One More Quote of the Day (Because everyone is so interesting today! Congratulations, all of you!)

This is a baby. This is a blessing from God. It is not a political statement. It is not a prop to be used in a debate by people on either side of an issue. It is my child.

—Mary Cheney, Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter, simultaneously stating the obvious—"this is a baby"—and denying the obvious ("It is not a political statement").

Hmm. Let's see. Well, her father's administration is against gay marriage, against gay people having children, against unmarried people having children, against gay people adopting children. Her mother writes patriotic children's books targeted at the children of heterosexual married parents. Mary Cheney has campaigned for her father and his boss in two elections, during which she never uttered a peep of dissent about the GOP's anti-gay positions. And she's gotten her Time-Warner job and a million-dollar book deal out of her political identity.

But now that it's her baby, nope, nothing political about it.....

What ghastly hypocrites these people are.  ¶ 11:53 AM
