Larry King's interview with Vice President Dick Cheney and Mrs. Lynne Cheney aired tonight on CNN.
An interesting exchange--
KING: Would you like to be first lady?
L. CHENEY: Oh, my goodness, I think we couldn't...
KING: I mean, if he said, you know, let's do it.
L. CHENEY: ... we couldn't have a better first lady than Mrs. Bush is now. Isn't she amazing?
KING: Well, but she can't be again.
L. CHENEY: Well, who knows, you know.
KING: I'm trying to see if there's a possibility...
L. CHENEY: When I think of, you know, people are thinking...
KING: He says no, but you've got all the clout.
L. CHENEY: ... of Mrs. Clinton running for president. I think Mrs. Bush ought to run for president. If we want to have a Bush dynasty, let's get Laura Bush. Has she been wonderful in these...
KING: What do you make of that?
L. CHENEY: ... last five years.
KING: Mrs. Bush versus Mrs. Clinton.
D. CHENEY: It's a great idea.
KING: Biggest turnout in American history, right?
D. CHENEY: And I think I know who would win too.

I think Lynne Cheney is great. She's a very intelligent, strong woman who can say a lot with a few well-placed words.
In a roundabout way, she managed to rip Hillary without actually saying anything negative about her. Simply juxtaposing the two women was all she had to do.
