Anchor Anderson Cooper grilled Dick Cheney’s daughter Liz Cheney on his CNN program on Thursday evening about her father’s defense of the Bush administration’s anti-terror tactics. At one point, he asked, “Is it appropriate, though, for your father, who has had access to high-level intelligence for -- for eight years, to be very publicly waving a flag, saying, we’re much weaker now than ever before? Isn’t that, in fact, emboldening our enemies? Couldn’t you make that argument?”
Cooper later asked the former State Department official, “If a Democrat was doing this in a Republican administration, wouldn’t be the Republicans be saying, this is traitorous?” The anchor also questioned whether the CIA actually took care in implementing its enhanced interrogations: “But -- more than 100 people are known to have died in U.S. custody. Twenty -- I think about 20 of those have been ruled a homicide. I mean, if -- if these were just tightly-controlled things, how come so many people are being murdered in U.S. custody?”
The CNN anchor had the Cheney daughter on for a live interview eleven minutes into the 10 pm Eastern hour of his Anderson Cooper 360 program. He came out the gate using a term that he led his program with: “Is it -- is it appropriate for your father to be so out in front right now so soon after leaving office, essentially mocking the sitting president of the United States?”

Gloria, contain your son please....
As dumb as Cooper is, I didn't think that even he was capable of rationalizing Obama's incompetency in such a moronic twisted way as he's done here.
These people are truly deranged...
Trial balloon that will fall flat like a lead balloon.
The Dems are desperate at this point. They can’t have an intellectual debate on protecting the citizens of this country so they have to start LYING like they always do.
No, but your cult leader is.
Nothing to worry about Anderson. Urkel can just send you to the Middle East and you can teabag and b*tchslap them all into submission
Emboldening our enemies Anderson?? You lib drive-by’s didn’t care much about that for the last eight years...When you were bashing the POTUS BUSH on a daily basis or sensationalizing bad stories about or own troops.
The Drive-By’s have NO credibility anymore.......
right , let’s just hope our enemies don’t notice the train wreck that is occurring in Washington DC.
What they may underestimate is the ability and the likelihood
of our U.S. military to reach out and crush them like a bug if they think they can now act up any more than they do already .
Something tell me there is not a lot of undue waiting around for D.C. to call the shots , if there is a good shot to be taken . And that’s the way it should be .
WOW! Absolutely STUNNING hypocricy! Have these libtards no shame at all? do they all have their heads stuffed up Satan’s 4$$?

Too much teabagging has affected Cooper’s brain.
The majority of Coops’s teabagging episodes occurred while he faked being passed out.
Anderson, admit it, you want Dick Cheney to be your daddy, don’t you?
