I read somewhere that Lynne Cheney is the brains behind the

[Veggie Meathead]

Cheney household of horror.I think this may be a correct assessment.
There are many instances from her days as a hostess on Crossfire when she browbeat many guests that I remember clearly.In a very revealing instance, she appeared on This Week one sunday when Cokie Roberts made the mistake of asking her about her lesbian daughter.The knifelike stare she got for even daring to ask that question sent Cokie cringing and begging forgiveness from the venomous shrew.

From a literary standpoint, Lynne Cheney, with her arrogance and hunger for power would be an ideal Lady Macbeth. After Cheney's Fruitless search for WMD's in Iraq came to a halt she more than likely quoted Shakespeare ( as an English Literature Major):

"What need we fear who knows it when no one can call our power to account"?

1. lynne cheney

Is she the brains while she is on her broomstick, or off of it?

2. anybody who's read excerpts from her bodice ripper

knows that if she's the brains, that household is in big trouble. That novel displayed tortured prose, spare imagery, and a maximum of preaching. It's obvious why she's wanted to keep it buried since it came out in 1981.

3. Boy, that is a new one! Now you have put me in trouble.Should I

buy that to see where the venomous shrew gets her bile or not provide her with any financial inducements.

4. Are you referring to that paean to lesbian love in the Wild West

that Randi Rhodes loves to read from on her radio show?
It is a laff riot!

5. That's why her current books are simplistic books for children

"A Is For America". She doesn't need to worry about little things like prose in such books. I almost bought my brother's kids the book as a joke, but then figured it would only piss him off. I also don't want to spend my money on such garbage.

6. Brains?

Somehow I always pictured her in a black leather catsuit and a hood wielding a whip down in that bunker Cheney has built under their house.

7. She tried to destroy the teaching of history in the US

She said that history should concentrate on the great men of America, white guys of course. Also, it should basically be rote memorization because "our kids don't know the stuff their supposed to know." I teach history and lecturing to fifteen year olds about the importance of Nathan Hale would be as beneficial to them and the country as GWB's presidency.
