She's a bit out of her element. Mary Cheney, daughter of US Vice President Dick Cheney, had made it her business to fly under the radar. She's a pro at shunning the limelight. As the openly gay daughter of a man running for office in a party opposed to gay marriage, she took the hits and let them slide off her as if she were coated with Teflon. Kind of like Daddy. Cheney's self-written
story of life as a political daughter, campaign strategist and happily
partnered gay woman is out this week, with a carefully planned media
campaign. Now It's My Turn: A Daughter's Chronicle of Political Life, is
primarily an insider's story on campaign politics, a primer for those
outside the D.C. political bubble on what life is really like in the
midst of a presidential campaign. Cheney served as her father's personal
aide in 2000, then as director of vice presidential operations on the
2004 campaign. — LAT/WP |
