Who's saying they shouldn't be treated with respect? But talking about "mother in laws" is more than respect, it's kowtowing.
Suppose you knew someone with a bestiality fetish. Naturally such a person deserves the respect that every human being is due. But his mental illness/dysfunction is not respectable. The same thing goes for any sexual deviant. Sounds like Rice and Mrs Bush are going out of their way to be supportive of the "gay" agenda, and this does not go over well with actual conservatives.

Oh, bovine feces! This is just one more case of the perpetually-offended finding just one more reason to be ticked off at President Bush and his administration.
The guy's qualified for the job. Who cares if Condi called the guy's partner's mother a mother-in-law. Talk about blowing crap out of proportion...
So, if you're so angry at President Bush, go vote for the Constitution Party candidates. You, too, can help the Democrats take over. Won't that be nice, little jeremiah.
Go find some real issue to talk about. This one doesn't qualify. It's a non-starter.
