Vice President Cheney's daughter Liz Cheney was on Fox News Sunday and went after President Obama's Nobel acceptance speech.
She said Obama "repeatedly" travels abroad and said that it is "nothing short of shameful" he can "accuse Americans of having tortured people."
She added that he is "casting aspersions and I would say slandering men and women in the CIA."

Hang on: haven't Republicans consistently defended the use of torture? Now they're offended to be accused of it? It seems they want to have it both ways, be free to use torture but not be accused of using it.

Why is TPM rising to Faux Noise's bait?
Is the news flow soooooo slow today that TPM has nothing else to report?

Americans, by definition, are incapable of torture. When we beat up prisoners or they expire under duress, it cannot be called "torture" or "murder". When will the muslim-terrorist usurper understand these basic divine truths?

What bothers me most about her is that she has that same damned permanent smirk on her face as she comes out with these bald-faced lies, slander and bullpucky that her father had and has every time he opens his mouth to do the same exact thing.

Listen up Fifth deferment...what is truly shameful is your cowardly daddy hid from his duty to his country 5 times yet, had absolutely no problem sending thousands of his countrymen to their deaths in a war which was never necessary. So shut the hell up you miserable piece of crap or go do the right thing and join up yourself. Maybe earn a bit of honor for the family name? Not likely though is it Fifth deferment?
