Mary Cheney gave birth today to perhaps the most anticipated baby in contemporary U.S. politics -- her first child, Samuel David Cheney, whom she will raise with her longtime partner Heather Poe.
The 8-pound, 6-ounce boy is the sixth grandchild for Dick Cheney.

I agree.
As we watch these issues of life follow the spiral down to the Inferno, is it not clear that only the Catholic Church is right in every instance? OK, I’m Catholic, but my brothers in Christ must see the leadership the Catholic provides in this area.
Strap on your flame suit.
More importantly, will the child ever have the opportunity to know what genetic diseases he inherited from his paternal genes?
“Who planted the seed?”
I believe it is none of our business.
My sentiments exactly.
Contratulations.
I’m always happy to see a new life come into this world.
I guess Dick Cheney is going to have to be the male influence in his life. At least that’s positive.
I understand that some homosexuals take on opposite-sex roles, one being the male and one the female. I have actually encountered more of a thing where you have two women who dress and act like two men but who relate sexually as members of the opposite sex. I don't know if it ever works out where two women actually act/look like real women but are lesbian. Regardless, even a brief consideration of that displays the abnormality of it all. So "who is the daddy" is really quite a question. Maybe we should also ask, "Who is the role model?" Is he to see himself as a future male version of one of the females? Is he to see himself in homosexual men? Is he to see himself as growing up to be like grandpa? I suppose that last one is the best case scenerio, but then he would see himself as embracing homosexuality in his own children. I wonder if that includes sex between the children themselves. I mean why not? Whose morality says they shouldn't have sex? Or even sex between parents and children? Why not? Whose morality demands that be unacceptable?
Congratulations to Mother and friend!
My name and my Dad's name. She picks good names!
My dad hated the name Samuel. We always cringed inside when a salesman tried to be personable by calling him Sam! It always made me think of Jesus - "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."
So? They've been immoral for 16 years. Does that make them special?
I think you may be right
I hope the kid does well
The kid going to grow up with no dad and you have no problem with such a selfish act?
Grammy & Grampy can write a new book...”Sammy Has Two Mommies”.
You bad.
That's the problem. He will grow up without a role model for a boy--his dad.
I hope they send him to a private school or some place where he will have male role models. I wish him well, in any case--he will have a tough time, I'm afraid.
Whats that for ?
The whole morality issue is where lots of people have trouble. You have to really say there’s no difference between a mother and a father in a child’s life to accept that homosexual couples are just the same. And you have to reject morality to accept homosexual parents in the first place.
Very difficult situation for the VP and his wife. They surely love their daughter, yet cannot be happy with her life style.
Still, I'm sure they will love this little guy as much as their other grandchildren.
