Heard on the Hill: Bono Mack’s Daughter Is Expecting

Chianna Bono, daughter of the late Rep. Sonny Bono (R-Calif) and Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.), is pregnant with her first child, the website Contact Music reported Wednesday.

Bono, 20, is expecting a baby with boyfriend Mark Hrabe, 51. The couple is planning to wed, though HOH hasn’t learned when.

Bono Mack told Star Magazine that the news was “unexpected.” We assume that she was referring to the pregnancy, but perhaps the wedding as well?

<snip>

“Chianna is happy and in love,” Bono Mack tells HOH. “She is positively glowing, and that is what is important.”

Bono Mack followed the Republican Party line 89% of the time according to Congressional Quarterly. In 2004, she earned an 84% approval rating from the Christian Coalition of America,<2> but this fell to 33% in 2008.<3> In 1999, she voted in favor of the Largent Amendment,<4> to ban adoption by same-sex couples in Washington, D.C.<5> Bono has, however, voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment twice.

So, unwed 20 year-old daughters of Congress Women can have a baby... but gay couples cannot adopt.

Stay classy, Bono Mack.

6. Adoption

Many childless couples would cherish an infant. Make someone happy, answer their prayers.

8. She has a great career opp now as a Chastity Advocate (R)

Other RepubliCons just lap the kinda HypocriCrap up.

9. I hope they're happy, but it's none of my business: it's just more lazy-ass celebrity-cult news

The only reason Sonny ended up in Congress is because he had name-recognition as "he's Sonny! of Sonny and Cher!"

The only reason that Mary ended up in Congress is because she had name-recognition as "she's the fourth wife of Sonny! of Sonny and Cher!" after poor Sonny skied into a tree and died, ending his Congressional career

The only reason Chianna is in the news is because she has name-recognition as "she's the daughter of Sonny! of Sonny and Cher!"

I guess Sonny and Cher were popular in their day. I Got You Babe hit the top:

But it's not much reason to put Chianna in the public eye

I never liked Sonny's politics, and I don't like Mary's politics

But that's not much reason to put Chianna in the public eye, either

10. Hell, I'm 49 and even I wouldn't be messing with a 20 year old woman

Other than my opinion that most 20 year olds are still out of their fucking minds at that age and they can't legally drink, we would have absolutely nothing in common.

I give the marriage a generous six months.

11. 51?

whoa

12. Why do they think a marriage certificate has magic properties?

A state sponsored screwing license will NOT make a person love you, or like you, or respect you, or support you.
So why do Republicans think marriage will make a relationship wonderful????

I have never gotten a proper answer. I've been divorced from two men who did not take marriage seriously. They were downright cruel to me in many ways that I would never admit to anyone, because they were shocking.

I am NOT talking about physical abuse or hitting. I'm talking emotional/psychological stuff.

Any answer to this question?
