Maggie: The Cheney Feud Is Staged

"The Cheney family is a very close family, and I don’t believe they would have this spat in public, except for the fact that it’s good for both of the sisters. It gives Mary a chance to air her deeply held, passionate moral convictions and advance the ball for gay marriage. And it helps Liz Cheney get elected senator in the state of Wyoming. Call me a skeptic, but the Cheney family’s been in the public eye a long time, and I don’t doubt that they have the emotions that they’re saying. I’m not saying they’re not telling the truth, but I don’t think the sisters would have done this, except that it’s kind of a win-win for the family as a whole." - Maggie Gallagher, quoted by the Advocate.
