Just take a look:



For those who can't hear, this is the main gist of it:

The ad airs footage of Olbermann, Matthews, and Ed Schultz mocking the recent announcement of her group, and concludes: “Why don’t they want to talk substance? Why are they panicked? Why don’t they want to debate the issues?”

What makes this even more funny is this fact: Cheney never mentions that Rachel Maddow is scared to debate her. Even more utter hilarity is the other fact that Maddow and her producers have asked Cheney to appear on their show.

But, there has been nothing but silence from her and her fan club on doing that interview. Surprise!

Steve Benen adds his usual great two cents:

To borrow a phrase, why doesn't Liz Cheney want to talk substance? Why doesn't she want to debate the issues?

Because she is intimidated and frighted at being interviewed by the nicest, smartest person arguably in all of American news television.

I guess being smart and nice is intimidating nowadays. Especially to the Cheney family.

All jokes aside, though I clearly think Olbermann and Schultz AND EVEN Matthews on his day can make her "puppet" self feel exposed and embarrassed on national television (and basically anyone with the facts can), it is obviously clear to everyone that she is frightened that a women will put her in her place without the cry of "male chauvinism" raining down from the right-wing nutcase circles to save her, her fan club, and her diabolical daddy.

Who knew one of the most benevolent figures you could ever meet in Rachel Maddow would be so scary? Who knew?
