Liz Cheney needs to go away

I never understood why anyone thought we need to know what Liz Cheney's opinion is on anything but, ever since Dad left the White House, she's seems to be ubizuitous.

She shows up again and again on news shows and all because of her last name.

Today, she outdid herself.

Ms. Cheney was on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" on ABC and she not only put out here obnoxious opinions, which would be bad enough, but now she's introduced right-wing, shout-down-the-opposition, Bill O'Reilly-type tactics to this show which, up to now, was always calm, lucid and intelligent.

If you saw it, you saw Mr. Stephanopoulos totally lose control of his show, thanks to Ms. Cheney, and not just once but a few times.

It got so bad that, at the end of the show, Liz was still droning on with her views, talking over everyone si Gwen Ifill even tried to help give back the show and control to its host.

Liz Cheney should be asked to never return to this show unless or until she can discuss issues the old way--calmly, respectfully and like an adult.

If she's capapble of that.

At least the corporations are getting their money's worth.

Do we really realize how big a change this is?

Just now, I'm sitting here, watching "The News Hour with Jim Lehr" on our local PBS channel, KCPT and Gwen Ifill is shown interviewing the top law enforcement chief and Attorney General Eric Holder at the National Press Club and it hit me immediately.

Here was an African-American female reporter of some skills, notoriety and import, interviewing another African-American of some incredible power in this Presidcent's administration, and he also, of course, happens to be African-American.

To an extent, we take this all for granted but we really shouldn't--we really can't.

It is a huge, watershed movement in our country and our country's history and we need to recognize the importance of all this change and advancement.

At the same time, there were two articles in The New York Times today, pointing out how far we still have to go, too. Here were the Headlines:

"The Supreme Court's Hostility to the Voting Rights Act" and

"Homeownership-Losses Are Greatest Among Minorities, Report Finds"

As always, as Stevie Wonder said, "Them that has, gets."

And them that doesn't have, gets screwed.
