Sensitive Issues

I'm confused. It's this whole Mary-Cheney's-A-Lesbian-But-Don't-Dare-Call-Her-That thing.

Apparently John Kerry was a "son of a bitch" for saying that Mary Cheney is a lesbian during the presidential campaign in 2004. I guess it's because Repulicans have a well-known aversion to the truth. Good thing he didn't call Mary's dad a "Dick".

Oh, and I love the little bit about about Ms. C looked right at John Edwards and mouthed the words "Go F**k Yourself" — "mouthing" is so much more genteel than saying aloud, apparently. Everyone, by the way, quotes her with the asterisks — did she mouth the asterisks or did she use the Cheney-trademark phrase? Quelle butche!

But here's the conundrum. Apparently her new book is all about how normal is her relationship with her parents, about how they accept her and love her as she is without reservation,* etc., i.e., how indifferent they are all to the issue of her lesbianism.

And yet! And yet, Kerry is vilified for mentioning a "sensitive family issue", an "issue" that Ms. Cheney now is promoting as a non-issue, something that couldn't be less "sensitive".

My opinion: this dyke has a few issues to work out with herself.

*Provided, of course, that she doesn't do something silly and un-Republican like fall in love and want to get married.

    obviously, haughty, mean and nasty runs in the family. This trait seems to manifest itself in the hurling of epithets and four-letter expletives at anyone deemed annoying.

    Lesbian or straight, there's a five-letter word for females of her type, and it fits her to a T.
