The promotion for former Vice President Dick Cheney’s memoir In My Time (Threshold/S&S, 8/30) continues this morning with excerpts in USA Today, focusing on his “unflattering” portrayals of many he worked with during his time in office (including the President).

The one who bears the brunt of the Cheney treatment, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, has gone on the record, calling Cheney’s comments “cheap shots.” (Cheney also has some words for Powell’s successor, Condoleezza Rice. No word from her yet; she may be saving it for her own memoir, coming from Crown in Nov., No Higher Honor).

In My Time went to #1 on Amazon sales rankings late yesterday, where it continues today.
