Second Lady of the United States 2001–2009, writer and pundit

Liz Cheney has been Republican royalty, and a conservative stalwart in Washington—a daughter of former Vice-President Dick Cheney and culture warrior Lynne Cheney. But after protesting Donald Trump's election lies, and voting for his impeachment after January 6th, she found herself in exile from the G.O.P. Cheney is contemplating a Presidential campaign on a third-party line. As she promotes her new book, “Oath and Honor,” she is raising the alarm that Americans across the political spectrum have become “numb” to Trump's overtly dictatorial aspirations. “People really understood that what he had done [on January 6th] was unacceptable, not to mention unconstitutional and illegal,” she tells David Remnick. “That recognition quickly dwindled.” She finds herself frustrated with former allies on the right who have become shameless enablers of Trump; she does not trust Speaker Mike Johnson, a former friend, to perform his constitutional duties during the electoral process. She is also concerned that the left is squandering an opportunity to defeat Donald Trump in 2024 by alienating some of the voters whose support they need on issues such as crime and immigration. Trump “has figured out a way, as dictators have in the past, to make those people think he speaks for them,” she says. Still, Cheney's faith in the country's institutions and judiciary has not been totally shaken. Asked if Trump should go to jail if convicted—on any of his ninety-one federal charges—she says yes without hesitation; but we must not presume that “someone else is going to save us from him.”

最近在美国一部叫好叫座的电影就是描述美国前副总统切尼(Dick Cheney)的“为副不仁(Vice)”,一生阅历丰富,三十多岁就被任命为白宫幕僚长,也做过联邦众议员,国防部长和副总统,而他从二十多岁就和夫人琳恩(Lynne Cheney)在一起,两人育有两个女儿,这么多年来恩爱依旧,也没有传过什么绯闻,是华府的一对让人称羡的模范夫妻。但切尼副总统出生在内布拉斯加州,在威斯康辛州,怀俄明州和康乃狄克州上学,然后一直住在华府和怀俄明州,所以您也奇怪,他到底和我们科州有什么渊源呢?那就要从他的夫人,美国的第二夫人琳恩切尼说起了。琳恩切尼出生在毗邻科州的怀俄明州,是一个道地的美国乡村姑娘,从小的文笔就不错,上学之后也一直朝文科发展,主修英国文学的她,在大学毕业时还拿到了学校的最高荣誉,更进一步的修读了文学硕士和博士学位。而琳恩四年的大学生活和两年的硕士进修是在我们科州的科罗拉多学院(Colorado College)和科罗拉多大学波德分校(University of Colorado at Boulder)就读的,所以琳恩不单单是科罗拉多学院的高材生也是该校的荣誉校友。而这些年来,她除了是切尼副总统的贤内助外,自己也撑起一片天,是一位著名的作家,学者,和电视节目主持人,也热心公益的参与了非常多的公益活动。如果您以为切尼家和科州的渊源仅止于此那您就错了,切尼的两个女儿也都跟随母亲的脚步,在科罗拉多学院完成了她们大学的学业,大女儿伊丽莎白(Liz Cheney)继承父业,目前是怀俄明州的联邦众议员,而小女儿玛丽(Mary Cheney)更和科州有多一层的渊源,她是我们落基棒球队(Colorado Rockies)的创队员工,早已出柜的她,也曾是库尔斯啤酒厂(Coors Brewing Company)的公关经理和同性推广部的主管,一直以来都为同性平权而不遗余力。下次您再看到关于她们的报导时,您也可以告诉大家她们都曾是科州人了。
Camille James Harman:Born in Shreveport, Louisiana and raised by her adoptive parents in Lafayette, Camille James Harman always knew she was destined to take the road less traveled. Camille studied liberal arts at University of Louisiana, and while there, took on the role of prop mistress in a local community theater production. From her vantage point backstage, she enjoyed watching the actors so much that she acted in the next play and garnered rave reviews. While pursuing an MFA in Drama at the University of New Orleans, Camille booked her first television movie, "Silent Cries,” an NBC ‘Movie Of The Week,' opposite Annabeth Gish. The WW II film was shot in New Orleans, and it gave Camille the opportunity to perform with a British accent and begin building SAG credits. Legendary producer Brandon Tartikoff wrote a role specifically for her in a pilot project shot in New Orleans with actor Jim Gleason.Camille took a hiatus from acting to focus on raising her now teenage son, and she has come a long way since her first credit. This winter, you can see her in the highly anticipated film, “Vice,” directed by Adam McKay, which is set to be released on Christmas Day, 2018. The film, from Annapurna, stars Christian Bale as Dick Cheney, Amy Adams as Lynne Cheney, Steve Carell as Donald Rumsfeld and Sam Rockwell as George W. Bush and is already receiving pre-release award season buzz. “Vice” tells the story of Dick Cheney and his rise to power as Vice-President to President George W. Bush. Camille plays Mary Matalin, Counselor to the Vice President, and counts her role as this powerful woman to be her most exciting to date. She spent many hours researching and watching interviews of Matalin to prepare for the part, and discovered that she had much in common with the now New Orleans-based political consultant. Following “Vice,” Camille can next be seen as a news anchor in the comedy film “Loqueesha.”https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6266538/Camille currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband Jeff, who is a well-known astrologer, their son Aidan, who is also an actor, and their pet cat and dog. She is active in faith-based charities as well as groups that support veterans and first-responders. She looks forward to building her list of film and television credits.In her free time, Camille enjoys visiting museums, listening to live music, and exploring historic homes and gardens. Camille and her husband Jeff are partners in a production company, Conjunction LLC, currently in discussions to produce several projects. Camille is passionate about acting, but her favorite role continues to be wife and mom.Music List: 1. The Neverending Paegent by Colin Clyne2. Berlin by Airport Impressions3.

Lynne Cheney, author of "James Madison: A Life Reconsidered" discusses the founders and modern politics on The Steve Fast Show. #JamesMadison #LynneCheney
On episode 9 of The Katie Halper Show, comedian Julie Goldman talks about her dreams of founding a vigilante posse which would kill or spare and just torture Bill Cosby. She also talks about marriage equality and struggles over whether she would go straight for Donald Trump or Bill Cosby first. And Julie contributes to the Right Wing Erotica project by reading an excerpt from Lynne Cheney's book "Sisters." Then Yoruba Richen talks about her documentary The New Black, which explores how the African American community is grappling with same sex marriage. We also look at the origins of the term "anchor baby," and why Jeb Bush wasn't being racist against Latinos when he used the term. Spoiler alert: he was talking about the Asians.
Announcements Free 4 Quick & Easy Video Marketing Lessons for Writers You’re not making book trailers yet? Really? Seriously? You know I'm an insane, video-crazed freak, right? But do you know why?

This Week's Review This week’s contributor is Heather Preusser, with a review of a debut middle grade novel from Esther Ehrlich and a tip from Chris Crutcher. This week’s guest is Robin Preiss Glasser, illustrator of Fancy Nancy written by Jane O'Connor. Robin has also worked as an illustrator for Judith Viorst, Garrison Keillor, Lynne Cheney and Sarah Ferguson. Robin and I talk about Who was the inspiration for Fancy Nancy. Her number video rule. How she transforms author art notes in to finish illustrations. Note to my podcast listeners: When I was listening to Fresh Air on NPR I thought, "Hey! I could do that, but with children's publishing as my focus!" That's how Brain Burps About Books got started. Writing is so solitary. I thought it would be a great way to get to talk to my friends and make new ones, plus I could help others learn. Maybe I'd learn some stuff myself, too. I've had the privilege of talking to the first three National Ambassadors for Young People's Literature, to librarians and New York Time's bestselling authors. I've interviewed to booksellers and publishers, writers, illustrators, app creators, and app distributors, and more! There is always something new on the horizon to learn and to share. So many listeners have asked how to support the show, and actually, now you can. I've installed a donate button to help defray the costs of producing the show. What do you learn or get out of Brain Burps every week? If it's worth donating a dollar, two dollars, five, or whatever you think the show is worth to you, it would help enormously. The show costs $20 a month to keep on the server, and that's only if there are four shorter episodes in a month. That number doesn't include other costs like my time to research and record, post, edit the intros and outros, web hosting, and equipment and software to do all this. I ended up loving podcasting. I love my listeners. My "Burpers!" This is my gig, I know. and like I said, it's an incredible experience for me. But if you've you've been helped, or just love it too, and you're able, here's your opportunity to help defray the costs. No matter what, thank you for being a Burper!
