CORAOPOLIS, Pa. Lynn Cheney says John Kerry's reference to her daughter in last night's debate was a "cheap and tawdry political trick."
Kerry was asked by the moderator if homosexuality is a choice. He noted that Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter Mary is a lesbian. Kerry said Mary Cheney would probably say that she was born that way. Lynn Cheney says Kerry invaded her family's privacy.
She says it gave her another chance to "assess" John Kerry, and she says it only reinforced her opinion that "This is not a good man." Cheney says she's "speaking as a mom, and a pretty indignant mom."
She made the comments while introducing the Vice President to a crowd of 800 Pittsburgh-area supporters. Dick Cheney didn't mention the topic in his remarks.
She really tore into Kerry big time. Go Lynne!! Too bad I missed what she had to say about Alan Keyes a couple months ago. I bet that was over the top!!
