Bush says Mary Cheney will make a "fine, loving mother"

Bush says Mary Cheney will make a "fine, loving mother"

WHITE HOUSE President Bush says he thinks the openly gay daughter of Vice President Cheney will make a "fine, loving mother."

...

In the past, Bush has said that a child should ideally be raised by a married mother and father.

The president was also asked today whether he would support any changes in the law that would give same-sex couples greater access to things such as hospital visits and insurance.

Bush says he has always maintained that the law should be reviewed "to make sure that people are treated fairly."

18. The answer to that question has not yet been determined.
> How god damn hipocritical can someone get before their head explodes?

The answer to that question has not yet been determined,
although we are seeing experimental data that suggests
"more than you can possibly imagine!".

10. Actually, and ironically, I'd say he's crammed the GOP with a bunch of closeted gays
I'm not sure if this is just a coincidence, or a deliberate recruitment of closeted conservatives, but it seems like the G in GOP should stand for gay, what with Drier, Mehlman, Schrock, Josh Bolten, Pageboy Foley, Larry Craig, and on and on and on...

19. The Boys in the Bundt, huh?
(With apologies to "National Lampoon", I think.)

3. I'm sure Dobson is on the phone right now...
...calling the pResident, to demand a retraction of his humane statements.

I love it when Junior does this. He contradicts those perverse radical nutjobs that
put him in office. You know Junior has just as much disdain for them, as everyone
else. He needed to cull votes, so he faked it.

Every once in a while, Junior does what he always does--he reminds everyone who
relies on him--that he's in charge and that he will do and say as he pleases.

I think it's nice that Junior said these things. They're true. However, with
Junior, nothing is face value. He's testy and petulant these days. He wanted
to rile someone, and this is how he's doing it.

Can you imagine the catty, conference calls that are happening right now?
Dobson, Falwell, Baker and the rest of the get-a-long-gang must be spitting nails.

5. It's interesting how this evil man is quick to make exceptions
for those within his "inner circle" as well as their families.

Dear Leader is both delusional and incompetent yet our gutless White House Press Corps continues to perpetrate the myth that our self-absorbed moron of a President is the least bit functional.

Shame on the Corporate MSM. :grr: :thumbsdown:

6. This is actually not new
Bush has been saying for years that he supports civil unions. And the Right has given him hell for it. He has been however, adamant against calling it "marraige".

7. If he supports civil unions, you're the first one I've heard say so.
And even if - at some point in time - he said he does support them, he has done nothing of which I'm aware to help them happen.

12. Some Info
Bush's position is that he supports civil unions and it is a state-by-state decision. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6338458/). Here's a video clip from Andrew Sullivan's site (http://time.blogs.com/daily_dish/2006/10/bush_backs_civi.html).

17. That's simply not true.
Bush vowed to veto a measure to decriminalize homosexual sex in Texas. He would only MAYBE support civil unions if they included *everyone*, including sisters, brothers, mother and child, and so on. He wants no recognition of same-sex love relations.

9. Right. Mary Cheney will make a "fine mother". What he doesn't say is that
Heather Poe will be an unperson. Which is ALSO fine with him.

11. He's covering his ass for last week's callous remark--pointedly did NOT say "Mother"
Said she'd be a loving soul or some asinine crap.

13. How would he know what a fine, loving mother was?
Edited on Thu Dec-21-06 04:29 AM by ThsMchneKilsFascists
His lied to him as a child about his dead sister and went on a golf junket.

15. If she's as liberal as they come, why'd she stump for Darth Daddy Cheney in '04?
Bit her in the ass in the end as they shunned her at the RNC and she had to watch the rest of her family on stage from the bleachers.
