I'm hardly advocating that John Kerry should appologize for his comments, let me start by clearing that up. But one does have to wonder why his campaign seems obessed with bringing up Mary Cheney every opportunity that they get. Whatever the reasons, I can deal with that.
However, what I cannot deal with is Mrs. Edwards' comments yesterday. To imply that the Cheney's are ashamed of their daughter because of her lesbianism is not only low, but stupid. They have been open about her situation and every indication is that they are extremely supportive and open to her and her companion, even including her in family functions. Mary has also been a very active part of her father's campaign work. To suggest that they are ashamed of her because they resent their daughter being used as a political point is just absurd. Mrs. Edwards should be ashamed of herself.
The Democrats love to talk about Republicans using wedge issues, but it seems that they have no problem of trying to create controversy on their own. But then that is what happens when you're the party of no ideas.
