Liz Cheney and Sam Donaldson Spar on CIA Probe

Liz, sorry! Daddy is up to his neck in this and you know it! He violated US law and International law. For once I don’t blame GWB. I can only hope this goes right to the top!

Please “discontinue” the Liz Cheney appearances! She’s truly overbearing and I will quit watching parts of This Week if I learn she’s on!
She should get her own program!
Thank you!

I also witnessed the Liz Cheney debacle this morning. What in the world is in the water that the Cheney’s drink that detaches them from reality? They don’t seem to understand they have lost the respect and trust of most Americans. I think it would be a big mistake to have her back on the show again. It sounds like your viewers will turn out if she is.

I have been a faithful watcher of your program for some time but I have to say when you have Liz Cheney on I may as well turn off the TV. She is rude and interrupts everyone. She adds nothing to your program on Sunday morning. She is as irritating as her Father, if not worse. If you can’t control her keep her off your news program. Better yet, just keep her off.

Sam Donaldson: HOORAY!
LiZ Cheney: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The comments regarding “double jeopardy” are completely off base. Does a police investigation result in double jeopardy? Absolutely not. The only time double jeopardy applies is when some legal issue has been adjudicated. There has been no adjudication in the case of CIA abuses in Iraq/Afghanistan. There is plenty to be concerned about where the Justice Department under the Bush/Cheney Administration was operating in a hugely partisan and political manner.

Please stop allowing this woman on the show. She needs to retreat into the cave with her father. Like many conservatives today, she has no regard for the truth.

George, i switched to your program because of not caring for david gregory.
Gplease get rid of old SAM D. who is and always has been rude. You and your guests are too thoughtful and interesting to put up with SAM. I and many others will be watching too see if you take some action. Keep your ratings moving up. DON’T LOSE US

how can the whiz liz cheney be objective when it is her own father is on the rack for lies and treason?
and george will says that medicar is going broke but the president says it is a good program ..it is a good program george government needs to pay back the money they borrowed

way to go SAM . slam liz and her daddy tricky dicky cheney

After a bittersweet weekend mourning and honoring Ted Kennedy, I could have done without seeing Liz Cheney on your roundtable.
Why must we be subjected to her biased positions about her disgraceful and criminal father? The majority of Americans believe torture is wrong and that America should adhere to the Geneva Convention’s rule of law. Those who broke the law, like Cheney, should be outed and tried.
Hopefully, the truth will win out. In the meantime, spare us any shameless Cheneys at the roundtable!

This morining I tuned in to “This Week” expecting to hear independent news people, columnists and pundits to be discussing the weeks issues – only to find that a Republican shill for the Bush Administation (Liz Cheney) was posing as an objective comentator on the show. Liz Cheney has no place discussing the CIA Issues or anything to do with her father’s dishonest and blundering administration; she cannot be objective and is of no value to any discussion by thinking people on this issue. First Michelle Malkin and now Liz Cheney!! What is going on at ABC? If I wanted this kind of Right Wing nut talk I would tune in to Fox News. When I turn on a Sunday morning news show, where serious politics are being discussed by the media, I expect independent news people to be analyzing the issues – not a spokesperson for one side or the other! Once again, I turned off “This Week” which I always used to watch I might add, and turned on “Meet the Press”.

Liz Cheney is by far THE LEASE QUALIFIED PERSON ever to appear on this show. Why is she on?

Liz Cheney is a detriment to your program because she clearly has a personal conflict in any discussion that connects back to her father. I understand and agree with the need for a panel filled with a variety of political perspectives, but her personal connection detracts from the show’s overall appeal and apparently makes her feel empowered to interrupt other panelists and disregard George S.’s wishes when he’s trying to move forward. Republican panelists – yes. Cheney? No.

I should add that from now on when Cheney is on I’m switching to another show on Sunday Morning, the same way I switch whenever I see ole’ Patrick J. Buchanan on MSNBC.

Lynne Cheney is a bully and continued to talk or YELL over George and when Sam Donaldson commented back to her and continued to spar with her, it was only then when Sam talked that George chided Sam! Go back and look, just watched it! And George, I really thought you had more backbone than that! Why the hell is anyone having that woman “Lynne Cheney” on their programs anyway? What the hell credibility does she warrant by having her step up to be daddy’s PIT BULL? WHERE THE HELL ARE THE WALTER CRONCHITES TODAY! NO ONE IS REPORTING THE REAL NEWS! GOOD ON SAM DONALDSON FOR STANDING UP TO THE LIAR CHENEY!

What a waste to have Liz Cheney on. She is another rightwing nut!! I hope her father is investigated fully and pays the price if found guilty. Probably will never happen though. The Cheneys need to crawl back in their cave and stay there. They really have nothing to offer in public service.

So the mentality of Fox News has invaded George`s show. Classic Cheney…. Overbearing and rude. The proverbial apple didn`t fall far from the tree she`s just like her Daddy. Sure made it easy to go back to the more refined and civil Meet the Press.

There’s gotta be some good stuff floating around the offices of the CIA on the Cheney’s. All the blustering and fringed indignation has got to be covering up something that scares the heck outta them.

“She received her bachelor’s degree from Colorado College, where she wrote her senior thesis, “The Evolution of Presidential War Powers,” in 1988.She received her Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from the University of Chicago Law School in 1996, having also taken courses in Middle Eastern history at the Oriental Institute”
Not qualified?

Big mistake to have Liz Cheney on the roundtable, especially weighing in on CIA issues, but really any issue. She advocates her side without contemplating both sides. All others seem to think, and observe. She’s shrill and doesn’t listen. She doesn’t take part in the conversation but overruns it. What a mess, George. Looking at your face I sensed you might do the wise things and keep her away in the future.

Please DO NOT have that awful Liz Cheney on your program EVER again. She shouted down each of your trained journalists and made George look as if he had no control of his own show. Why are people like her given a voice on the mainstream networks. It won’t make the right like you/us any better. And, it makes people like me – a college professor over 60 – want to turn off the TV immediately upon hearing her voice. She is RUDE. NO to her and her father and the horses they rode in on!

please dont have that terible liz chaney on again, she talks and sounds just like her crooked father. and talks over everyone, i love sam d. and i love your program, i hope i dont have to give it up, but if i ever see her again, ill just turn it off, thank tou

Liz Cheney is a hog who is there campaigning for her own father. The rude inept venom filled rhetoric coming out of her two bit tongue is sheer desperation to stall any investigation into her fathers unlawful acts in office these last 8 years. Hopefully, the democrats can see thru this political gamesmanship and continue looking into that disaster of an administration.

I’ve always enjoyed the intellectual and informative discussions among the guests on “This Week”. Liz Cheney certainly destroys the balance of that intelligent discussion! Her contempt for the basic principles of our country’s foundation are mere reflections of her father’s! It’s disrespectful of the other distinguished guests to have her sit at the same table. And it’s a terrific way to lose viewers!

When I found out that Liz Cheney was going to be on this mornings program I knew from the start something was not going to go right. It was a put off for me. I still have it recorded but I will watch when I do my morning exercises so I can get a great workout whiles telling her off at the same time. Please I have much respect for the show and all the views presented to me as a viewer however, please do not bring Michelle Malkin or Ms. Cheney, their Imposing views reach the point of screaming, and incoherence remarks fear mongering with issues. For that I will turn to watch Fox Noise, and I do not watch that channel. Thanks.

Karl Rove?
Michelle Malkin?
And now Liz Cheney.
After the first two I briefly stopped watching. Then, it looked like George got the message and only had grownups on for awhile.
What should I do now?

Liz Cheney should not be allowed to pose as any kind of expert. She has a serious conflict of interest and ABC is allowing her to continue the lies and crimes of her father and the Bush administration. Shame on ABC and any real news organization that chooses a ratings gimmick over real independent discussion. If she remains as a correspondent I will stop watching. I prefer legitimate news.

As long as George has Liz Cheney on, I will never watch George. What did George get in order that Ms Cheney makes an appearance on his show?
Why is she on?

George,
I have never written before but have always held your show in high regard and rarely missed a segment. You consistently facilitate heated but civilized debates among some of the brightest and best qualified panelists/communicators one could find to represent a range of opinions on important issues. You normally do this will great skill and grace as well as good humor. I also love the “funnies”. However, today was a debacle – and a disappointment on many levels. Although Liz Cheney had been on before, today she stepped way over the line and ran roughshod over the entire Rountable segment. Her rudeness to you and the other panelists was amazing and prevented any intelligent debate. George, you could not even close your segment!!! It was not fun to watch and I learned nothing. Most of your other guests are highly accomplished and willing and able to paticipate in a civilized debate that allows me to learn and grow as a citizen. I tune in weekly to hear not only the black and white of conservative and liberal thought, but also the shades of gray and the reasons behind various positions. Liz’s overall credentials fall far below your usual standards. Just as important, her strident approach got in the way of any thoughtful discussion – and reduced your show to a shouting match. Liz used your show as a platform for a narrow set of ideas. She, not you George, was in charge. You have so many other well-qualified, even brilliant and civilized conservatives to invite to your Roundtable! Please don’t let my favorite show be undermined by someone like this. She can get a partisan show on a partisan channel.
A loyal viewer

I agree that Ms. Cheney’s tactics for debate involve too few fact and too much talking over others. Still, I think the real point is if she is the only person that you can find to support her father’s policies it is time to make that clearer to the viewer. Let’s have a show about ideas and she can go on another show featuring failed leaders children supporting their Dad’s policies. Are Stalin’s, Tito’s, Nixon’s and Carter’s children available.

Let’s send Liz Cheney to Iraq to find his dad’s MWD!!!

Earlier this year, Mr. Stephanopoulos, in response to your tweet announcing that Liz Cheney would be a part of the Roundtable (her first appearance I believe), I replied “Which of these Roundtable participants does not belong? Liz Cheney.” As a long-time, loyal viewer of your program and as somebody who very much enjoys an informed exchange of diverse viewpoints from qualified people, I tuned in anyway. I did the same today, even though you had again ‘warned’ me that she would be on the program with the issue of ‘enhanced interrogations’ as a primary topic.
My reaction then was the same as today: Liz Cheney does not belong on your program. I have not had this reaction to ANY of your other Roundtable participants and I have watched your entire program hundreds of times.
Ms. Cheney is not uninformed and not unintelligent. Ms. Cheney is a torture apologist. She is the daughter of a chief architect of the policy of ‘enhance interrogations’. She seems singularly focused on defending the policy and her father’s legacy. She appears to have strong political aspirations of her own. Referring to her a “Republican Strategist” is misleading if not disingenuous.
Liz Cheney monopolizes the dialog on the Roundtable. She jumps in with or without your cue, makes a point AND THEN continues on and on, acting as though any interruption is somehow a violation of her entitlement to continue to speak for the entire segment.
Please, no more invitations to Liz Cheney for the Roundtable. She wrecks the discussion and damages the credibility of the Roundtable.

George S. plz at least attempt to convey some neutrality. Your back was turned to Sam and Gwen as you faced George & Liz most of the time. Are you intimidated by George, or is it that you agree with his conservative views? You defer to him most often. What about your role as moderator? Plz don’t force me to refrain from being a loyal viewer in search of a balanced discussion of issues.

I should have spoken up the last time Liz Cheney was on the show. I’ve always liked your show because you do not let people talk over one another. But in the two times I’ve seen Liz Cheney on, you have not been able to control her in either instance. I don’t watch Chris Mathews because of people talking over one another. Please do not have Liz Cheney on again. She’s rude and irritating—and the fact that she’s the daughter of one of the most evil people in the country doesn’t help my attitude toward her.

I agree with the writer who said…
“…never, have that jabbering talking-points nightmare on the show again.”
I was exhausted just listening to her and highly annoyed at your sheer rudeness.
George: she took over your show !! Please let her go HOME to Fox…quietly !

Why do liberals feel the need to trash every female conservative who comes on the scene? Is it because, in light of the way they treated Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, they’ve lost the “Republicans hate women” argument?
All they have left is the “Republicans are racists” argument, and that is quickly losing its effectiveness.

The Round Table discussion is more polite when Ms Cheney does not interrupt and talk over others at the table. She belongs on Fox news if she insists on monopolizing the discussion with her father’s talking points. She failed completely to hear what others were trying to say. No one trusts the opinion of any one in the Bush/Cheney Administration when it comes to assessing the legality of torture or the quality of any information obtained from the victim. It is precisely because all prior investigations found nothing wrong that people who did not participate in the Bush/Cheney Administration need to look at what they did.

I want to ad my voice of dissapointment to ABC for having Liz Cheney on the round table. As soon as I saw her, I changed the channel,and will continue to do so in the future.

I look forward to the show each Sunday morning. I have not really enjoyed George Wills “I am the only person on earth that really understands” personality. But today took the cake–why would you even have Ms. Cheney on this show. It was like accidentally tuning into Fox. Are you forsaking intelligent in favor of sensationalized ratings for crazy people’s entertainment?

I believe the Shaksperian quote fits well in this case “Me thinks the Lady doth protest too much!!” Her father, the famous marksman, has blacked out so much of every report that it is hard to know anything that was said or quoted, but refers to it as if it is all there to be read. The bottom line is that some one defied and trampled the constitution and bill of rights as if they were outdated coupons. There reasons were no different than Batista, Idi Amin, Marcos and many other dictators and claim they were motivated for the good of the country.

i can abide arrogance. i can put up with ignorance. when they are combined in one person i cannot stand to listen to it. lyn cheney is arrogantly ignorant. she is loud, rude, and out of her depth with the normal level of quality on the show.
you can do better.

Liz Cheney was great. Sam Donaldson is a jerk

Our prohibition of torture is not simply a lofty feel good ideal. It is critical to the perpetuation of the principles of liberty in our country. We either abide by the Bill of Rights or we do not.

I agree. Why is Liz Cheney on this show? This is a conflict of interest.

Yes, the exchange between Donaldson and Cheney did become an annoying distraction, but let’s not throw people off the show for that. George has to take control of his show and then have a little chat back stage with both of them. So many who commented here want to throw Liz Cheney off the show and threaten to stop watching. If you truly want civil diaglogue, you have to be prepared to shut down any attempt to turn it into a shouting match. I found it just as frustrating when EJ Dionne began one of his comments with a dig about Republican hypocrisy on the Medicare. It is as if he wants to take advantage of an opportunity to throw in a little zinger because he knows George Will is not going to jump in and respond. What is the point of that kind of remark?

I watch your show every Sunday but pulease–do not include on your show panelists who speak over other people and who think that expressing a point of view over and over in a very loud voice somehow adds credibility to the original statement. Liz Cheney just isn’t up to the quality of your show and your usual fine array of stimulating guests. She is merely a rude child.

I think it is galling that the daughter of the man who is at the heart of this crime scene is repeatedly invited to comment on it as though she is an objective analyst.

Enough people are asking why Liz Cheney continues to appear on your show. Could you please offer up a reason? There have to be other, more qualified, conservatives you could have on. Please, do your viewers a favor and leave rude blustering people like Cheney to spew their bile somewhere else.

Both commentators, Liz Cheney and Sam Donaldson should *NOT* be invited back.
Both of them were trying to out-shout each other. And it’s just ridiculous.
I’m also disappointed at the host. He
was completely incapable of moderating. Whether the commentators are capable or not, everybody should abide by one simple rule of taking their turn as well as stay within a time limit. It’s just annoying to see two kids bickering by out-shouting each other!!! I can just listen to my own kids for that kind of entertainment!!

This was not a civil discussion. I watch This Week to hear reasonable people speak reasonably on different sides of the topic, not to hear them talk over one another. Or accuse the others of being uninformed. Liz
Cheney was unbearable to watch and listen to. I do not object to hearing different opinions. I do object to hearing one person drown out anyone who doesn’t agree with her. Or hold
forth without letting anyone else respond. Rein her in or invite a spokesperson who knows how to
behave. We saw enough of this at
the recent “town meetings”. It does not qualify as discussion, much less reasonable discussion.

Too many republicans. Where is the equal time for democrats?
I am not watching if it is just going to be a propaganda show for the gop.
If you want to be fox then go work for fox.

I have been a long time fan of This Week, but will not continue watching if Liz Cheney is invited back. The ability to engage in civil discourse seems to have disappeared with both Liz Cheney and Sam Donaldson. Hearing independent analysis from competent news people seems to be a thing of the past.

Been watching ‘This Week’ since David Brinkley and have liked it. However, George is not able to control his guests and Ms. Cheney is not the type of guest that we are used to seeing. Please, no more of her!! Too much competition on Sunday a.m. to let her loose–she won’t stop talking. Viewers like myself will switch to another channel.

Liz Chaney is unqualified to render a opinion on your show and I wath it religiously with MTP. You unually have a good show with Donna Brazile , the panel and now the mess of a guest is on the show a and is not very polite and rude. may I say also say is extremely bias. Get her off of there.

It seems Sam Donaldson interrupted Liz Cheney from completing her thought. Sam was by far the least polite. The Liberals seem to say they like there Republicans submissive like George Will. The Liberals aways filibuster and poor George Will gets to a minute to pronounce words only one percent of the population uses to talk to their fellow elite snobs. I hear Liberals say shut up Republicans. Why should anyone trust a Liberal that is unwilling to allow free speech. Liberals will then practice demonizing and disqualifying anyone but a Liberal community organizer of Chicago machine politics that pays off Liberal cronies.

Given the mountain of undisputed evidence of Cheney’s mendacity,obstruction of justice, and other likely criminal acts, why should man continue to be eligible for any federal pension? He doesn’t need it, doesn’t desrive it, and we can buy a bunch of major medical policies for the uninsured with the savings. Finally, doesn’t taking a pension from the federal government make you a socialist?

Why does ABC give Liz Cheney the public forum to distort the truth??? It’s ABSOLUTELY unbelieveable that ABC considers her a credible source of information!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

George, I truly enjoy your program every Sunday. Liz Chaney has no business on your weekly program, she belongs on Fox only. Its always a disapointment when the round table arrives and shes sitting along with the others. She is a carbon copy of her father, and the last eight years were certainly enought. Thanks

Liz Cheney has no place on this show. She is just defending her father and has no idea how to conduct a civil discussion. Your show — without her — is the best Sunday morning, but with her on the roundtable you can not compete.

Dizzy Liz is so biased that she has no credibility. She is exactly like her father, a mendacious, pompous ass. Her father tells her what to say. She and Sam D. read the same documents but came away with two different interpretatrion. Who does she think people are going to believe. Even conservative nutjob george will refused to back her up.

I can’t help but wonder how the discourse on an issue as important as torture and the prosecution of war crimes is elevated by the contributions of a member of the administration under scrutiny on a panel of journalists. Most viewers are certainly aware of, or may easily assertain, the political leanings of the editorialists and commentators regularly presented, but the inclusion of an individual so personally involved is intelectually irresponsible. I tune in to listen to viewpoints the move beyond mindless talking points, and a general disappointment with David Gregory’s show. This, though, was just saddening. And double jeopardy protection does not extend to mere investigations.

Why do they let Liz try to dominate discussions? George needs to take control but he never does.

Liz Cheney is just another conversation monopolizing interrupting loud typical blond republican propagandists of the ilk seen all over the talk show networks. She has memorized her points and drops them in ad nauseum. what she says is quite often not borne out by the facts, but merely part of the reports she bases them on. Her practice is similar to that typical on FOX and for the klife of me, I cannot figure out how ABC stopped so low as to inflict her weekly upon the public. She is the Monica Crowley of This Week.

I have no idea what makes Liz Cheney an expert on anything. And I’m tired of her taking all the oxygen out of the room with her diatribes. She’s a perfect example of how low news programs have gone. I love hearing both sides, but she doesn’t allow it. I turn the channel whenever she is on any program, too bad you can’t find better panelists. Try harder. Discourse yes, Liz Cheney, LOL.

That’s funny, Liz is the one that rude, yeah right. Sorry, I have been watching This Week since it first started and nobody and I mean NOBODY can even come close to being as rude as SAM DONALDSON!Sam is always rude and obnoxious, and 99% of the time he is dead wrong. If anyone needs to go it is Sam, although they could mount his wig on the wall as a trophy.

Typical libs – Behold the left’s idea of a “discussion” A Democrat acting as a “journalist” interviews a Democrat in piece which is written by a former Clinton administration official.
Everyone agrees with the DNC party line.
If a “news” organization has the temerity to put anyone on the show who disagrees with the party line – SHUT THEM UP. GET RID OF THEM!
You folks sound like our president on healthcare “reform” – Shut up!! Shut up!! Shut up!! Hurry up! Pass the bill, incomplete and unread.
BTW, show trials are a time-honored method of changing the subject when things aren’t going well for you politically.
Things aren’t going well for the messiah right now, are they?
So – let’s have show trials! It will keep his idiot anti-American base happy, and who gives a cr*p about national security anyway?
BTW, CIA spent a lot of time undermining the Bush Administration, so guys: what goes around, comes around. And remember CIA folks: All promises by Barack Obama come with an expiration date – ALL OF THEM. LOL!!
Remember also – Democrats play war with politics and play politics with war. They’ll spend more time, and effort on domestic “enemies” than those abroad, especially those from dictatorships which are hostile to democracy.
Dear Leader feels much more comfortable with the Hugo Chavez’s of the world than with having to deal with American democracy.
Horrible democracy allows people to criticize Dear Leader. And even though he can count on his friends in the media to cover for him, there’s this thing called the internet which is kind of out of control right now. Which brings us back to getting rid of dissent (Liz Cheney). Such a bully. Dems can’t take it.

I wonder why you bother with Liz Cheney at a roundtable discussion. She seems incapable of discussion and of debate. She is incredibly rude and bullying. She is not up to your standards nor up to to the standards and knowledge of the Roundtable. Again, why bother?

WLB is correct…. except for the typo…. what qualifications, exactly, does Liz Cheney bring to the roundtable, besides defending her father’s criminal existence? None.

I agree with many of the others who made the point that Liz Cheney is obnoxious because she doesn’t take her turn and won’t shut up. I was appalled at what I saw yesterday morning. If she continues to appear on “This Week,” I will not watch it anymore.

Why is everyone afraid of these bullies? Bring in Barney Frank to shut these people up. He’s the only Democrat I’ve seen lately who treats these people with the disrespect they deserve.

Where does Liz Cheney get any legitimacy at all. My Dad was a school administrator for years (and never shot anyone in the face) so when will you have me on to discuss education issues?

I agree with the others who say that they will not tune in if she is on again. She spouts her lies over others and is not qualified to be on a show of this caliber. Unacceptble ABC.

I was sitting there watching the show and could not understand anything that was said when she would get involved in the conservation…..Please do not have her on agian. I am tired of listening to here and her Father……

I was listening to a debate for public office that Ted Kennedy had when he first ran for congress. His challenger said “if your name were not Kennedy you would not even be considered for this office”……The same can be said for Liz Chaney.Under another name she would not have been invited to the show…….

ABC = The Obama Channel

Not only a mistake to have Liz Cheney on. George, as moderator you should be making them take turns/ allowing the bully to bully, talk over people and inhibit real discussion should be embarrassing to you. Your show was once the show to watch. Sad.

Not to beat a dead horse, but the minute I saw that Liz Cheney was going to be on this week, I turned the channel, just as I had done earlier when her father, which is THE ONLY reason she is invited to speak on any TV show, was scheduled to appear on FOX News Sunday. ENOUGH already. Why not just invite someone you meet on the street to be a guest, maybe someone with some REAL WORLD experience would be on instead of Liz Cheney, the Paris Hilton of politics.

I agree with all the above who found Liz Cheney unqualified for the program. If you have her on again, I will watch something else.

I can’t stand Liz Cheney and I will not watch if she is ever on again. She interrupted several of the panelists and recited canned positions. What credentials does the loud mouthed, misinformed woman have? Oh yah, Daddy got her a job at the Pentagon. Please if we are going to talk about the CIA let’s get someone who knows what they are talking about instead someone who obviously has an axe to grind. She kept repeating the same thing; that they had already investigated. Who investigated? Oh yah, the previous Republican adminsitration. There was a Geneva Convention for a reason – why does the Bush Administration’s mistreatment of prisoners supercede any other nation that claims to be defending the security of their nation? It doesn’t and only serves to diminish the US in the eyes of the rest of the world.

I was very upset with the appearance of Liz Cheney. Apparently her idea of persuasion is to see who can yell the loudest. I am delighted to see how many other listeners felt the same way. Saying that “the issue was decided by experienced” personnel over and over was pathetic. There are many times when mistakes are made and then experienced people make corrections. She should not be on the program. She really contributes very little.

What is Liz Cheney doing on television? Seriously, other than her clear devotion to her father, what else has she done that qualifies her to be talking about torture? Moreover, think of the thousands of CIA agents, national security specialists, foreign policy advisors, and, generally, qualified personnel who could speak on your program. Why would you ever give Liz Cheney a spot?

Why is Liz Cheney given any credibility? Just because her father was VP does NOT make her an expert on anything. I realize she had some midlevel govt position, courtesy of Daddy’s last name, but I do not see any other ‘deputy assistant secretaries’ given this kind of platform to speak.
I guarantee that anytime I see her on the screen, I will change the channel.

Oh come on people! Sam Donaldson was just as out of line as Liz Cheney was. A majority here just didn’t like what Liz had to ssy. Is getting rid of people we don’t agree with how we deal with things today?. In that case please do not have Katrina vanden Heuvel or Arianna Huffington on your show anymore. Send them over to MSNBC.

By the tone of the lefty outrage, sounds like Liz got under your skin! It must be painful to have your world view contradicted by a bright, articulate, conservative voice. Close your eyes, stick your fingers in your ears, and start babbling, and maybe the sound of conservatives defending themselves against your slander will just go away.

I also want to know why Liz Cheney is appearing on the news shows! She is NOT qualified; we have enough of Cheney’s to last us a life time. I am tired of her idiotic comments … she is not relevant and should be dropped from roundtable and all other news venues.

Comment to CMS, then why don’t you tell all of us “lefties” exactly what her qualifications are to appear on a serious national network news program to discuss either Senator Kennedy’s 47 years in the Senate or her fathers illegal actions. Everyone else on that panel has years of political or national media experience.

Unfortunately Donaldson tried the Obama version of derision. It didn’t work. She was spot on.

Liz Cheney? Really? Was Carrot Top busy? Frankly, he would be more credible.Please, no more air time to this “daddy defender”, this regular Fox Fool. I turned off the show for the first time in your history. George, you let her run all over you and your guests. The educated, American public does not want to hear her mouth again.

Oh my! The value of your program is the diverse perspectives your guests bring to the round table — leaving your viewers to decide where they stand now that they are better informed.
What ever happened to the concept of “disagree with out being disagreeable?” Perhaps Liz should think about Jerry Springer as a more appropriate platform for her style of communication. It seems the conservatives get more and more nasty as time goes by.
I didn’t envy your job last week George! I don’t see how you could have controlled her. Take her off your guest list — please. She won’t help your ratings! A loyal fan….

I am glad to see that all the comments posted here are anti Cheney. This tells me that the show and it’s viewers are one sided, unfair and seriously not balanced. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK OF REVEALING WHY FOX IS WINNING IN EVERY TIME SLOT.

The other panel members have earned some credability on your program. Liz Chaney has not…..

Having Liz Cheney on the show is like inviting the Fox’s daughter in to explain what daddy was doing in the hen house.

Liz Cheney’s views are fine, her conduct is not. I will not watch the show if I cannot hear what the opinions of all the panelists are.

George,
I’ve been thinking – if you absolutely MUST have Liz Cheney on again then you owe it to your audience to have someone like Glenn Greenwald on also to counter the lies and distortions promulgated by Ms. Cheney.
Though I respect Mr. Dionne and Ms. Ifill, it was apparent that they had no inclination, desire or opportunity to put Ms. Cheney in her place.
Somehow I think Mr. Greenwald would be far more effective with the necessary scorn, outrage and pertinent facts and figures at his fingertips to render Ms. Cheney apoplectic.

I enjoy the show but will have to give it up if it follows the Chris Matthews style of constant interruption and “overtalking” as demonstated by Liz Cheney. I like to be able to disagree with George Will (obviously I’m a liberal) but still admire his style and the fact that he can express his opinions without denigrating those who disagree. A talent not shared by the former Vice (that’s the word) President’s daughter.

I value the differing opinions usually expressed at round-tables. I can wade through the hyperbole and determine for myself who has the most credibility. I will not watch this program if control is lost and multiple people speak (or screech) at the same time.
Liz Cheney’s tactics are the same as most republican pundits; loudly and rudely obfuscate facts in a relentless and futile (in the long run) effort to revise history in order to win over center thinking and independent people.
The investigations into the CIA probably will lead to further investigations into acts of the prior adminstration, including the former Vice-President. They know this and are trying to stamp out this flame before it becomes a raging inferno and consumes those who made the policies and gave the orders (even if they just looked the other way).
