Cheney has maintained a 15-year relationship. She is now preparing to sacrifice the next few decades of her life to caring for a child. How selfish.

As far as I know, both Cheney and her husband/wife/roommate/partner/whatever are working women. So unless one of them is planning on giving up their career, this child will be raised, in effect, without either a true mother or father. But of course, children of the "elite" have always been abandoned by their parents and raised by nannies. That's why so many of them are so incredibly screwed up to begin with.

Both my parents worked. I don't feel that I was raised, in effect, without either a true mother or father. How insulting.
