Two For The Road

Apparently the Village believes that the political discourse is best expressed by President McCain...

Since the president took office, McCain has been on "Meet the Press" twice (July 12 and March 29), "Face the Nation" three times (August 30, April 26, and February 8), "This Week" three times (September 27, August 23, and May 10), and "Fox News Sunday" three times (July 2, March 8, and January 25). His appearance on "State of the Union" today will be his third visit since February (October 11, August 2, and February 15).

Not bad for a senator in the minority, who isn't in the party leadership, who has no role in any important negotiations, and who has offered no significant pieces of legislation.

...and Secretary of State Liz Cheney.

Liz Cheney made something of a splash in her debut as a Fox News panelist yesterday. After being introduced on Fox News Sunday by Chris Wallace as a "former State Department official, daughter of the former vice president, and first-time panelist," Cheney had an, um, interesting take on President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize.

"The president himself understands he didn't earn this prize," Cheney said. "And I think, therefore, the notion that, as the White House has said, he would go to Oslo to accept the prize would just sort of add to the farce."

To recap, the guy that lost the election has been on the Sunday shows more than a dozen times in nine months, and being the daughter of the former VP is enough to qualify you for expert TV pundit status.

The Village seems to think you desperately want to hear what these two have to say about America's political discourse. Exactly why I have no clue, but they think you want to anyway.
