Cheney, Cheney & Cheney

Washington Post:

Good morning, you've reached the offices of Cheney, Cheney & Cheney.

Mary Cheney, the daughter of former vice president Dick Cheney and the sister of go-to Obama critic Liz Cheney, is leaving the political consulting firm Navigators Global to start her own consulting company, and multiple sources familiar with her plans say she will not be going it alone.

"She told me she is going to be starting a firm with her dad and sister," said one friend of Mary's, with whom she has shared her plans.

For now, the only official word is that Cheney, who is expecting her second child with her partner, Heather Poe, in November, will leave Navigators Global at the end of the month.

"She has been a fantastic member of our team, and we are excited for her and wish her well in her new venture," said Phil Anderson, the president of Navigators Global. Asked whether her departure had anything to do with the baggage the Cheney name bears in a town where Democrats control the levers of power, Anderson demurred. "Not at all," he said.

Anderson punted questions about Cheney's plans to Lucy Tutwiler, a spokeswoman for the Cheney family at the American Enterprise Institute -- the conservative think tank where her mother, Lynne, works and where the former vice president sits as a board member.

"Mary is starting an independent strategic consulting firm," Tutwiler confirmed.

And the rest of the family? "Liz is not involved," said Tutwiler, referring to Mary's older sister, who is quickly becoming a familiar face on the cable television and lecture circuit. "She is spending all of her time helping Vice President Cheney write his book."

...


I like all the Cheneys and wish them well with this endeavor. Liz has become an outstanding spokesman for conservative ideals and foreign policy. Others quoted in the story say the new enterprise is likely to be a family effort eventually.
