Um, if reviews are any indication, Mary Cheney may want to rethink
that "sequel"

Your turn????, May 18, 2006
Reviewer: D. Ingram (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

You had your turn and you BLEW IT! How about an apology. You had one of the greatest opportunities to change the world and you blew it. Thanks for nothing.

Mary is delusional!
I read the book, and yeah if you are a "Stepford Wife" it makes sense.
But, in real time she is a complete nut! I felt like I was watching one of those cable Jesus channels where they whack you upside the head and get healed. She must get whacked upside the head every morning!
Miss Mary, Please open your eyes to the world. There is a HUGE world out there and guess what?! It doesn't revolve around you, or your family.

Give me my time back.., May 18, 2006
Reviewer: GDK - See all my reviews
This is a bitter vanity piece that contributes nothing. Way to take a stand when your father is retiring soon and they have nothing to loose.

The stuff about the Kerry debate remarks is laughable. Santorum compares you and your girlfriend to having sex a dog. Pat Robertson blames you, as a lesbian, for 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. Keyes calls you an immoral hedonist. Dobson says that you are unfit to raise a child, etc. But when Kerry mentions your sexuality he is out of bounds.

This book is way worse than other conservative books because the author is such a hypocrite. I will be adding my copy to the used section vey soon.

This is awful. Garbage., May 17, 2006
Reviewer: M. Tonaszuck "Marc the Shark" (Western Mass. USA) - See all my reviews

Why would anyone want to read the story of a lesbian who has worked against gay rights?

She had such a great opportunity to bring attention to these issues, and she failed to do so.

She was comfortable in her job working for the president and her father, the vice-president for the last eight years. Now that she finds that she's not going to have a job soon, she's looking to try to find a new career as an author. Please!

There's no reason why anyone should be interested in supporting this woman by buying her book, unless they think that lack of integrity is a good thing.

She should go on Michelangelo Signorile's radio show and face the music.

Mary Mary Quite Contrary How Does Your Ignorance Grow, May 16, 2006
Reviewer: T. Hyde "The Truth Will Out" (Bethesda Maryland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This book is full of empty half truths and self deceptions. Mary doesn't address how she could possibly live off of her connections and her homosexuality (see gay outreach for Coors Brewery), while supporting an administration that is overtly hostile to gays and lesbians. She reaches the heights of hypocrisy when she rails against John Edwards and John Kerry for daring to mention her homosexuality during the debates in 2004. Somehow she forgets all the anti-gay marriage amendments and anti-gay campaign literature spewed forth from the Republican propaganda machine that propelled her "sensitive" father and his sterling running mate to victory. This book is a feeble attempt to cash in by an opportunistic and evidently self-loathing gay woman.

1. She was on Letterman last night
And Letterman, graciously, charmingly, smilingly, sunk his teeth into her chest, ripped out her heart, chewed it, and spit it in her face. He did good!!!! He didn't get mean and aggressive, but with a sweet smile, he ripped her to shreds. Bravo, Dave!

2. I figure it'll hit the thrift shop shelves pretty soon
Here's yet another cogent review at Amazon:
"...mostly she's turned this into a juvenile rant about the occasional tensions in her relatively cushy life..." :eyes:

4. What a review!
I won't be reading it, buying it, or even glancing at the cover.
