Murphy Brown is a fictional character on television, thus slamming the writers for being liberal idiots isn't actually making life choices on behalf of others. As I say, we may not like Mary Cheney's lifestyle, and by no means should we be cheerleading it, but at the same time, as she's not using it as a political scheme to shove the gay rights agenda down others throats - it's something that is tolerable and should be tolerated.

Murphy Brown may have been a fictional character, but women in real life make the same choice she did and want everyone to say it is fine and dandy and affirm their actions. Conservatives mostly didn't affirm or congratulate such actions back during the Dan Quayle/Murphy Brown hubub, so why are we doing it now?
But it will be used to shove the gay rights agenda down our throats.
