Dick Cheney preparing new opera

Fresh from a round of interviews with the major cable news outlets, former Vice President Dick Cheney is announcing he has the first act and several arias completed for a major new opera he hopes to debut at the Met next year. Under the working title, “Nebukeneezer,” he is hoping, as with his recent round of interviews, to “shed light” on the shortcomings of the new Obama administration
“Their sunny optimism hides an evil death mask,” he purportedly told several insiders, unquoted because they were not authorized to speak for Cheney.

Producer Jerry Zucker and actor Ron Silver are attached.

The former vice-president’s wife and daughter are also authors. Lynne Cheney is the author of several children’s books, and self-hating lesbian daughter Mary has written an autobiography.
