Coming soon: Cheney, Cheney, and Cheney?

Cheney's Daughter Starts Firm Of Her Own

By Jason Horowitz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, October 8, 2009


Good morning, you've reached the offices of Cheney, Cheney & Cheney.

Mary Cheney, the daughter of former vice president Dick Cheney and the sister of go-to Obama critic Liz Cheney, is leaving the political consulting firm Navigators Global to start her own consulting company, and multiple sources familiar with her plans say she will not be going it alone.

"She told me she is going to be starting a firm with her dad and sister," said one friend of Mary's, with whom she has shared her plans.

For now, the only official word is that Cheney, who is expecting her second child with her partner, Heather Poe, in November, will leave Navigators Global at the end of the month.

The Cheneys have, of course, found time to become something of their own brand -- a highly bookable, consistently gruff clan who speak in dour unison when bashing the current president, second-guessing the previous commander in chief and chiding wayward GOP leaders. Is Mary hanging a shingle now, with the rest to follow in the near future? Tutwiler said she had nothing else to add. Later calls to Tutwiler seeking further comment were not returned.

Mary Cheney's colleagues did have some things to add. "She has told people within the firm that she wants to do something with her father," said a source within Navigators Global. "It's going to be a firm like Kissinger Associates."

Some other Republicans were considerably less sanguine about the firm's potential and the former vice president's apparent career choice.

"Why can't he learn how to play golf?" said one senior Republican consultant. "It was good enough for Agnew. Why is it not good enough for Dick Cheney? Seriously, he should be working the Jackson Hole/Palm Spings circuit."

1. So the Dick will have his own law firm to defend him
How does that go? Only a fool would have himself as a lawyer? Lizard's arguments for daddy might sound good around the family table but they make no sense in the real world.

3. I've got a feeling that it's gonna be this way.....
...with the Cheney girls until Dick's safely buried and the will's in probate.

6. Probably to start her own consulting company to justify murder and torture
for the elite. Cheney is a murderer. Nothing more. Nothing less.
