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.

Of course there was a bit more of a crowd inside the lunch, who were curious what the Cheney family had to say.
