Mary Cheney worked on both her father’s Presidential campaigns. One of the Planks of the Bush/Cheney campaign was a Constitutional amendment to prohibit same-sex marriage. The appropriately named Dan Savage, rips into her for claiming that her decision to have a baby with another woman was a private matter with no political connections.

A brilliant and articulate column. Money qoute:

Again, Mary, nice try. You kept your mouth clamped shut when your father needed the political support of assholes like Dobson. And now that your dad is a despised lame-duck VP, dad’s gay-bashing political allies feel free to treat you with the same contempt with which they have long treated other gay and lesbians. And now you cry foul?

Sorry, Mary, and fuck you. You and your whole fucked-up family crawled into bed with bigots like Dobson when it suited you. And now you and your whole fucked-up family have some explaining to do. So welcome to the political debate, Mary, and remember…

Your side started it. It only serves you right that you’re going to have to finish it.
