Lynne Cheney on last night's Daily Show
I'm rather surprised she actually showed up, yet rather disgusted that these vile people are still trying to rewrite history.

2. She gifted John with a darth vader statue.
She thought she was being funny but I love how John says,
" is there a microphone in that thing?"
Hur-frickin-larryus!

6. do yourself a favor and watch the end of it
Jon firmly corrected one of her lies/talking points, much to the enthusiastic applause from the audience.

The video should be up on the Comedy Central site by now.

20. I liked the part where she rattled off a RW applauser, waited for the applause--
to dead silence.

She was visibly pissed off after that!

8. Jitterbug: I did exactly the same thing
As much as I love Stewart and Colbert, there are certain people who seem to be evil incarnate, and as such, I can't look at them on my tee vee.

16. Love your handle
By far my all-time favorite book.
When I signed up for DU I thought about using Allen Barr for a handle
but thought it looked a bit cheesey.
Wish I could change my handle.

Couldn't bring myself to watch the smarmy witch. I turned the volume down and put on the CC to kinds keep up with what was being said. I just couldn't bear to hear her voice.

12. There were two times that she was ice-cold nasty
I am queueing up the TiVo to make sure I get this right.

"I walk down the streets of New York and you don't want to look anyone in the eye" What the hell does that mean? Scared of the darkies or just that mean and distrustful of the human race with no consideration of the human condition?

"Mary herself is such a good honorable DECENT person..." puts people who WORRY about gay people at ease.... um who worries about gay people? Worries about their soul or worries that they might take your car stereo you know like the darkies or worries about them just randomly out of the blue in public fucking your husband in the ass? I'm sorry I must have missed something growing up WORRYING about the poor and powerless and fearing putting power in the hands of mean people who take advantage of it to punish the weak and exulting those who live off exploiting that situation.

Perhaps I watched to carefully.



Jon nicely put her feet to the fire.


Also-she has TV hair, made to be seen from 15-20 feet away. Badly hacked at.

BTW- I am doing everything possible to get "I wouldn't fuck her with Lynne Cheney's dick" into the national lexicon.

Sweet Jesus she is evil. I'm tired of even giving them any consideration of normalcy.

The crowd groaned at her dismissal of the Madrid and London bombings.

19. She meant American soil or people
thus the Cole and the American embassies in Africa.

On the other hand, she did come to talk about her book...

29. Bullshit
no offense but as numero uno #1 in the world and THE leader in this supposed war against the terrorists (since there is no nation to rival us any more at least militarily) everything is an "American interest" especially since Spain and the UK are held up by them as the first examples of nations allied with us in this fight.* Also both attacks are used as fuel to their fear fire.

* -okay Spain was at one time.

18. Her NYC comment was a comparison between people in Montana
who you can face eye to eye and the New Yorkers you can't face eye to eye. Notice she compared an entire state to a city. And you are right that all she sees are the diverse NYC crowd. It was the worst offense of the night. I'd like the media to call her on it.

27. Here we see the effect of not having our own activist media
aside from the web we don't have talk radio to get the talk flowing on this and feed into the MSM. Compare her appearance with, for one example, Kerry saying that US forces kick in Iraqi doors in the middle of the night like terrorists--THAT was siezed upon by their noise machine and was mentioned on the news for several days. Lynne's disturbing airing of the inner workings of the *cough* second most powerful couple in the world gets zero, no, nada, none attention.

Three ready made sound bites and they disappear into the ether of the overly informed world but not the masses.

37. Her comment about New Yorkers was offensive. In recent months I have told people that on my last
trip to New York I realized how much people looked each other in the eye. And, that I liked it.

I am glad Jon made her talk about lesbian/gay marriage. She had to fess up that she did not support an amendment to deny gays the right to marry.

The next question would have been - then how can you actively support a party that strives to deny a group of Americans a right that other groups have?

But, for someone who doesn't want to look New Yorkers in the eye this may have been too much for her.

43. I've actually read (I think it was in Time or Newsweek)
An article reliving the author's (a NY'er) experience moving to LA. She said that in NY people avoid making eye contact with each other on the sidewalk. In LA, the home of plastic surgery fake tans, people regulary eye each other on the sidewalk, check each other out, etc. Almost like a catwalk.

Just sumthin I read a while back...

55. I think it might depend what part of LA you are in. Or maybe I'm not looking at people;)
actually, i go to NYC a lot and notice the eye contact. It is probably personal. Yet, I must say saying what Mrs. Cheney said to Jon, in NYC, was tacky.
Like being invited to a dinner party in another state and commenting that the food just isn't the same as where I come from. You know.....

45. yeah -- that was pretty revealing ...
Putting on her "oh I'm so patriotic" act, and then she disses the entire population of NYC. If only I had a time machine so I could have zipped her back -- oh, maybe 6 years and a bit, when the GOP was falling over itself saying how much it cared about New Yorkers.

Seriesly ... just WHEN, do you imagine, Lynn Cheney last actually walked, not surrounded by bodyguards and sycopahnts, on the sidewalks of New York CIty or any other US city???

She's fucking delusional. An habitual liar.

17. Give her credit for stepping into the lion's den
she, and others, know that if they want to reach people who actually read a book, this is the place to be.

Stewart was decent. Interviewing usually is not his good point so he made the most of it. Both knew that at least it was going to be short.

I still think that both have it relatively easy that it is their daughter not a son (which, of course, they don't have) who is gay. I think that even the most extremists tolerate lesbian but not homosexuals. Why? Because only the latter is mentioned in the bible.

When your ratings are in the toilet and there is not even the flimsiest of defenses for the catastrophes you've created, just say "history will be the judge." :eyes:

The Cheneys are war criminals and profiteers. Period.

28. They have a publishing machinery to fix that
They are writing the history as we speak. They have learned that getting a story out first not only sets the agenda/parameters but is generally followed by the pack of journalists as THE story or is responded to or is mentioned you know so you look considerate.

They operate on the margins.

25. Missed it. :(
Unfortunately, the new episodes of the Daily Show aren't on until midnight for me, and by then, I'm usually crashed out. I'll be catching this one when it reruns tonight.

From what I hear, Lynne does get ripped to shreds, so I'm sure I'll get a schadenfreudegasm from it.

34. Way better than her puff piece with Joe Scarborough
At least Mika had the spine to ask her a couple of real questions. The rest of the "interview" was just her telling everyone how wonderful Wyoming was during the 40's and 50's. She said that about a dozen times. The republicans really do long for the days of overt racism, McCarthyism, high teen pregnancy rates and nanny-Colleges. Sheesh.

Oh, and she used the exact same line - verbatim - about America not being attacked again since 9/11. Obviously that was intended to be a defining theme.

I can't stand that woman. She and Dick "Dick" Cheney are perfect for each other. Between them they have barely half a heart.

42. What happened to good old fashioned shunning? People (and I use that term loosely)
like the Cheneys and Bushes have to be isolated and not given any credence to. How can Pelosi and Reid even meet with Shrub in the White House knowing that he's a war criminal? It boggles my mind.

Jon Never Ever Should have had Cheney's partner in crime on. Period.
