Post #212 'KeepAmericaSafe:' Under Construction, Pt. III

I am so disappointed. Liz Cheney's website, 'KeepAmericaSafe,' is still not finished. The eldest daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney has a rallying place for opposition to the "radical" foreign policy of the President Barack Obama, but yet there is still no update about joining the military. Or learning a new language -- Arabic? -- and joining the CIA.

But the website still incites a call to talk radio. Surely, the 'God, guns and country' crowd that Cheney is speaking to does not value a call to talk radio over a call to national service. The cynic in me says that Cheney does know her audience -- "ignorance is bliss."

But I am really disappointed because Liz Cheney's website, 'KeepAmericaSafe,' ignores the big story of the week: Last week's release of an FBI interview summary of Dick Cheney's answers in the criminal investigation in the Valerie Plame affair -- on 72 occasions, Cheney equivocated, politely speaking, during his three-hour May 2004 interview. That is why Federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald declared that "there is a cloud over the vice president."

Don't worry, Liz, I doubt the crowd you're speaking to has ever heard of Fitzgerald or even \Valerie Plame -- I'm sure they know that Obama is a Muslim! :p

But please explain, Liz:

How did 'Scooter' Libby find out that the wife of Bush administration war critic Joseph Wilson worked at the CIA? Libby's own handwritten notes suggest Libby found out from Cheney, and Libby talked to Cheney about this, according his grand jury testimony. Cheney "cannot recall Libby telling him how he first heard of Valerie Wilson," according to the FBI summary.

How long has ol' Dick suffered from a diminished mental capacity? Should somebody with a diminished mental capacity serve as Vice President!?!

[Insert your own 'diminished mental capacity-as-President' joke here.]

Rest easy, Liz: 'Your' crowd will not consider the implications -- either Dick Cheney has a diminished mental capacity, or he is full of crap! 'Your' crowd will never know.

By the way, the Cheney interview summary was released last Friday to the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. At least somebody wants an informed electorate.
