One of former Vice President Dick Cheney’s erstwhile fly-fishing buddies, Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., told the press last week about his recent phone conversation with Cheney’s eldest daughter, Liz.

“She called me and said that she’s looking at it” — that is, running in 2014 for the Senate seat Enzi now holds. (The Beltway-bred former State Department official moved her family from McLean, Va., to Wyoming in 2012.) Liz Cheney shares her famous father’s neoconservative militancy but apparently lacks the fly-fisherman’s patience. She didn’t ask Enzi if he was planning to run again (he is). Awkward.
