She did a good job answering the question!
While I differ with her on this particular subject, the States Rights issue is a very valid point.
Agreed....a mark of a true diplomat, as well as a well-bred person, is the ability to be gracious despite the efforts of a less-than-gracious host. Mrs. Cheney is a wonderful member of our Administration and it will be a shame that she will have to leave after 2008. I haven't heard her make any statements regarding any future plans for holding any public office, but hopefully she might consider it...she would be great at whatever she might choose to do.
