Cheney Feels the Love as He Hits the Heartland
NY Times
Excerpt:
TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. 12 — Grace Mosier lives with her mom and dad, goes to birthday parties, takes ballet classes and is just like a lot of other 6-year-old girls. Except that she happens to be obsessed with Dick Cheney.
“I really, really like him,†says Grace, who can tell you what state the vice president was born in (Nebraska), where he went to grade school (College View, in Lincoln) and the names of his dogs (Dave and Jackson). She gets her fix of Cheney fun-facts by visiting the White House Web site for children. It says there that his favorite teacher was Miss Duffield and that he used to run a company called Halliburton….
“Like a rock star coming to town,†says Dene Mosier, Grace’s mother. And while Mr. Cheney might be an unusual object for a 6-year-old’s fixation, it is probably less unusual here, in the heart of Cheney Country….“It’s just such a big thrill to see and hear this man,†says Marvin Smith, a farmer and former teacher.
Mr. Smith says most people he knows feel the same way, “except for a few of those peacemakers.†He means protesters, a smattering of whom are picketing down the street.
“We love him here,†Susan Wagle, a state senator, says of Mr. Cheney.
