A few weeks ago, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) got underway in Washington, DC and there were no real surprises in front of the cameras, save for that magical moment when Dick Cheney appeared out of nowhere to chants of "Run, Dick, Run."
But behind the cameras, there was pawlenty going on. MSNBC's Rachel Maddow was on hand to cover the conference and word has it that when she and Liz Cheney were introduced outside the hotel they were both staying in, they unexpectedly embraced for what some say was more than just a polite "how do you do."
After Maddow and friends moved on, Cheney was rumored to have said "Wow, that Rachel Maddow is really hot in person. If I were my sister, I may not have been able to control myself." Liz, of course, was speaking about her sister, Mary, who is openly gay.
When told about Cheney's comment, Maddow reportedly replied, "wow, really? Liz? Liz Cheney? Gosh, I don't know whether to be flattered by that or extremely repulsed."
