Cheney finally out of the closet: He loves his daughter

Dick Cheney finally found the guts to affirm his own daughter:

"Lynne and I have a gay daughter, so it's an issue our family is very familiar with," Cheney said. "With the respect to the question of relationships, my general view is freedom means freedom for everyone ... People ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to.

It's about time. I always wondered how he could look her in the eye.

Doubtless the Theocons from the Christian Right, including Bush, will try to take a big chunk out of his hide. Can you really blame them? I mean he said his piece on the same day the President reaffirmed his support for his pet amendment.

It's either a tear in the fabric of the campaign or a clumsy attempt to reconnect with the Log Cabin Republicans. Either way it's an affirmation for all who opposse republican homophobic lunacy.
