Cheney PalinDuring a discussion about replacing President Barack Obama, former Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter Liz suggested that her dad might be a good Presidential candidate in 2012.

Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Liz Cheney mentioned her father's name as the panel discussed replacing Obama following his decision to respect the Japanese Emperor by bowing during a formal greeting.

Fox News personalities felt compelled to cover Obama's bow to Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko after conservative blogs attacked the president.

Bill Kristol brought up ex-Alaska governor and former VP candidate Sarah Palin. "Sarah Palin would not have bowed to the Emperor of Japan," he said. "She wouldn't have even curtsied to him."

But Palin wasn't the only presidential replacement Liz Cheney had in mind. "You can look at the comparison and think Cheney 2012," she teased.

It wasn't clear if she was joking but the Fox panel seemed to warm to the idea.

Kristol, who has long been an advocate for Sarah Palin, had an even better idea. "Cheney/Palin," he suggested.

"Or Palin/Cheney. Don't be sexist," Chris Wallace replied.

    So being polite to heads of state of major nations is an impeachable offense now?

    WTF? Of course you should bow to the Emperor of Japan. It's called protocol, Christ.
  • philedrifter
    indeed. These retards take offense to anything, it's their job to be insulted by anything a D prez does.

    They're just following the charade anyway; D/R are two sides of the same coin.

    Vote 3rd party.
  • Ok, But, of course, Rethuglicans think the proper way to show respect is to vomit on the Japs!
  • philedrifter
    LOL

    I see what you did there. ;) I like the cut of your jib, good sir.

    He probably drank tea with him as well.

    How come nobody realized that when Chaney said Chaney/Palin, she was talking about running for President HERSELF??

    What a complete nutjob.
  • damixaustex
    That's how I heard her too. Look at her eyes and body language. She thinks she'd make a fine candidate.
  • mick57
    Great a Nuclear 911 .

    If these two run in 2012 you know for sure that the elections are rigged.

    Remember Cheney lied to the 911 Commission and Palin is a quitter.

    911 happened on Cheneys watch ,don't risk another one.

    Vader/Vapid 2012
  • Other great tickets for the GOP:

    The "trickle down" ticket:
    MADDOFF / GREENSPAN 2012

    The "nice guy" ticket:
    NORRIS / TYSON 2012

    The "honest" ticket:
    ROVE / LIMBAUGH 2012

    The "fair and balanced" ticket
    MOON / MURDOCH 2012

    The "family values" ticket
    SANFORD / VITTER 2012

    The "straight" ticket
    FOLEY / HAGGARD 2012

    So many opportunities! Yeah, this sure will be a hot primary in 2012.
  • Hmm, is Tyson a right winger? I don't want to be unfair to this amiable fellow. So, a better suggestion for the "nice guy" ticket:

    NORRIS / NUGENT 2012!

    If Obama had done his job and prosecuted all those sons of bitches, this wouldn't be happening now.
  • ladygeekIT
    My understanding of the political situation for Obama is that he made an election promise to honor the rule of law. I want the rule of law to work. The strategy appears to be that while he is keeping his promise, he also can refuse to release these idiots and keep them in max security prison until they die. While I think that's pretty sneaky, it may be necessary to have a show trial in this instance. I'm very progressive but also aware of political situations and how sometimes, you need to make certain sacrifices. I'm sure others will disagree with me but it seems to me that this is politically necessary for Obama.

    This trial may also finally nail the Repub party as corrupt since it's already been reported that Cheney lied about the events of 9/11. Shrub was hidden because it was politically necessary to save him from any crimes. Unfortunately for Cheney, his crimes will finally be outed in this trial and finally brought to justice.

    Are they fucking out of their mind, anyone with any sense will hope these two run together, because they will definitely lose.
  • Mikethedog
    It would be a little frightening.... what if there are just enough people out of their fucking minds to vote these two psycopaths into office? It's happened before! We just came off of 8 years of Bush/Cheney and no one has really adequately explained to me how that happened. Oh that's right they stole the election and then scared the shit out of everyone to get re-elected. It's only been 10 months since we sent Dick packing and he just won't go away him and his creepy daughter are like the smell of cat piss, you just can't get rid of it.
