SSONET.com.au : Where is Mary Cheney?

"America’s gay and lesbian community is asking why Mary Cheney, the lesbian daughter of US vice president Dick Cheney, did not join her family on stage at last week’s Republican National Convention in New York.

During her father’s speech Mary and her partner Heather Poe had been sitting in the audience with the rest of Cheneys. But when it came time for the whole family to appear on stage Mary and Heather had disappeared from the hall."

Amazing that Mary Cheney wasn't present with the rest of her family. That's a real low blow, not like the fake "low blow" being fabricated by a stinging Republican party:

"Fox debate panelist Mort Kondracke said Kerry's "outing" of Mary Cheney was a calculated effort to damage the Bush-Cheney ticket in the eyes of conservative voters.

"I think it was totally underhanded - the outing of Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter. ... And it struck me as a low blow designed to weaken the Bush-Cheney team with right-wingers who might not know that Dick Cheney has a lesbian daughter," he said"

Dick Cheney should be proud of his daughter, but he's not. That's the real low blow -- having the President of the United States upset because the opponent mentioned you.
