I’m Not Ashamed of My Lesbian Daughter, Just Don’t Bring Her Up.
Yesterday’s Wolf Blitzer interview with Vice President Dick Cheney:
Q: We’re out of time, but a couple of issues I want to raise with you. Your daughter Mary, she’s pregnant. All of us are happy. She’s going to have a baby. You’re going to have another grandchild. Some of the — some critics, though, are suggesting, for example, a statement from someone representing Focus on the Family:
“Mary Cheney’s pregnancy raises the question of what’s best for children. Just because it’s possible to conceive a child outside of the relationship of a married mother and father, doesn’t mean it’s best for the child.”
Do you want to respond to that?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: No, I don’t.
Q: She’s obviously a good daughter –
THE VICE PRESIDENT: I’m delighted — I’m delighted I’m about to have a sixth grandchild, Wolf, and obviously think the world of both of my daughters and all of my grandchildren.
And I think, frankly, you’re out of line with that question.
Q: I think all of us appreciate –
THE VICE PRESIDENT: I think you’re out of — I think you’re out of line with that question.
I’m just curious, did Cheney call any of the self-appointed moral guardians who pontificated on his daughter’s situation “out of line”? Or is that sort of thing reserved for members of the press and Democratic Vice Presidential nominees?
