Missed opportunity
Given her unique point of view as the daughter of Vice President Cheney and a lesbian, Mary Cheney might have turned in a fascinating and revealing chronicle of what life is like in the bosom of the far-right wing.

Sadly, it is all of those things and not the slightest bit revealing.
