On Hardball last night (Friday, May 22) Chris Matthews showed a clip dated 2007 of Lynn Cheney answering that question...it is "CHEEKNEE". That is how the family always has pronounced it, how everyone in Montana pronounces it, although she did say a couple of people have chosen to pronounce it ChainE. She said the media mispronounces it all the time and she posited that it was because "ChainE" sounds better than "CHEEKNEE". I saw Liz Cheney make fun of Chris Matthews for insisting on the CHEEKNEE pronunciation and she said she always says ChainE as if everyone does. Apparently she was unaware of the clip showing her mother contradicting her. But Liz is her father's child so she is not going to give anyone "on the other side" a break, no matter what, truth be dam***! Happy Saturday! :)
