On Fox News Sunday, Liz Cheney, the daughter of Dick, said, "Whatever Republican takes the mantle in 2012 he will have to face these incredible challenges we're facing, and they'll have to undo the damage this president has done."

WTF? It has been absolutely amazing to listen all weekend to the right cowering in their caves and refusing to come out and admit that justice and the rule of law are moral and national goods, all the while decrying the US Military for being a cesspit of political correctness that let terrorists inflitrate and commit horrors. And now Ms. Cheney comes out and says that, because our national standing in the world has gone up Obama is "doing damage?"

Yo, Liz, read this for "damage:"

Rebuilding Its Economy, Iraq Shuns U.S. Businesses (NYT):
American companies are not seeing much lasting benefit from their country's investment in Iraq. Some American businesses have calculated that the high security costs and fear of violence make Iraq a business no-go area. Even those who are interested and want to come are hampered by American companies' reputation here for overcharging and shoddy workmanship, an outgrowth of the first years of the occupation, and a lasting and widespread anti-Americanism.
Her father can't even do war profiteering correctly. That's what we get for KBR poisoning our own troops with poorly refrigerated food and even killing some of them with electrified showers.

Repeat the frame enough and it becomes stuck in the discourse.

Soon some Democrat will talk about "the damage Obama's not doing", and a Republican will smile because the frame is still being repeated.

Liz is on PLANET CHENEY. It's a lot like the square Bizzarro world, but scarier.
