Some Cheneys bitch.....
...and some don't. How strange that Liz Cheney and her mother are so upset at Kerry mentioning Mary Cheney's being a lesbian at Thursday's debate. Was this a secret?! They must be very desperate to find something wrong with Kerry, or maybe the truth is that they are ASHAMED of their close relative more than they should be. Why am I channeling Newt Gingrich and his "only" HALF-sister?
Dick Cheney thanked Edwards for the kind things he said about his family during the VP debate and they found common ground on not supporting a Constitutional amendment to disallow gay marriage, but when Kerry was asked about gay people Thursday night at the debates, suddenly Liz (the str8 daughter) and her mother are speaking for their sister and husband saying what Kerry did was "offensive". I do not see why and I do not see what the big deal is, unless you bear in mind that Mrs. Cheney tried to deny her daughter was a lesbian much of the time four years ago.
Today on CNN's show with Paula Zahn, Liz Cheney tried to insinuate that Mary was personally offended but she would not and could not speak for her sister to say that Mary herself was actually offended. Liz could not articulate what was offensive about the statement either, but just agreed with her mother that Mary was used as a political tool. Sounds to me like the incumbent camp is feeling pressure and is worried about losing it's hold. I guess all that fantasizing about how the world is is coming to a fore.
Don't forget, Mary Cheney and her girlfriend weren't welcomed onto the stage after Cheney's speech at the RNC. I think their mullets would have detracted from the wholesomeness that Liz Cheney's family was trying to espouse and then the Repubs further botched the story by saying Mary did not want to go on stage afterwards. Does one think that maybe she refused to go without her partner if she had been given an ultimatum? Mary and the woman who was obviously her partner had been sitting in the same part of the audience as the rest of the family during the Cheney speech at the RNC and they were included when the camera panned by. As I believe I blogged at the time, her girlfriend was not really included on the camera angle I saw, but she was there.
I guess the Cheneys want it both ways.
