From the May 22 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' Rush Limbaugh Show:

LIMBAUGH: What Liz Cheney is pointing out -- "Look, Obama can settle this argument. Obama can settle it by releasing the memos my dad says he saw. And if those memos don't say what my dad says he saw, then guess what? My dad's going to be perceived as wrong. But if those memos do say what my dad says, then Obama's going to be the one that's misrepresented." But Donny, don't argue with me; just have Obama release the memos. The truth is there. It's the White House that's preventing us from knowing it.

Now, she's got guts and courage here. I've -- she's -- I was her dinner partner one night out in Wyoming at a dinner. It was a social thing; it wasn't a political thing. But as you can expect, political things ended up being discussed, and she was on fire. I mean, this woman is committed. She is informed. She is -- she's a warrior, a warriorette on this stuff, and it's great that she's out doing this now.

Somebody made the point today -- I forget who -- but we've had all of these presidential children and the sons of presidents, you know, a dime a dozen. They've come and gone, daughters and so forth, and they've always held out potential. But Liz Cheney happens to be the most worthwhile in terms of a political asset to her father: vocal, intelligent, and effective. And it -- this is so breathtaking to watch because it is a seminar on how any Republican appearing on any of these shows with any of these bumblehead liberals can handle them.

      I have to wonder... does Rush have the same admiration for Meghan McCain as he does for Troglodette Cheney?

      Somehow, the image of Rush Gushing over anything is too disgusting to contemplate.

        I don't recognize any viable real threat to Mz.C. What risk is she taking for what possible consequences. She'll be forced to marry a gay person because of her public statements? "Salmon cutains!"

        Agreed. The only thing I saw was an arrogant liar, with a famous last name.

      What is funny that the Democrat party is supposed to be the one of tolerance but this board is filled with the most hate-filled diatribes anywhere on the NET.
      Making fun of someone’s sexual preference or what they look like. I thought us Republicans were supposed to be the mean evil ones. Geez.

      Cheney wants the memos showing that torture works released. Obama's campaign promise was to release the torture memos. Why didn't the Bush administration release the memos while they were still in power and had control of them, if they thought these memos existed and could prove anything? Was it because they were still operating in super secret mode, and it just never occurred to them how transparent government might be a good thing, or had Cheney simply forgotten the combination to his man safe?

      If torture worked so well, why did they (largely) abandon the practice in 2005? Why did President Bush claim that "we don't torture?" I also wonder why he said, "we are a nation of laws, and wiretaps require a warrant. Nothing has changed." Months after secretly abolishing the FISA court.

      Liz Cheney, another example of nepotism's dark side. Please leave your mush-brained children in obscurity, where they belong, Dick. Once upon a time, one had to be a person with some demonstrable inkling of intellect to garner media attention. Now, it's all based on your genealogy. How are we, as a people and a species, going to evolve if we continue to pay the most attention to those who say the least and have the least to say?
