Asked Sunday about her husband's stand on gay marriage in 2004, Lynne Cheney said, "I thought that the formulation he used in 2000 was very good.

"First of all, to be clear that people should be free to enter into their relationships that they choose. And, secondly, to recognize what's historically been the situation, that when it comes to conferring legal status on relationships, that is a matter left to the states," she said.


The vice president's press office had no immediate comment Sunday.

Monday morning the vice president's press office announced that Lynne Cheney is addicted to prescription drugs (perfectly acceptable to the GOP) and has checked into the Betty Ford Center for treatment.
