company 3 weeks before.

And, they're not involved with either cementing or firefighting?

[tridim]

5. Which means exactly one thing, Halliburton is probably more guilty than we assumed.

Does daddy Dick really think this shit works any more?

[Forrest Greene]

14. Y'know, The Last Clause Of Your Subject Line

...is just a classic, isn't it? "Halliburton is probably more guilty than we assumed."

That should be typeset as boilerplate & featured over the page one nameplate of every newspaper in the country. Free PNG files for every website. Brass plaques, t-shirts, bumper stickers, radio aerial flags, tattoos, PSAs, schoolbooks, flags towed by airplanes, graffiti, giveaway drinking glasses from McDonalds.

6. being the spawn of liars and swindlers, what do you really expect?

She's a liar and a swindler.

period.

[glitch]

7. That makes me think they are even more responsible than I had previously imagined. nt

[Canuckistanian]

8. Well, let's bring this out in court

Schlumberger was there to conduct tests on Halliburton's cementing. Sclumberger left because of safety concerns with Halliburton's cementing. It's all a matter of record who was involved. There are permits, contracts and eyewitness accounts.

It's astounding that she'd even ATTEMPT to deny Halliburton's involvement.

[zulchzulu]

12. If I was a prosecutor, I would use her testimony to bring the Cheney's down

It's a very great opportunity to blow the Cheney Lie Machine WIDE OPEN with her comments and then show the actual proof we humans have accessible to take her and the whole Bush Crime Family down.

Let's go the court, indeed.

[ljm2002]

21. Sadly, it is not astounding in the least...

...she and the rest of the rabid rightwingers lie as a matter of course. It is one of their strategies, to lie as needed. They will lie in order to get people to vote against their own best interests; even more will they lie in order to avoid responsibility for their own negligence and misdeeds.

It's how they roll.

9. In all fairness, I think it was the Iraq fraud she was denying

Cheney's denial came in direct response to Arianna saying, "They, after all, were responsible for cementing the well. Here is Halliburton, after it defrauded the American taxpayer of hundreds of millions of dollars…"

After retorting, "I don't know what planet you live on," Cheney goes on to say, Your assertion that Halliburton defrauded the U.S. government… Arianna, it’s absolutely not true."

Yeah, she's lying about the Iraq fraud -- but it's not quite the bald-faced lie about the BP blowout that everyone is attributing to her.

[zulchzulu]

16. Besides what she lied about that's on video, there is indeed a lot about Halliburton fraud...

17. For what it's worth

Jake Tapper thought she was denying the Iraq fraud as well.

@thinkprogress I think she was talking about the fraud charges, not the oil spill

I watched it yesterday and that is what I thought as well. But I agree with the upthread, I think that Haliburton was way more involved than we really know.

[lunatica]

10. So is she having a public meltdown?

That would be an interesting story. But just bloviating and letting frogs and venom fall out of her mouth isn't anything newsworthy.

The fact that she out there beating the family business drum (Dick Cheney is the family business) tells me they're scared of having the spotlight on them.

Liz has no reason to be out in front of the cameras except to protect her father. That's the only reason she's ever been out there.

[Enthusiast]

20. The Cheneys fear the true nature

of the secret energy meetings will become public. Kenny Boy had a place of honor at the table.

11. One thing I will give the Bush twins...

you never hear them flapping their damn mouths all over the place.

15. Too Full Of Margaritas n/t

[and-justice-for-all]

13. Why does she keep talking?

her father is after all a criminal and a murderer.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

19. nobody seems to be correcting her and I don't see the media pointing their fingers at Halliburton

22. She's demon spawn, so what more can be said.

[paparush]

23. "Your facts are wrong" seems to be a phrased hard-wired into Cheney DNA.

25. My local news reported Haliburton was involved

..this morning. They didn't get the liz cheney lie memo.
