Ms. Cheney was introduced by the great and gracious Mary Matalin this evening at the Southern Republican Leader Conference in New Orleans:
Liz Cheney speaking now, live streaming, here.
She’s talking forcefully about what she calls the three prongs of the Obama Foreign Policy: Apologize, abandon and appease. This woman is fierce.
An early look at her speech, here.
Breaking? Cheney announces that Bibi Netanyahu will not be attending Obama’s nuke summit next week.
Zinger: “This administration is confused about who the enemy is!”
Message to Eric Holder: “The CIA officers who interrogated terrorists to keep us safe after 9/11 are not criminals – they’re American patriots. They deserved to be thanked and honored for protecting this nation”.
Paraphrasing Krauthammer:”The Obama administration is putting us in a path to decline.”
The Obama administration is used to deference – from their followers, and the media (sometimes those two things are the same thing).
JC Watts is up now. Something tells me he’s had a change of heart since his flirtation with Obamunism in 2008.
daveweigel on Twitter: J.C. Watts’s speech is notably free of Obama-bashing — all positivity about the GOP agenda.
Roger that!
JC Watts: We don’t need more taxes. We need more taxpayers. ..The problem isn’t we tax too much. It’s that we spend too much.
Newt up: “When you’re speaking from the heart – you don’t need a teleprompter”. (wild applause)…
He says he began to realize after watching Obama for a year, that what we have in the Obama administration is a combination of the corruption of Springfield, IL, and the radicalism of Alinsky.
“The more Obama talks, the less people believe him”…
“Stage one of the end of Obamunism after winning this Fall is to refuse to fund his initiatives….” (wild applause)…
After 2012, “We will repeal every. radical. bill. passed by this congress”. (wild applause).
We need to make plain to the American people that this is not an average fight between two groups of people who share the same goals and values…we have to make this a choice about the nature of America. He says we’re up against a “Secular Socialist Machine”.
Also liveblogging SRLC, RS McCain.

She needs to run for Senate first…if I had had a chance to meet her, I would have encouraged her to run.

Hey deb, Is Andrew Breitbart still there? I imagine you’ll all be packing up today but if you see Andrew, could you do me a favor? First off, find someone with a camcorder. Then show Andrew my blog about him. If you can record his reaction, I swear I will pay for that! haha
But please tell him that all is fair game on the blogosphere. I really admire him. I wish I could be just like him.

To Rosehips… yawn. Self-promotion of one’s own pitiful blog is like putting on a fluffy prom dress and thinking yourself a beautiful princess, thus twirling and twirling and twirling for all to look at you, yet curses! — you’re still that warty, swamp-smelling frog. Breitbart has surpassed you in journalistic style, integrity, and relevance, so stop your transparent jealously and sophomoric showboating with these amateurish id-monster antics. You’re embarrassing yourself (but you won’t believe anyone on this since *ahem* you have that frog thing going).

It was not cheetos …it was cajun potato chips, Patty Ann.
Rosehips, the last time I saw Breitbart was at the Hilton Lounge having drinks Saturday night, when I was on my way out to the gala ball. Sorry, you’re name didn’t come up when we did meet.
