Boy, Liz Cheney is not taking her break-up with the Republican Leadership at all well. In fact, she’s beginning to act like Glenn Close from Fatal Attraction.
Funny thing is, I said the same thing about Hillary Clinton after the 2016 election. Hillary, like Glenn Close, was acting like a chick that won’t let go.
Now Liz is giving Hillary quite a run for her money.
Fact is, the propagandists in the corporate media are more than happy to give an outsized platform to the bitter Glenn Close of the Republican caucus. Amplifying the so-called “schism” in the Republican Party suits their purposes. They certainly don’t care if Glenn Close Cheney is destroying her own political career in this scorched earth vendetta. She is a Republican after all.
Plus, the Democrats and their media handmaids are using the RussiaGate playbook on the events of January 6. And Glenn Close Cheney is more than happy to do her part to advance the nonsensical narrative that a crowd of angry demonstrators milling about the Capitol snapping selfies was the biggest threat “on our democracy” since the Civil War.
So day after day these propagandists bring Cheney on for interview after interview after interview where she spews resentment and bile like a bitter Vesuvius.
At this point, I’m thinking Kevin McCarthy may get home to Frank Luntz’s apartment only to discover Glenn Close Cheney kidnapped Frank and made him ride the roller coaster for hours.
Or worse, how long before Kevin McCarthy comes home to find Frank boiling in a pot of water on the stove?
[Okay, I won’t do a photoshop of that particular image.]
Cheney’s scorched earth, wronged woman performance over the last week only confirms that the Republican House leadership is good to be rid of her.
Unfortunately for Cheney, she isn’t damaging the reputation of the House Republicans; she’s only damaging her own.
