So ... Lynne Cheney writing soft-core lesbian porn book is OK ...

[gauguin57]

... Kerry mentioning their VERY PUBLICLY GAY DAUGHTER, not OK.

Just wanted to be clear. OK. Got it.

[Lefta Dissenter]

1. Too bad there's not another debate

Kerry could do dramatic readings from Lynne's book! :D

[George W. Dunce]

3. You forgot

It's OK for a moderator of a debate to mention the fact that Cheneys daughter is gay and we can discuss it then, however when John Kerry mentions it, it's totally offensive.

[GiantCranes]

2. They are both OK

There is nothing wrong with either of them.

4. Welcome to DU, GiantCranes.

:hi:

(gauguin57 probably agrees with you and was just being sarcastic)

5. Anyone hear anyone but their other daughter

make an issue about Keyes comment
WHERE WAS LYNNE CHENEY: When Alan Keyes said Mary Cheney was practicing "selfish hedonism?"

She had a chance to directly respond to what Keyes said, but let her other daughter do the talking instead.

BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Lynne Cheney my guest now here in New York, along with her daughter, Liz.
HEMMER: I want to talk to Liz a second here and talk about your family.

Almost every interview you've done lately, this issue comes up. You have an openly gay sister. Her name is Mary. The reason I'm bringing it up, today, is because there was news on this issue last night.

Alan Keyes, who is here in New York as well, running for the Senate in Illinois, referred to Mary based on his definition, about how he sees gays in America as a selfish hedonist.

When you hear those words, how do you react?

LIZ CHENEY, DAUGHTER OF DICK CHENEY: I guess I'm surprised, frankly, that you would even repeat the quote, and I'm not going to dignify it with a comment?

HEMMER: Not even want to touch it, today?

L. CHENEY: It doesn't deserve a comment.

HEMMER: I know as a family you have always said, and you've said publicly, that you're OK with it, and you talk about it freely and openly. But this is something you don't want to address? Is that what you're...

L. CHENEY: No, I think that, you know, my father addressed the issue very plainly and very clearly. And, you know, what I like, though, my dad said frankly was how proud he is of both Mary and me, how much my parents, you know, take pride in both of our accomplishments.

(Keyes said: "The essence of ... family life remains procreation. If we embrace homosexuality as a proper basis for marriage, we are saying that it's possible to have a marriage state that in principal excludes procreation and is based simply on the premise of selfish hedonism."
Asked whether that meant Mary Cheney "is a selfish hedonist," Keyes said: "That goes by definition. Of course she is."Keyes took to the airwaves again Wednesday to try and put the remark in context. WBBM-AM, Chicago, reported he denied the comment was meant to slam Mary Cheney and blamed the media for taking a generalization and making it personal. Keyes said if he had a lesbian daughter he would love her but tell her she was sinning.(http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20040901-093347-1067r.htm)

6. Has Lynn Cheney always been a raging drunk?

Or is their impending defeat driving her to drink?

[SlavesandBulldozers]

7. she actually likes to discuss

choking on entire basketball teams for keg-rights back in school. I don't see why she gets all "indignant" when somebody casually mentions that her daughter is a lesbian.
