So Mary Cheney's back out plugging the book.
It's interesting that the week she took off was during the gay marriage debate, when everyone was talking about it. You didn't hear a peep out of her during that time.

But now that it's died down, she seems to be back out there, whoring for a few more sells...

I love the "offer"...

Better Together
Buy this book with Godless: The Church of Liberalism by Ann Coulter today!
Buy Together Today: $32.52

Cheney + Coulter - what a combo.

BTW - where is she "touring" at now?

4. Someone mentioned she would be on Fresh Air this week.
And I could've sworn I saw her on one of the cable news channels this afternoon when I left work for lunch. And our news office only keeps the channel on either Fox or CNN...

5. I wouldn't be surprised if she came out with an addendum
slamming 9/11 families.

6. Who would buy this book besides her parents and family (maybe)?
Conservatives are turned off by her homosexuality and liberals are disgusted by her hypocrisy.

I wonder what the real reason was for publishing this crappy book? It certainly wasn't published to make money. Maybe her dad gave 1 million dollars to the publisher so that they would publish the book.
:shrug:

13. Mary Cheney on Fresh Air...
Terry Gross is struggling trying to keep the conversation flowing and rational, but Gross is not helping Cheney polish her image.

Mary Cheney isn't exactly the darling of the left. This may help her book sales, but I have a feeling it won't help much.

17. Did Terry ask her why she was absent from last week's gay marriage
debate?

Now there's a a question I'd like to see asked this week.

18. Gross asked her about the amendment (and the 2004 version)
Cheney took both sides of the issue: she hated the amendment but wasn't a one-issue voter. She feels that * was the only choice when it came to leading the US in a time of war.

She still ripped into Kerry about his reference to her being a lesbian. Gross called her on the hypocrisy of being sensitive about the issue but being a homosexual spokesperson for Coors Beer, but Cheney refused to back down.

Best estimate: Cheney's appearance on Fresh Air netted her about 10 more books.

My candid opinion: Mary Cheney would have been better off keeping her distance from daddy and not compromising her ideals. Now she looks like a fucking idiot.

19. If she looks like a fucking idiot, it is only because
she is a fucking idiot.

(Disclaimer - I've never met the woman, and have no personal knowledge of the level of her idiocy, only of the publicly displayed idiocy. My (lesbian) sister shares my opinion.)

21. I know a Borders manager.
He said that none of the conservative books sell well. We're in an allegedly red county, too. It's pretty socially liberal, though. He said it seems that a lot of conservatives come in and don't want to spend the money on a $25 hardcover. Steve wears a thick tinfoil hat, but he's extremely liberal and he enjoys debating with the conservatives that come into the store. He said that he's had several soldiers from Iraq come in (military base in town) and none have been a supporter of the president or the war, even though many started out supporters.
