Et tu, Cheney? Cheney disses Sarah Palin on ‘This Week’; Media now fawns over Cheney
Twitchy ^ | 07/29/2012 | Twitchy Staff

As if former Vice President Dick Cheney is ever anything but candid. That’s just the media’s way of now swooning over Dick Cheney, a man members of the media demonized for years. Their unhinged hatred of Sarah Palin over-rides all that, you see. [SNIP] When the media swoons over Dick Cheney, you know there is an ulterior motive. You know, like a distraction from Obama’s abysmal record. They are water-carriers to the end!

Sorry, never really trusted Dick Cheney...one thing I will say in his favor though...he is an able man and competent administrator unlike almost everyone in this current administration.

Cheney has been recruited by his daughter into the movement to destroy marriage. He is now an implacable enemy of Christian morality and has gone over to the dark side. Sad to watch.

the first interview after the dick gets heart surgery and the promo is about citizen Sarah? A complete setup by the commies to diss Sarah Palin, forget all the other things they could have talked about.

In the article, Cheney says that she was unqualified to be VP-—and, Obama was qualified to be President? Dick, why don’t you save it for Obama? STFU! I like Cheney, but he is, after all, part of the GOP elite by virtue of his long service. And, when push comes to shove, the elite are going to circle the wagons around their own kind.

He supported Kay Bailey Hutchison - that says it all.

Obama has such vast executive experience. NOT. The GOP elite will do anything to preserve their power. When firebrands such as Palin and Bachmann stray off the reservation, they get the “kook” brand. I would like Romney to choose Palin, but he’ll probably pick a Pawlenty. Sad.

Cheney is sour grapes mad because his GOP-e comrade Dewhurst is going down on Tuesday.

The more I hear stuff like this, the more I like Palin.

She is obviously doing something right.

Flame me if you want, but I never liked the guy ... and my enthusiasm for George W. Bush diminished considerably when Cheney was selected to be his running mate.

These knuckleheads are all big-government globalists who are just as hostile to many of the principles we conservatives hold dear as the ACLU is. 'Eff them all.

Cheney’s saying what he thinks will help Romney.
There’s a hardcore political plan behind this statement.
Cheney’s a hardcore political guy, unless he’s changed.

I agree with him...she was picked to run in a sack race with a one legged man.

The Dick without question certainly attacked Gov Sarah Palin today, and personally! If anybody dares to suggest otherwise, I have no time for them.

Has The Dick not heard the saying...if you have nothing nice to say about someone, say nothing?

Not sure about Dick`s spiritual condition, you would think someone that just had a heart transplant would be thinking from a point of gratitude, and would have his Lord on his mind.

But here he is attacking who would be is Sister in Christ, if he is in fact one of The Lord`s.

I prayed a lot for this man over the years, certainly do not regret it, but am very disappointed.

If Gov Palin does not get a personal call from Liz Cheney, offering her support, then I will have to also cross her off my list. In fact I think this statement by Dick warrants a public comment from Liz saying.....That`s my fathers opinion, I love my father but we disagree on this.

Liz has been less supportive of the Gov than I have appreciated, so this may not be coming.

Here is the exact quote:

“I like Governor Palin. I’ve met her. I know her. She —attractive candidate. But based on her background, she’d only been governor for, what, two years? I don’/t think she passed that test ... of being ready to take over. And I think that was a mistake.”

As usual, the MSM is trying to divide and conquer and set conservatives against each other — and again as usual, they are succeeding.

Sour grapes from Cheney over impending Dewhurst loss as well as providing cover to Team Romney for banning Sarah from the convention.

Unlike Mr. RomneyCARE who tanked HIS state,
and managed to IMPOSE so much on the rest of the Nation,
Gov. Palin helped her state.

Mr. RomneyCARE helped himself.

She held elected office for close to 20 years! Or are you suggesting that it doesn`t count because it was in Alaska? She also had business experience.

Tim Pawlenty, Rob Portman,Paul Ryan, Christie etc, do not have more experience than Gov Palin, they are not more qualified to be President, so what in heck are you arguing?

Cheney personally and unnecessarily attacked Gov Palin today, there is no defense against it.

Democrats are the ones that believe small town values etc do not measure up to city folks values, that those of us from small towns are just hicks that do not understand things as they do.

When you make this argument you join the other side.

Agreed, Cheney is an able administrator. He is not conservative - certainly not on social issues, and questionably so on fiscal matters.

I can handle having a government misspend money. I can’t handle having our government endorse men butt-plugging other men & holding it up as admirable.

If someone cannot recognize homosexuality as perverse, violating natural law and God’s revealed law, then I cannot trust their judgment. They may be good at book-keeping, but I don’t want them as a leader. They lack the vision to lead anything.

I really like VP Cheney

is just neither conservative NOR seamly.
