It looks perhaps Cheney needed a strong lady more than many other men.

Lynne went off to Colorado College, where she would graduate summa cum laude, while Dick headed east to Yale on a full scholarship arranged by a local oilman, Thomas Stroock, a classmate of George H. W. Bush’s. But he was not prepared to compete with the preppies and students from big urban high schools, missed Lynne terribly, and was forced to leave not once but twice for bad grades. He wound up back in Wyoming, erecting high-voltage power lines, and twice in the eight months between November 1962 and July 1963 was arrested for drunken driving, once in Cheyenne, once in Rock Springs.

When I suggest to Lynne Cheney that this must have been a crushing time for him, she replies quickly, “That’s not a part of the experience I remember at all,” and adds, “I just always thought that the most amazing part was that one day he decided that he needed to straighten himself up, and he did.” A better reflection of both Cheneys’ feelings at the time may be contained in Executive Privilege, in which the fictional First Lady vows that she and her husband will never go back to Montana if he loses the White House, because doing so would re-awaken memories of his early, failed campaigns for the Senate.

Cheney was lucky to have had his tuition at Yale paid by a Texas oilman. Hope you enjoy that article, rooster.

And these.

LaRouche says Psychological Profile of Dick Cheney ‘Extremely plausible’

July 12, 2007 (EIRNS)—This release was issued today by the Lyndon LaRouche Political Action Committee (LPAC).

July 12 (LPAC)—On July 11 and 12, Truthout published a two-part series of articles entitled "Dick Cheney's Psychology," written by John P. Briggs, M.D., a retired psychotherapist, and JP Briggs II, Ph.D., a professor at Western Connecticut State University, specializing in the creative process. Lyndon LaRouche commented that the expert view presented in the articles is extremely plausible and coincides with his own judgment and that of others regarding Cheney's state of mind. LaRouche stated that the analysis is important in understanding both the President and the zombie controlling him. LaRouche believes that people will have no objection to the authors' characterization of Lynne Cheney's control over her Charlie McCarthy-like husband. LaRouche stressed that the authors are correct that the controller in the relationship is not Dick Cheney, but his wife, and we know who owns his wife. As LaRouche put it, if I had a wife like that, or a wife like that controlled me, I'd be ashamed of myself. Lynne Cheney should be returned to the manufacturer for reasons of factory moral defects. .. http://larouchepub.com/pr_lar/2007/lar_pac/070712cheney_psych_profile.html

Kudos to Cheney's love and acceptance of his daughter Mary on learning of her lesbian orientation. That is one fine mark of a "real man". Maybe that's
why you said it, eh. Or maybe you said it because of the suggestion Lynne made it clear to him either shape-up or ship-out, and he took that to heart.
