" No dowdy Harlequin, this slender volume overfloweth with oceans of patriotic brothel activity and lipstick lesbian beaver hoovering. Mrs. Lynne Cheney Lynne V. Cheney, wife of Vice President Richard B. Cheney, has always loved the idea of a world blessedly devoid of change. As such, she has spent much of her professional life crusading for the preservation of an America in which white Christian men are boss, and women enjoy the privilege of never daring to question the status quo. As chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities from 1986 to 1993, she published American Memory , a report that warned about the dangers of dwelling on such historical myths as "Native American Genocide," "Slavery," and "Japanese Concentration Camps." Mrs. Cheney believes that a system of education that fails to focus exclusively on flag-waving and how Christopher Columbus discovered America is complicit in nurturing a generation of USA-haters whose collective dream future involves being anally gang penetrated by a Godless army of Osama bin Laden clones. Today, as a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, she particularly emphasizes the value of rewriting our nation's history. "One of the important lessons we can learn is that Republicans invented freedom," she says. "This realization should make the irrational hatred we foment against progressives all the more visceral to the ignorant, and all the more worth intensifying through revisionist history and jingoistic propaganda."
