– So her door swings both ways….Whats the big deal….Bi’s are a hot comodity. BTW is “rank tail” a note from Edwards VPres. debate script?
Oooooooohhh! She’ll feel all warm and fuzzy now, like her life is totally complete! This is even better than getting a puppy!
But for the kid? Not so much.
If it’s a boy, which Mommy will teach it to be a man? And if it’s a girl, which lesbian is going to teach it how to relate with men?
BBh–
No big deal. I just thought the headline was funny. This poster seems to think that it’s a big enough deal to write that it shouldn’t be a big deal, though.
Pablo disagrees, and I have some sympathy for his POV, but still, a stable couple is, to my mind, a much better situation than a single mom.
Dan, on the continuum, sure it is. And getting one leg chewed off by an alligator off is better than getting two legs chewed off by an alligator, which is still better than getting two legs and an arm chewed off. But remaining intact is best, and why even have kids if you’re not planning from the start to put them in the best situation possible? One word: Selfishness.
And speaking of which, what if the “partner” begins to feel herself being squeezed out of Mary’s attentions in favor of a kid that she’s got no biological imperative to care for? Then where is the kid? Single mom, no male role model, etc…
Everyone’s choice is not just as good as everyone else’s. For The Children™, that is.
Awwwww….. What a cute little turkey baster!
He’s got his dad’s rubbery bulb.
Nah, she is not Jewish.
– Hmmmmm… “Religious Conservatives Hate Dick Cheney’s Daughter”…See what you mean Dan. SecProggs certainly have a rich imagination. Hopeful almost.
– Wonder how long it would take Kerry or Edwards to have a nervous breakdown if it turns out their daughters are Gay. All that tolorance has a heavy down side when it’s you “bunny” that’s getting “Gored”.
I definately celebrate the birth of any child and two people of the same-sex loving one another dearly but when I hear announcements like this I wonder where is the Sperm.
Words have meaning and on a semantic level, even with all of the technology available there is no such thing as gay parents. Love doesn’t make a baby, sperm and egg do.
I was amused by the news crawl on our local 24 hour newschannel (CLTV in Chicago):
“Cheney’s lesbian daughter pregnant”
I’m guessing this is the media’s “IT ABOUT THE HYPOCRISY!” spin on this: “evil Repubs against gay adoption and ‘non-traditional’ families, and here’s Cheney’s rugmunchin’ offspring reproducing.”
Which makes me wonder: if/when Chelsea gets pregnant, are we then allowed to shout about the hypocrisy if she doesn’t get an abortion?
No? Huh, funny how that works.
Funny, I don’t ever remember ever seeing “Cheney’s Hetrosexual (except-that-one-time-in-college) daughter pregnant” on the news scroll.
For that matter, should we start announcing positions used during the conception?
Do you know what you’re having?
I think it’s a puppy, because we did it doggie style.
(I did use that joke once – but in my defense, being pregnant 5 times in 6 years, you do get a bit bored of the question.)
Does this have anything to do with that ”Paris Hilton wants a baby” story from yesterday?
Hmmm. Paris Hilton…Mary Cheney. The mind boggles.
And reels.
They made her in a cup! Like soup!
I love how some news reports say the “couple is expecting”.
No. Mary Cheney is expecting. Her Partner is just hanging out since she had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Come on, SGT! Squeezing the baster is exactly like being a father!
SEXIST!!!
It just occurred to me that I could make a killing if I invented a strap on baster. Don’t nobody steal my idea!
Pablo, hope you’ve got a drink going, ‘cause this’ll give you the perfect spit take.
Seriously, it’s an unusually happy day in what must be a pretty tough go of things for Mary and her pal.
Wish ‘em the best, man.
Jeez. I think the kid will have a pretty good male role model, no? A father is best, but a grandpa like that might make up for a bit.
And hey, she’s doing her part in the Demography Wars.
Of course, being that it is what it is, and what’s done is done. Now the kid in the video, has a different deal. Odds are, he got an upgrade from his previous situation. The sing along is what really frightens me.
kate, do you think old Dead Eye Dick is going to be child rearing?
Kids are pretty malleable things. I know it’s cliche, but as long as they get a lot of attention and love they usually turn out OK.
The truly hateful thing is that the MSM, because Dick Cheney is conservative, somehow think this is newsworthy.
