Cheney a surprise guest for Lynne’s book chat

There aren’t many rooms where Vice President Dick Cheney gets a standing ovation these days. Who knew that one of them would be at the media-laden National Press Club?

...

Not that the whole room was press. There were more than a few Republicans and friends and relatives of the Second Couple, including their daughters, Liz and Mary. It made club President Jerry Zremski’s usual warning to the TV audience that applause may be coming from guests “and not necessarily from members of the working press” that much more appropriate.

But even many of the press members on stage were relatively friendly: NBC’s Pete Williams, a former Pentagon reporter and native of Casper, Wyo., Chris Berry, general manager of conservative talk station WMAL, and conservative journalist Jeff Gannon.
