The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up - He's baaack!
Former Vice President Dick Cheney is back out there, publicly defending Bush
torture policies, criticizing the Obama administration and telling the
Republican party "it would be a mistake for us to moderate." So, what to make
of the former VP's post-administration publicity tour? Mother Jones' David Corn
and the New York Daily News' Tom DeFrank will weigh in.

Next up - if Dick Cheney isn't the guiding voice of the G.O.P., then perhaps
Republicans should look a little further back in history to the likes of
William F. Buckley, the father of the modern Conservative movement. His son,
Christopher Buckley will be here tonight to talk about his parents and discuss
his new book, "Losing Mum and Pup."
