Re: ...this article discusses the controversy over Kerry's comments re. Mary Cheney. What I find interesting is that Edwards brought up the same issue two weeks before and Cheney thanked him for his comments.

Well, below is the transcript of Senator Edwards' comment:

Now, as to this question, let me say first that I think the vice president and his wife love their daughter. I think they love her very much. And you can't have anything but respect for the fact that they're willing to talk about the fact that they have a gay daughter, the fact that they embrace her. It's a wonderful thing. And there are millions of parents like that who love their children, who want their children to be happy.

Do you see the nuance with Kerry's gauche innuendo? Edwards used thrice the word "love" and once the words "respect" and "embrace"... which naturally struck a chord with Cheney.

Here's Senator Kerry's out-of-the-blue comment:

"And I think if you were to talk to Dick Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian," Kerry continued, "she would tell you that..."

But when was the last time Sen Kerry talked to Mary Cheney, if ever?
