I have nothing to add, but I'll say it anyway.

It was fair game. The Veep introduced her to the millions of folks watching to score political points (just like every other politician) and placed his daughter's sexuality in the public domain.

Sen. Kerry was asked a question to which Cheney's daughter's sexuality was relevant. He used it to score political points with the television audience (again, just like very other politician.) Also, I might add, had Sen. Kerry tried to anecdotalize his response and speak of some illusionary "parents" with a gay child, he would have been lambasted by these same people. "We know who he's "really" talking about, right" would flood the airwaves along with talk of how disrespectful the candidate had been. It was a lose/lose situation for Kerry, but I think he did the right thing. There was no denigration. I think he tried to handle as best he could considering the options.

This indignatious outrage from Lynne Cheney is far from genuine and is only an attempt to score, you guessed it, more political points with the American people.

The only opinion I would truly care to hear regarding Mary Cheney's sexuality and this election is Mary Cheney's. Anyone elses opinion, as Averett so eloquently put it, is sound and fury, folks.
