Out and About with Mary Cheney

After reading my October 18 entry, John pointed out an op-ed piece from the NY TImes in which William Safire said that very few people knew Mary Cheney was gay until the debate. To avoid on-line subscription issues, here is Media Matters report . If you knew Mary was gay before the debate you are evidently a "media junkie". The title would seem to fit anyone who watches the news since lately junk is all anyone has been getting.

A simple Google search indicated to me that even the casual reader of that obscure literati rag USA Today would have known Mary was out, as well as anyone who watched the vice-presidential debate (okay, that may have been more truly for political junkies). It seems to me that not only are Lynne and Dick dealing with some shame issues, but Bush/Cheney's base is as well. They are doing anything they can to keep voters' eyes off of the complete disaster this administration has created.

More on what they DON"T want you to focus on later.
