Okay, I’m real torn on this.

First there’s the sheer terror of Liz Cheney, Dick’s clone child, being a United States Senator.

Ms. Cheney, 46, is showing up everywhere in the state, from chicken dinners to cattle growers’ meetings, sometimes with her parents in tow. She has made it clear that she wants to run for the Senate seat now held by Michael B. Enzi, a soft-spoken Republican and onetime fly-fishing partner of her father.

When I first heard that, I almost strangled on my heart. Seriously.

But, there’s an upside.

But Ms. Cheney’s move threatens to start a civil war within the state’s Republican establishment, despite the reverence many hold for her family.

Mr. Enzi, 69, says he is not ready to retire, and many Republicans say he has done nothing to deserve being turned out.

It would bring about “the destruction of the Republican Party of Wyoming if she decides to run and he runs, too,” Alan K. Simpson, a former Republican senator from the state, said in an interview last week. “It’s a disaster — a divisive, ugly situation — and all it does is open the door for the Democrats for 20 years.”

Now I know that giving us Democrats for 20 years doesn’t come anywhere close to getting even for what Dick Cheney did to this country, but it might be fun to see Liz both destroy the Republican Party and lose.

I’d pay cash American money to see that.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
