[edit] Children's Birthdates
Are the last two of her four children fraternal twins, sharing the birthdate that is listed last? Or do we not have a birthdate for the last child?
[edit] Factlet added by anonymous user - needs factchecking
"where she was captain of the cheerleading squad and dated Mark Elam."
This addition was made by an anonymous user. Can anyone confirm this information? If true, is this information encyclopedic? oo64eva (AJ) 21:45, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] May 9 trip to Middle East (Official govt. representation)
Elizabeth Cheney / adviser on trip / - - as mentioned by Dan Froomkin (Wash. Post Columnist - - online discussion)
here is the quoted "dialogue"
Washington: Dan, has anyone figured out in what capacity Liz Cheney is accompanying her father on his Middle East trip? All bios that I can find indicate that she quit her State job a couple of years ago. So who is she working for, and for how long?
Dan Froomkin: That's a very fine question, and one I am trying to get answered. Liz Cheney is a former principal deputy assistant secretary of state for near eastern affairs, and has been a relentless public defender of her father's policies. (See, for instance, this Washington Post op-ed from January.) But technically speaking, she has no official role at the moment -- or does she?
Is she considered an official advisor on this trip? Is she part of the delegation? Who's paying her way? Is she just there to massage her daddy's knees? She and her husband, Philip Perry, both of whom I noticed were invited to the state dinner Monday, have become quite controversial, quasi-governmental figures.
here's the web location (active from 1-2 p.m. EDT on May 9)

[edit] more on Mideast trip and involvement in diplomatic exchanges
Elizabeth Cheney was photographed MAY 10 Pool Footage on network news coverage of the Vice President's trip & press conference events during the official greeting at the airport of the Vice President. The Gulf News periodical (unlike other Mainstream US Media) reported some of her interchanges:
the uncredited story found at gulfnews dot-com includes these paragraphs: 05/11/2007 07:46 PM | WAM Abu Dhabi: US Vice- President Dick Cheney arrived yesterday on a state visit to the UAE as part of a whirlwind tour of the region.
Cheney was welcomed upon arrival by Foreign Minister Shaikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Meanwhile, Her Highness Shaikha Fatima Bint Mubarak, Chairperson of UAE General Women's Union, yesterday received Elizabeth Cheney, Dick, Cheney's daughter, at Al Bahr Palace in the presence of US Ambassador to the UAE Michele J. Sison.
Shaikha Fatima and her guest exchanged talks and reviewed a host of issues concerning women in the two friendly countries.
Present at the meeting were Shaikha Shamsa Bint Hamdan, wife of Shaikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister, Khowla Bint Ahmad Al Suwaidi, wife of Shaikh Tahnoun Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Shaikha Al Yaziya Bint Saif, wife of Shaikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Foreign Minister and a number of prominent women leaders in the country.

[edit] She will convey Thompson for Prez campaign's "blessing" to Romney
According to FOX NEWS SUNDAY (January 27, 2008) - - Bill Kristol conveyed the news to the Power Panel section of the conservative talk show (hosted by Chris Wallace) that Liz Cheney will be the relay for the endorsement before the January 29, 2008 Florida primary of an endorsement of Mitt Romney for President. He vouched for her accurate sounding of conservative true blue credentials to the Candidate, now neck-and-neck with John McCain. I couldn't yet find this at Thompson website nor at Weekly Standard dot-com. Timothy Shaw Timothyjshaw (talk) 15:25, 27 January 2008 (UTC)timothyjshaw
