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.

Congratulations to the whole Cheney family for their latest addition! :)

Every baby is welcome in this world! Congrats to the Veep and his family!

Lesbians are not known for their long relationships.

That's probably because they are not legally married. I know alot of people who stay together becuase of the legality mess and money ...of a divorce.....

[SolidWood]

I hope Samuel will spent a lot of time with Grampa Dick. Can’t think of a better man to be a role-model, apart from a real father.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Since Cheney is against same-sex marriage and his lesbian daughter is in a relationship and having a baby,

Cheney is not against it. At least he has never said so. No, he is against allowing the courts to decide, but his arguments tend to lean towards his being personally for it.

[UndauntedR]

So? They've been immoral for 16 years. Does that make them special?

I was responding to the broad brush. I commend their commitment to each other.

But that is impossible.

Two women cannot have intercourse and produce a child.

I’m so confused.

[Raycpa]

So. Who is the “Daddy?”

Only heterosexual couples have to make that info public.

Congratulations to the whole Cheney family for their latest addition! :)

What about the Poe family? Or better yet, what about the sperm donor family? He wasn't the immaculate conception.

I bless the life of the baby and mind my own business about the how and the who.

Until I see some baby pictures, I am assuming that Mary Cheney gave birth to a baby hammerhead through immaculate conception!

My name and my Dad’s name
My name and middle name are Bruce Walker - that is the President and VPs middle names!

What about the Poe family? Or better yet, what about the sperm donor family? He wasn't the immaculate conception.

The Poe family has no legal rights to the child.

Congratulations to the baby and family. Grandpa Cheney is a proud guy today. Good for him!!!!!

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I commend their commitment to each other.

Their sexual commitment, or do you go around commending all long-term friendships? I've had some friends for 35 years or more.

[EveningStar]

Good point. Congratulations to them too.

[Eternal_Bear]

The stork did a great job! Congratulations!

Who is the father?



?

Two women cannot have intercourse and produce a child.

Sure they can. Even my wife did.

[napscoordinator]

Your so funny. I believe that these two lesbians have been in a relationship for many years.
