Rush was all praises for Liz Cheyney today:

RUSH: We love Liz Cheney on this program, the way she handles herself on television. She was on with Bob Schieffer yesterday on Slay the Nation, and they were discussing the Republican primary. And Schieffer says, "Okay, so what do you think of what's going on out there, Liz?"

CHENEY: I find this all pretty frustrating. This country faces huge, huge challenges -- and, frankly, watching a morning show like this one where first we're talking about Herman Cain allegations and then we're showing a YouTube mash-up of --

SCHIEFFER: We're covering the campaign, Liz!

CHENEY: Well, the issues are what matters, Bob, and with all due respect, you know, the American people are out there afraid. They're afraid that the economy is going off a cliff. They're afraid that this president wants higher taxes and more spending and bigger government.

RUSH: And then Schieffer said...

SCHIEFFER: Well, I mean I take your point, but I would also make the point that we, in the media, it is not our job to make the campaign. That is up to the candidates. The candidates determine what the campaign is gonna be about --CHENEY: But you guys choose what you're gonna cover, Bob.
