threw out the first pitch before a 2003 game between the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs, Cheney was first informed that “Nick Lachey — a native of Cincinnati — would sing the national anthem before the game and would be accompanied by his girlfriend, Jessica Simpson. Cheney thought Simpson’s name sounded familiar. He asked his staff: ‘Is that the soldier who was captured in Iraq?’ ” (That would be Jessica Lynch).

» Don’t tell the veep that you’re hung over. In 2004, Cheney approached deputy press secretary Randy DeCleene during a cookout at the vice president’s residence at the Naval Observatory. He asked DeCleene, “How was your birthday?”

“I think today is the first day that I’m not hung over,” DeCleene responded. “After a split second of awkward silence,” Hayes writes, “Cheney offered a sympathetic grin and walked away. ‘I was mortified,’ DeCleene says. ‘I spent the next two days wondering why the hell I told the vice president of the United States that I was hung over.’ ”
