"Outing" Mary Cheney

Vice President Dick Cheney is an angry dad. And he is blaming Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry for dragging his lesbian daughter into the campaign.

Kerry referred to her during a debate with President Bush on Wednesday. Kerry responded to a question about whether homosexuality is a choice by mentioning Cheney's daughter, Mary, who has publicly acknowledged being a lesbian.

What is this B.S. about Kerry "outing" Mary Cheney and dragging her into the campaign? Jeezus, we are a nation of idiots. First Lynne Cheney is bitching, now Oil Slick Dick is pretending to be outraged. WTF?!? Did Oil Slick not personally speak to the issue in his debate with Edwards a mere ten days ago? Did they not talk about it and exchange pleasantries, howdy-doo's and hail-fellow-well-mets? I know our attention spans and memories are short, but come on.

EDWARDS: Now, as to this question, let me say first that I think the vice president and his wife love their daughter. I think they love her very much. And you can't have anything but respect for the fact that they're willing to talk about the fact that they have a gay daughter, the fact that they embrace her. It's a wonderful thing. And there are millions of parents like that who love their children, who want their children to be happy....

IFILL: Mr. Vice President, you have 90 seconds.

CHENEY: Well, Gwen, let me simply thank the senator for the kind words he said about my family and our daughter. I appreciate that very much.

IFILL: That's it?

CHENEY: That's it. [Emphasis mine]

Obviously, that wasn't it.
