Dick, Lynne and Liz Cheney were the guests Monday at Politico’s Playbook Lunch. Things were mostly cordial, and the Cheney family “even laughed together as the inevitable Code Pink protesters interrupted the lunch, with Lynne Cheney joking, ‘I wondered why the line was so long’ to get into the event.”
It’s always fun to laugh at Code Pink, as they continually try to “arrest” former Vice President Dick Cheney.
