Cheney's daughter's sexual orientation is no more relevant than Kerry's daughters being hose-beasts. It was an inappropriate comment.

It's relevant because Cheney is on a ticket that supports an amendment that would curtail the rights of a group of people to which his daughter belongs.
The true hypocracy would be if Dick himself were gay. His daughter's being gay makes it close enough for most people who disagree with him.
