To mark may the fourth. Well speak with simpsons Executive Producer aljean. Liz cheney is the top ranked republican woman in congress. She comes from a political dynasty. Shes credited for her no nonsense midwestern nature, and her willingness to speak her mind. And its that last bit that could be her biggest problem.
