Why Is Liz Cheney Analyzing Her Father On TV?

As Dick Cheney is launching his attacks on President Obama, why is his hack of a daughter Liz Cheney allowed so much TV time to help sell her dad's failed torture policies? Her bona fides are? Her expertise is? Her objective point of view?

Liz Cheney has been on the networks 12 times in the past 9 days:

* On the May 22 edition of ABC's "Good Morning America"
* On the May 22 edition of MSNBC's "Morning Joe"
* On the May 22 edition of CNN's "American Morning"
* On the May 21 edition of CNN's "AC360"
* On the May 21 edition of Fox News' "Hannity"
* On the May 21 edition of "MSNBC News Live"
* On the May 20 edition of Fox News' "Your World"
* On the May 17 edition of ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos"
* On the May 16 edition of Fox News' "Fox & Friends Saturday"
* On the May 15 edition of Fox News' "On the Record"
* On the May 12 edition of Fox News' "Live Desk"
* On the May 12 edition of MSNBC's "Morning Joe"

So says the Washington Monthly:

"There's no modern precedent for such a ridiculous arrangement. Dick Cheney launches a crusade against the White House, and major outlets look for analysis from Cheney's daughter? Who everyone already realizes agrees with everything he says about torture?"

Liz Cheney was brought on to offer analysis of her own father's speech, and parrot her dad's criticism of the president. [What a surprise -- she found her dad's argument very persuasive].
