Cheneys face tough time on GOP trail, says Alan Simpson
As lesbian daughter of the VP Mary Cheney faces criticism for supporting the GOP and her dad is criticized for saying he was against a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, November looms. It hasn't been an easy campaign for the Cheneys, says close friend ex-Sen. Alan Simpson. Simpson recalled a tense confrontation on the campaign trail when one of President George W. Bush's Christian conservative backers advised Cheney to pray for Mary and to "urge her away from her aberration." "Dick just stared at him," Simpson recalled. "If you said that to Dick or Lynne Cheney, you will get a look that would sizzle your underwear."
