Weekly Standard's Hayes penning gloriously long hagiography of Cheney

[Fenris]

Yeas & Nays has learned that the Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes is in the final stages of “Cheney,” his biography of the powerful and shadowy veep, and the book will hit bookstores this summer.

Contrary to previous press accounts, The White House did not hand-pick Hayes to pen an official biography of the vice president. But Cheney has sat down with Hayes more than a half-dozen times, for nearly 40 hours of interviews. Interviews took place in various locations, from Jackson Hole, Wyo., to the vice president’s residence in Washington to Air Force Two to Cheney’s residence on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Hayes has also scored two interviews with President Bush and scores of other interviews with various Bush administration officials.

The 400-plus page “Cheney” will document the vice president’s life from the beginning and Hayes has spoken with family members and friends from Cheney’s childhood, high school and college. And, considering that Cheney’s political career began almost 40 years ago in the Nixon administration, there is no lack of Washingtonians with stories and experiences to share about Cheney. Expect plenty of them — from both sides of the aisle — in Hayes’ book.
