How does Mary Cheney get to say this?
“When Heather and I decided to have a baby, I knew it wasn’t going to be the most popular decision,” Ms. Cheney said, referring to her partner of 15 years, Heather Poe. She then gestured to her middle — any bulge disguised by a boxy jacket — and asserted: “This is a baby. This is a blessing from God. It is not a political statement. It is not a prop to be used in a debate, on either side of a political issue. It is my child.”
How does she get to say that
and how does Dick Cheney get to tell Wolf Blitzer to back off? and how does Dubya get to say “when I was young and stupid, I was young and stupid”?
When the rightwing spent years and years foaming at the mouth over Bill Clinton’s sex life?
Are Democrats such wimps?? Or is the press coverage skewed?? Or what?
(Not, mind you, that I think she’s wrong. But if she wants the privilege, then it should be granted to other folk.)
