It was another political time and another political place a few years ago.
House Republicans had just elected Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., as the House GOP Conference chairwoman. Cheney would be the highest-ranking Republican female in the House.
A smiling Cheney appeared alongside other top Republicans at a November 2018 press conference in the marble, acoustically-challenged foyer of the Longworth House Office Building.
Her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, held the same slot as conference chairman when he was a congressman from Wyoming in the 1980s.
I asked Cheney at that press conference if her dad gave her any advice.

Letter to Congressman Carl
15 Independence Ave SE
Dear Congressman Carl,
You and I have known each other for quite a number of years. I dont consider myself a close personal friend. Ive never been in your home, nor have you been in mine. We have never dined out together. We dont attend the same church. We dont travel in the same circles. Yet we have many, many mutual friends, and I can attest to two things. The first is – all our mutual friends hold you in the highest regard and place their utmost trust in you. The second is – every one of those people is worried about you.
