Cheney's heart problems pretty much disqualify him from running. How many heart attacks did he have during the 8 years of the Bush admin? I remember reading that there was talk during the 2004 campaign that Bush might replace Cheney cause of his poor health. His daughter having a child isn't the deciding factor, the multiple bypasses are.

Reading of a child described as "politically unsavory" seems a new low for English-language writing, Gawker, and Belonsky in particular.
What is with all these: exclamation marks? "Despite her lesbianic ways..", somehow she's impregnated.. "queerly" . Ha ha.
Seriously: could do without the smirking ignorance on display here. Typed out from a frat house. "squeezing out this puppy"- are you like, 17?
Lesbians have kids all the time, why the fuck it's still a strange funny wonder to you to find rilly weird just seems really naive. Don't care about the wicked Cheney family's politics as having to read your bigoted, condescending and squeamish take on it. Oooh, gay parents! How weird! Ugh.
@Baroness: News flash! Cheney hates fags! If you don't think he sees this child as being "politically unsavory" on some level, then I'd like a lifetime prescription of whatever it is you're on. And if he doesn't, it's a testament to the Right's terrifying ability to compartmentalize personal and political realities in order to help them sleep better at night. I'm guessing you'd probably set a Bush twin with a black guy from New Orleans and insist that it was the best idea you've had since guacamole brownies. The internet is a big, vast place. I'm sure there's a more appropriate forum for a knee-jerk reaction, but you've failed miserably here.
@Baroness: ok, i'll give you that the writer didn't do a good job, but the point that her dad considers torture more lovable and politically expedient than her does stand.
imagine if he had pursued his daughter's right to marry or legally share custody of her child with the same commitment he showed to torture. clearly, the article's point is that cheney is the one who finds a child, his own and his grandchild, to be politically unsavory.
@StonedAndDethroned: Please link to some proof there, that "Cheney hates fags." I say this as a stone liberal.
The only damned good thing that that warmongering fuck has ever done is defend his daughter for being gay.
"Guess" about all the incoherent crap you want, "Stoned", I'm not sure where my "knee- jerk reaction" would find a home on the vast Internet- when i'm specificallly replying to Belonsky's snide article. Pal of his? Fine. Go tell your pal how to write a Gawker article that doesn't find gay people's families hilarious. And here's the prescription of what I'm on: Vicodin, 17 gin and tonics, and my middle finger in your face tonight. All right? Good, dismissed.
@StonedAndDethroned: I have to agree with the consensus. There's not much evidence that Cheney has anything against homosexuals.
During the Bush years, he'd say that the President sets the agenda. I believe Lynne took their family's lead on gay issues and a couple of months ago, after leaving office, he publicly and ceremoniously came out in favor of same-sex marriage.
Sure, he hung-out with Bush and he let Rove play the religious right, but that all seems to be a quest for power. There really hasn't been a lot of evidence that he supports a religious-based agenda and he's always seemed to go out of his way on his daughter's behalf.

I thought Obama's death panels were supposed to take care of this kind of events.

Do not force me to defend her honor. My wedgies will leave you practically tasting your underpants.

Her plans after maternity leave are to "begin a new consulting firm with her sister, Liz." Liz, of course, being the Birther Endorser.

Now, if Dickie became Prez, things might change but now, naw, nobody cares. I'm betting hardly anybody remembers her, her lover or their babeh!!

they maintain their privileges -- parenting rights for gays for example -- for themselves only
