Does Hallmark make a Father's Day card for this?
Vice President "Dick" Cheney was on with Wolf Blitzer the other night, selling the same old brand of snake oil. In a sharp contrast to President Bush's new Rodney King "Can't we all just get along" tone, Cheney was unrepentant, arrogant and being as obstinate as ever. It's hard to describe him as anything but as an "angry old white guy."
I find it interesting that Cheney gets angry whenever someone mentions his daughter Mary. Mary Cheney is a lesbian and is currently pregnant, presumably through the means of artificial insemination. The Veep refuses to discuss the issue, in this case telling Wolf that he was "out of line." Why is that out of line? The administration's political base is made up off conservatives who are probably offended at Ms. Cheney's lifestyle. For any other politician I would find this subject out of bounds, also. But not for these guys who have crossed the Potomac river, walking on the backs of evangelicals. I think that bad boy Cheney needs to 'fess up with his religous minions. I hope that if he ever does so, he will truly defend his daughter and her lifestyle choices instead of ducking the issue.
