His own wife publicly disagreeing with him on policy.
UPDATE: Boifromtroy has the polling data that gives motivation to my theory that this is all one long setup to replace Cheney without disgracing him.
Gosh. My wife has never disagreed with me, in public or elsewhere, about anything. Ever. You're right: Cheney's GOT to go.

Seriously, my husband and I disagree all the time but not in front of a client on an issue on which he has authority.
Business marriage protocol is very different.

I wish Lynn would have told her inquisitors to take a flying leap when they tried to find something she disagreed with her husband about.
I don't give a darn what Lynn Cheney thinks about gay marriage any more than the darn I don't give about Laura Bush's variances with her hubby on abortion.
Does anyone here think the media would be so pumped up if they learned that a spouse of a prominent Democrat disagreed with them on some point of policy. Of course not. It's yet another of the double standards rife among the biased mainstream
Oops! I meant to say "mainstream media"
When I went to cut/paste the text to a spell-check, "media" didn't highlight, and so was lost to what I pasted to the 'post' window.

Dennis Thatcher has to be the model political spouse. He was seen, but not heard.
