A Lesbian and an Unwed Mother too! Will Mary Cheney Soon Confess that She is Also a Flaming Liberal?
I'm sure you've heard that Mary Cheney has once again disgraced Dick.
Now the VP's lesbian daughter is flaunting her outsider status by taking on the stigma of unwed motherhood.
Of course, the rightwingers are having fits. Cuz when women undergo the trials of pregnancy, labor and birth without the blessing of a man in their house, they are sluts. And their 'fatherless' babes are illegitimate.
Any other way of framing it represents a wound to the sacred patriarchy.
The vice president's office confirmed Wednesday that Mary Cheney, 37, an executive at AOL, was expecting her first child with her partner of 15 years, Heather Poe. The vice president and his wife issued a statement saying they are "looking forward with eager anticipation to the arrival of their sixth grandchild."
. . . White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said that when Cheney told President Bush of Mary Cheney's pregnancy, "the president congratulated them and said he is very happy for them."
