Dick Cheney for president in 2012? His daughter Liz floated the idea on Fox News Sunday this morning — though it’s not clear that she was being serious.

Liz Cheney was a panelist on Fox News Sunday today. Near the end of the show, Chris Wallace showed video of President Obama slightly bowing to the emperor of Japan, and said the “internet is abuzz” over what Wallace referred to as “bowgate.”

“By way of comparison, when Vice President Cheney met the emperor in 2007, no bow,” Wallace said over video of Cheney greeting the Japanese emperor.

Bill Kristol, laughing, said that “Sarah Palin would never bow to the emperor of Japan. She wouldn’t even curtsy to him.”

Then Liz Cheney jumped in.

You could also look at the comparison and think, Cheney 2012.

Wallace and the panelists immediately all started talking over one another. Liz Cheney followed up with “That’s all I’m gonna say” and “that’s all.”

We’ll have video for you shortly.

Late Update: Here’s the video.
