C'mon, Hugh.
This story by Lynne Cheney is so "Yesterday". A marriage which has lasted a "grinding" 40 years. No affairs. No adultery. No intrigue whatsoever.
Let's get back to those updated stories of matrimonius mutation, mayhem, and madness. You know, the Clinton's, the Giuliani's, Governor James McGreevey, Senator Ted Kennedy, etc.
Yeah, this attempt to sell this passe marriage model in these times is tired (tongue firmly planted in cheek). |

For a good time google "lynne cheney sisters" to see "Sisters", a book written by Mrs Cheney that I bet you fifty cents she will not be discussing on television. After Dick became VP this ancient potboiler re lesbianism on the American frontier (I am not making this up) became an item of interest so our Lynne put the kibosh on further printings. However, some enterprising soul found a copy and put the entire text on whitehouse.org. Hot-hot-hot. |

First of all, I really like Lynne Cheney. The public Lynne Cheney is all I ever see, but she seems a real smart, quite normal grandmother and wife who has had an extraordinary life. She was apparently born to run, to quote one of my least favorite rockers. Otherwise, how could she have accomplished so much?
Hers was the kind of West I was looking for when I moved to Phoenix in 1968, but by then it was gone in all but the small towns and I didn't think I could support myself in smalltown Arizona.
Jeffrey Toobin is a different item entirely. He is too slick by half. From what I can gather on your show, Hugh, and Laura's (where she poleaxed him for his unflattering words about Justice Thomas, who is Laura's #1 justice), Toobin wrote a pretty dishy book.
That is the kind of book that ends up burning sources, wouldn't you say? With what he had to say about Souter, Kennedy and Breyer, he had to have disclosed details that were known to only a few whose identities probably were not hard to figure out. Try to bag a big legal job in DC when a Justice knows you've talked out of school about him. |

She did well. She smartly took control of Jon Stewart and basically wrapped him around her finger. Stewart asked her about the Administration's position on the proposed Marriage Amendment (which would ban gay marriage), but Lynne gave an answer that would probably please even Andrew Sullivan. Somehow I doubt Hugh went there in his interview. |
