Mary Cheney in the crossfire

It's amazing how both the right and the left use her to score political points.

I saw in a blog somewhere where a Democrat sarcastically said how nice it was that Bush allowed Mary and her partner share the stage with them after the election was over.

And now I find this piece in the Andrew Sullivan Blog.

TIME FOR HEALING WATCH: "Joe Glover, president of the Family Policy Network, has worked tirelessly for family values, including the fight against legalized homosexual 'marriage.' He says it was conservative Christians who put the president back in office and who held to the belief that the president shared their views. But Glover says the day after the election, that all seemed to go out the window. 'The day after George Bush was elected president again, because of this morals revolution taking place in our country, he allows his vice president to not only put his lesbian daughter on the platform, but to bring her lesbian 'partner' up on the stage with him,' Glover says. 'It almost seems to be a slap in the face from the get-go against the very conservatives that re-elected the president at a time when he ought to paying them some homage and respect.' Glover says the Cheney daughter's open flaunting of her homosexuality is the antithesis of what the administration claims to stand for -- and that the post-election display sends a mixed message to Bush supporters." - Randy Pugh, from the American Family Association's Agape Press.

If both the left and right are attacking...it tells me that Mary being there was the right thing.
