I uploaded the Mary Cheney Pajamas Media podcast onto my iPod last week, I finally got a chance to listen to it this evening.
Gerard Vanderleun of Pajamas interviews Mary, the daughter of Vice President Cheney and author Lynne Cheney. (Lynn is a senior fellow of the American Enterprise Institute, the group figures prominently in the next post.)
The younger Cheney just authored her first book, Now It's My Turn : A Daughter's Chronicle of Political Life.
Vanderleun brings out some interesting antidotes out of Mary, among them the need for political candidates to was their hands constantly while on the campaign trail. Why? Candidates shake hundreds of hands on some days, the odds of picking up a bug that can knock a person down are pretty high.
Mary mentions that early on in his brief presidential run, General Wesley Clark skipped this essential part of running for office. Guess what? Clark got sick and missed a week of campaigning.
And yes, her longtime relationship with Heather Poe is discussed. But politics and campaigning is what the podcast--and the book--is mostly about.
