You'd normally think that The Today Show would have buried Kerry's lesbian debate jab in the same deep-sixed vault reserved for Swift Boat allegations, Kerry campaign's threats to Sinclair broadcasting and the mystery surrounding Kerry's military discharge. But, surprise! Calling it the issue of "the L-word," the controvery led Today this morning...

"Kerry's statement was not a magnanimous gesture but a calculated political move intended to undermine Pres. Bush's culturally conservative base."

Which is exactly why they're repeating it on the "Today" show -- they want to make sure any stay-at-home moms who might have missed the debate know about Mary Cheney.

That's a bit too machiavellian view of things for me. I can't believe the Kerry campaign was pleased to have Katie question Kerry's motives or have Dee Dee criticize him.
