The Million Dollar Staffer
Like her father's misbegotten war in Iraq, Mary Cheney's book is backfiring. Just as Dick thought the Iraqis would throw flowers at our troops and greet them as liberators, Mary imagined her tome would liberate her from being perceived as a lesbian lackey. But instead of roses, people are roiled and "Now It's My Turn" makes Mary appear more sycophantic than sympathetic.

Time and again, Mary is confronted with opportunities to educate America and voice her opposition to President Bush's promotion of the Federal Marriage Amendment. Like clockwork, each possibility is squandered with aplomb and justified with solipsistic rationalizations.

For example, at the 2004 GOP Convention in New York, right wing activist Alan Keyes called Mary Cheney a selfish hedonist. At the same time, George W. Bush was stumping for the Federal Marriage Amendment. During this whole gay bashing debacle, Mary Cheney was completely silent.

In her book, she justifies not responding to Keyes by claiming that she was more "baffled" by his statement than "offended." This reaction was odd, because in the Vice Presidential debate, John Edwards merely said she was a lesbian, and Mary looked right at him and mouthed the unmentionable.

Will the LGBT community ever get tired of kicking Mary Cheney?

God, I hope not! :spank:

4. I read that and I couldn't believe what she was saying.
She was "baffled" at the blantantly homophobic swill that Alan Keyes was spewing...

But yet, she called John Kerry a "son of a bitch" for saying something nice and accepting about her in that debate?

God, what a hypocrite. And no, I certainly won't get tired of kicking Mary Cheney.
