Politics, personal lives and children

The outrage on the right about Kerry mentioning Mary Cheney's lesbianism as blessed by G_d has been twisted by Limbaugh and co. as an outing of Mary by Kerry. Yet, it is she and her father who share that honor.

Randy Rhodes on airamericaradio.com makes a brilliant point, "You're conservative and you're upset about the personal becoming political? I've got two words for you

Bill Clinton."

Worried about children being dragged into the political fray?

Monica Lewinsky (24)
Chelsea Clinton (who got to hear about her father's sex life in public for a year)

Mary Cheney is the gay outreach coordinator for Coors. She is her father's campaign manager.
Hardly a private issue, hardly a child.
