6. Cause he's purty?

Seriously, Kerry did nothing wrong. Just because the Cheney's are ashamed of her daughter, tucked her away during the convention, wouldn't allow her onstage, and find her existence to be an insult - doesn't mean everyone feels this way.

Poor Mary Cheney. I would kill myself if my father and everyone he worked with tried to use me and then hide and marginalize me the way they do her. She allows herself to be used like a pawn and then discarded and hidden when convenient. She must really feel shitty about herself. Wonder what family skeletons have caused her to be so mentally screwed up as to allow that kind of crap.

8. There was

It was manufactured and short-lived, however. Among those on the Right, the general thrust was that Edwards had outed Mary Cheney. RWN's were calling into C-Span, flinging poo over at FR and Fark... the works. There was quite a bit of discussion on both/all sides here, too, IIRC.
