Vice President Richard B. Cheney's daughter is not going to be a human shield in Baghdad.

"Neither daughter even has plans to travel to that region, let alone Iraq," a Cheney spokesman told United Press International.

Echo of Russia Radio Saturday cited unofficial sources when reporting Mr. Cheney's daughter, Elizabeth, had stopped in Amman, Jordan, en route to "war-torn Baghdad."

Just look at all those retractions pouring in. uh huh.

[alloysteel]

And the original story, that either one or both Cheney daughters were going to Iraq to become human shields, came from what source? A complete fabrication, created to show that Dick and Lynne Cheney had failed as parents at a very basic level.

It would have been as if the daughter of the venomous viper of a spouse to the "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001" had joined the US Marine Corps and been assigned to mine-clearing duty with the landing force in the harbor at Umm Qasr.

We all know that happened.

There does appear to be some tentative cheney bashing going on. Feelers for election year 'Rats, perhaps? Lord knows they can't win on anything substantive.

[Claire Voyant]

This is a hit peice from Washington Times it seems. Or is it tongue in cheek?

[veronica]

Lots of absurd rumors like this one and various other anti-America wingnuttia disinfo is being swallowed whole by crazies on the "alternative" internut websites. Many loonies out there...

There were reports out of Russian papers that one or both of the Cheney daughters were heading to Iraq to be shields. They were ridiculous, especially considering that these are the same sources who have reported that the U.S. was being driven out of Afghanistan and are reporting the same sort of thing from Iraq now, but they made the rounds and were believed in certain corners.

In particular, believed by some freepers.

While this story is false it is true that the Cheney's have failed as parents for one of their children. I seem to remember that one daughter is trapped in a homosexual lifestyle. (Please correct me if I have the wrong family).

(Of course the liberal media will never accuse the Cheney's for that)

While I have great respect for Vice President Cheney as a politician and statesman, his parenting leaves much to be desired.

Well, one of his daughters is a lesbian. But either the "homosexual lifestyle" has expanded to encompass working for the Bush-Cheney campaign, as she did back in 2000, or she isn't trapped in said "lifestyle."

[John O]

If she self proclaims to be a lesbian then she is trapped in that lifestyle. She has given up all she could be for a few moments of perverse sex. Its too sad.

I expect to encounter periodic patches of ignorance on this (or any) forum. Seldom am I treated to a vast canyon, dark and vacuous of pompous, pathetic stupidity.

LOL - "a few moments"?

[John O]

john o->one daughter is trapped in a homosexual lifestyle.

phil V.->I expect to encounter periodic patches of ignorance on this (or any) forum. Seldom am I treated to a vast canyon, dark and vacuous of pompous, pathetic stupidity.

So she's not trapped? She can leave at any time and live a normal healthy life? Why then does she choose to practice perversion instead of living a healthy life? Poor parenting perhaps?

(BTW, it's bad form to resort to ad hominem before addressing the topic of discussion. Learn better discussion skills and you'll get better results.)

[John O]

ok. "a few moments" repeatedly. She still trades a normal healthy life for just sex.
