Fox must be desperate to hire this nose-into-everything know nothing. Liz Cheney is riding on her father’s coattails and needs to let go, in my opinion.
Know nothing? I’m always impressed with how quickly looselugnut libruls can summon the hubris to presume that they are capable judging what someone like Liz Cheney knows or whether she has achieved her credentials honestly.
Let’s see. She’s a graduate of the University of Chicago Law School, one of the finest and most difficult academic institutions to get into and earn a degree. She practiced at White and Case in international law. She was an Assistant Deputy Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs. She’s a mother of 5 kids and a founder of an influential policy group
And she’s still in her 40′s
What in the world have you done in your life that comes even remotely close….and, no, growing cannabis in your mom’s garage doesn’t count.
Not as desperate as NBC. While I agree that this does whiff a bit of nepotism, it is nowhere near the stink coming from Chelsea Clinton’s dressing room. At least Liz has experience and a proven record of leading panels and conducting interviews. Her debut on 30 Rock reminded me of when the local News used to bring in random students from area middle schools to cohost the weather segment once a month.
FOX desperate? Those guys are geniuses, do you realize what a big get this is? The daughter of the vice president, whatever she says she is going to bring ratings and attention to the channel.
Yes, I’m sure Fox is “desperate” given their ratings. Really desperate, lol.
She’s a decent analyst but I don’t see why they’d put her as a substitute host. She’s been awful in that role in the past.
I’ve always been very impressed with Liz Cheney when she’s been on. Fox just scored another big win IMO. Decisions like this one are one of the reasons they’re doing so well in the ratings.
While it is terrific that Liz Cheney graduated from the University of Chicago Law School and practiced law, there are thousands of people who fit the same profile. None of them were given this shot.
If you think Liz Cheney got this gig based on merit, then you are either too dumb to be able to grow cannabis in your mom’s basement or you have been smoking too much of Thom’s cannabis.
BTW, Krumhorn, is Liz a good boss?
