BushWomen - The Women of the Bush Administration
BushWomen - The Women of the Bush Administration

Part II of our discussion with radio host Laura Flanders about her new book "Bushwomen: Tales of a Cynical Species" which tells the story of the women of President Bush's inner circle: Condoleezza Rice, Elaine Chao, Christine Todd Whitman, Ann Veneman, Gale Ann Norton and Karen Hughes as well as Lynne Cheney and her lesbian romance novel.
(snip)

Secretary of the Interior, Gale Ann Norton, once fought to legalize marijuana and for equal rights of homosexuals.

(snip)

- In 1981, Lynne Cheney, the Vice-President's wife, published a steamy novel celebrating free love and lesbian romance. It's called "Sisters."

(snip)

The government's top workplace safety regulator Elaine Chao is married to a top mining-company campaign finance receiver - Kentucky Senator Mictch McConnell. Any conflict of interest?

(snip)
- Karen Hughes, still one of the President's closest advisors, says she would have loved to do public relations for the Exxon after the Exxon-Valdez oil spill. Her father was the last U.S. Governor of the Panama Canal Zone.

1. interesting. I had no idea about the Lynne Cheney book.

Having to sleep near Dick Cheney for decades probably explains it.

I wonder if librarians stock it next to her "Patriotic Primer."

3. At least Christine
Todd Whitman quit in midstream although she chickened out with the more time for my family excuse.
