Lynne Cheney Helps Soften Husband's Image

Thu Sep 23, 6:26 AM ET

By LAURA MECKLER, Associated Press Writer

SHEBOYGAN FALLS, Wis. - Lynne Cheney smiles, nods and applauds. Sitting on a stool beside her husband, she shows none of the fire that made her a leading conservative in her own right. She is the adoring wife, the woman who knew Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) when he was a teenager sweeping out the Ben Franklin store.

Mrs. Cheney, campaigning across the country for another four years as second lady, is downright warm. And she helps the vice president look a little warmer too.

"I get to introduce Dick because I've known him for so long," she says at nearly every campaign stop. "I have known Dick Cheney since he was 14 years old."

As Paul Begala says, "Don't pee on my boots and tell me it's raining."

3. I agree with Begala. She's putting on a decent show, but it's not her!
Believe me, I've seen this devil doing speeches of her own! She's not warm, nice, kind, OR the adoring respectful wife!!!

4. I can't watch.
Are she and Dick still suddenly remembering they have a gay daughter?

6. It takes a nicer, gentler woman to soften a man's image.

Lynn and Dick Cheney are two of a kind.

Edit: Hey, we've all got the two-faced Bush* avatar again! Bizarre!

7. What makes these idiots think
that a bunch of "adoring" Stepford wives from the 1950s will attract the women's vote? Such tactics will only get the votes of other Stepford wives, who would probably have voted for Bush anyway. No self-respecting, independent, single woman will be impressed by the "adoring wife" act.

13. Lynn Cheney is no Stepford Wife
she's a creepy rightwing PhD like Condi. Except I think she's a literature Phd. And she writes scary books, too.

12. That's what SHE says! The best thing is that she's the biggest liberal
around now! Hosted a huge Dem fundraiser last year.

9. Not so much.
Maybe like a pretty pink bow around the neck of a rabid wolverine.

23. Why doesn't Cheney just give a speech topless, if he wants a softer image?
He could show America the Manzier that is holding those he-man knockers in place.

25. Cheney's Titties Would Be Amazing to See.
He is never photographed without his SHOULDER PADS / Suits.

A skeleton of a man with no shoulders or chest, but the biggest of titties ever seen on a man.

26. The new DICK
I just got a pic of him after his new make over.
Just got his hair done Laura style. You know how jealous he is of Edward's hair.

27. Hey I've seen those "48 Hours Mysteries"
And you are married to the guy your whole life, and then whamo!, hammers to your head, and mistresses in the closet, gay porn everywhere.

I guess you never know anybody for sure. I'm just saying.
