Did anyone else catch the recent flap about Lynne Cheney\’s book Sisters?
Apparently she wrote the book wayyy back in 1981, but I came across a Huffington Post article that led me to another website that led me back to Huffington Post for this article that has the transcript of a Wolf Blitzer interview with the VPs wife.
That\’s comedy. Let that be a lesson to any young writers out there, your books can come back to haunt you later in life.Â
Personally I find the whole thing amusing. Especially when Republicans get a taste of the tactics a certain group of them have used for the past 15 years or so. I\’d normally argue that this shouldn\’t have any bearing on politics and there is no good reason to harass Lynne Cheney on this; but that went out the window as soon as her husband and the president started campaigning on their personal beliefs instead of real issues. If you are going to campaign on a platform based on keeping a segment of society from having certain legal privileges based on sexual orientation, and you have a daughter who is a lesbian and a wife who\’s written a book on lesbian love… well maybe that is something of note afterall.Â
