For her next trick, Liz will author a book on positive sibling relationships
In case you were hoping that the Cheneys would give up on their rehab tour, I bring bad news: It will never end. The latest: Dick, Lynne, and Liz Cheney at a Politico event, interviewed by gossip columnist Mike Allen. The
New York Times captures the scene:
Most of the questions during the hourlong interview on Monday were directed at Mr. Cheney, and his daughter rarely stepped in, glancing at her father or the standing-room-only crowd and jumping in only once or twice to make a point.
And in between lectures from her father, what was the most pointed of Liz's points?
“The idea that you’re going to say to a woman, ‘Let me talk to you about some woman’s issues, and you must feel this way about this issue or that way about that issue because you’re a woman.’ ” Ms. Cheney said. “As a woman, I find that really offensive. I think it’s really paternalistic, and I think it’s not going to serve Democrats well in the long run.”
Yeah, you tell 'em Liz! And if there's anybody in a better position to push back on the father-knows-best paternalism of today's Democratic Party, it's you! Especially when you're making a joint appearance with your dad, a joint appearance in which you say almost nothing ... except to attack Democrats for begin paternalistic.
