Yesterday, I mentioned Obama’s trip to Dover to pay his respects to the dead whose caskets were coming back that day.
I figured that at some point, some prominent Republican would try to cast it ad evil and sinister, and out of the gate comes Liz Cheney, on the John Gibson Show:
“I think that what President Bush used to do is do it without the cameras. And I don’t understand sort of showing up with the White House Press Pool with photographers and asking family members if you can take pictures. That’s really hard for me to get my head around…It was a surprising way for the president to choose to do this.”
Only, neither George W. Bush or…You know….Her Father ever went to pay their respects to the dead.
In fact, they were they supporessed any and all photographs, whether the family assented or not.
