Former Vice President Dick Cheney chose not to run for president in 2008 but his daughter suggested that he might be a good candidate in 2012. Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Liz Cheney dropped the former vice president's name as the panel was discussing President Barack Obama's decision to respect the Japanese Emperor by bowing during a formal greeting.
Fox News felt compelled to cover Obama bow to Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko after conservative blogs attacked the president. "Sarah Palin would not have bowed to the Emperor of Japan. She wouldn't have even curtsied to him," said Bill Kristol.
But for Liz Cheney, Palin wasn't the only answer to replacing a president that would dare to pay respect to a foreign leader. "You can look at the comparison and think Cheney 2012," teased Cheney. It wasn't clear if Dick Cheney's daughter was joking but the Fox panel seemed warm to the idea.
"That's all I'm going to say," she said.
Kristol, who has long been an advocate for Sarah Palin, had an even better idea. "Cheney/Palin," he suggested.
"Or Palin/Cheney. Don't be sexist," replied Chris Wallace.

Liz isn’t a lesbian, her sister is, she’s not.
No thanks. Cheney = yesterday. No one with the Bush taint should be considered.
And he’s not happy about it,just like the rest of us.
Who is being snot nosed? I guess Jean Kirkpatrick and George Shultz and Ike too were all one worlders, eh?
No thanks. I’ve had the big picture down for a very long time.
What’s YOUR problem, Mr. Perfect? Dick Cheney seriously needs the majority of the GENERAL PUBLIC’s VOTE to win anything, and I really don’t see that happening with too many voters being too blind to what’s really presently happening to this country with the present political bunch. The GOP needs to stop picking old men as their final choice for POTUS!
