I have probably made it clear I am a liberal (and proud of it!) To bring out the fact that Cheney's daughter is a lesbian is stating fact. It's not like we all didn't know she was a lesbian. If Bush pointed it out, I sincerely don't think it would be made a big deal since this country, in general, is a pretty conservative nation.

I am sure all political figures' children expect to be put in the spotlight at some point in their lives. Their lives, personalities, careers, schools, etc. will be scrutinized. Theirs won't be as scrutinized as much as their parents' lives but it will happen. Like the old saying goes, "Such is Life."
