1. I don't think he is. That's how Cheney himself said it. nt

2. He pronounces it the way the Cheney's actually pronounce it.
Nobody else does.

7. Wow.
I swear I've never heard anyone say it that way, not even Dick and I guess that's the way he says his own name.


I guess I'm just not paying never enough. I seldom do when Tweety or the Dick speak.

9. I didn't know that about the pronunciation, either, but I hate the way Tweety
Spits and reads the teleprompter so much. His fast fire questions are nothing more than mediocre speed reading.

12. i heard back in 2000 that everyone mispronounced the name.
it is pronounced chee-nee but shooter never corrects anyone when they mispronounce it. maybe it's his version of witness protection. :-)

13. The correct pronounciation is Chee-nee.
I once saw Lynne Cheney saying so. Somehow it never got corrected soon enough and they're stuck with Chay-nee.
