Wow---gays can't visit each other when they're in the hospital, or arrange for funerals. I had no idea about this. THANK YOU, JOHN EDWARDS!!!--
----Cheney just copped out by thanking JE for saying nice things about his family, when he should have accused him of bringing up the issue "to divide the country", which is what Edwards accuses him of.

"Cheney just copped out by thanking JE for saying nice things about his family, when he should have accused him of bringing up the issue "to divide the country", which is what Edwards accuses him of." I think Cheney just told the country, "I'm not going to talk about my family here in a public forum." I think that gained him points.

I thought it was classy how Cheney 'copped out'.

"when he should have..." He was following good rhetorical practice. Edwards already solidly put his foot in it. Cheney did as little as possible to obscure the fact.
