Dowd: ‘The Cheneys Have Done Enough Damage To This Country’

And they should “exit, stage right,” says the New York Times columnist.

…it’s painful to watch the Cheney clan tear itself apart over politics — one of three titanically screwed up political sibling relationships playing out now…

The spectacle of Liz, Dick and Lynne Cheney bullying Mike Enzi, known in Congress as a real gentleman, is topped only by the spectacle of Liz, Dick and Lynne throwing Mary Cheney and her wife, Heather Poe, and their two children under the campaign bus.

Dick Cheney is given a lot of credit for saying during the 2004 campaign that states should define marriage and that “freedom means freedom for everyone.” But he said it — and Mary kept working on the campaign — while his party’s key strategy for keeping the White House was demonizing gays by drumming up state constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage in 11 states, a way to lure conservatives to the polls.

Dick’s Secret Service code name was once “Backseat.” Liz’s should be “Backstab.”
