it was a subtly backhanded compliment. of course, it was framed innocently, but kerry just wants to remind bush's right wing base about the issue. didn't think it was such a big deal until today though. now the statement has much more attention.
they made fun of it on the daily show after the VP debate. Stewart kept emphasizing the phrase GAY DAUGHTER, getting louder and louder. something to the effect that Edwards kindly spoke of Cheney's GAY DAUGHTER, how much respect he had for his GAY DAUGHTER, that Cheney's GAY DAUGHTER should be treated equally under the law. the last time Stewart yelled GAY DAUGHTER, they made his voice echo. good stuff.
