Mary Cheney, the openly gay daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney and wife Lynne, is pregnant, according to a published report.
Mary Cheney, 37, and her partner of 15 years, Heather Poe, 45, are "ecstatic" about the baby, due in late spring, The Washington Post reported in Wednesday's editions, quoting an unnamed source close to the couple.
The vice president's other, older daughter, Elizabeth Cheney, is on leave as deputy assistant secretary of state after having her fifth child with her husband in July.
There was no formal announcement of either daughter's pregnancy from the vice president's office, but the Post quoted spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride as saying Tuesday night that "the vice president and Mrs. Cheney are looking forward with eager anticipation to the arrival of their sixth grandchild."
Mary Cheney, 37, was an aide to her father during the 2004 campaign, as was Elizabeth, and now is vice president for consumer advocacy at AOL.
The Post quoted the source close to the family as saying the circumstances of Mary Cheney's pregnancy will remain private. She and Poe moved from Colorado to Virginia a year ago to be closer to the Cheney family.
In an interview with the Post six months ago, when asked if she and Poe wanted children, Cheney said that was a "conversation I think I should have with Heather first."
I heard this this morning.
I thought, big deal, so are 10 million other women.
She's a woman. Thats what happen to women sometimes.
Who's the mother?
Bush's fault?
Let's face it, this "amazing pregnancy" is as shocking as Hillary once being pregnant with Chelsea. I'd say both situations work against the natural norms of biological science.
ROFLMAO!! I hope not! LOL
Good! There's some things I rather just not know.
Look for Kerry to bring this up in a debate in '08.
Obviously another coverup. First he shoots someone and doesn't notify the press and now this? ;-)
Well, after I'd ruled out Barney Frank ...
Ping
YIKES!!
Yay- We're so proud of her- Now, another baby can be brought up in a sinful household and learn to shun God and live a life free from moral values- Good going! http://sacredscoop.com
So who is the father?
I already feel sorry in advance for the kid, who will almost certainly take plenty of abuse during his formative years in school, all of today's politically correct brainwashing notwithstanding.
At least this unwed mother won't be going on welfare.
