IF.....

If the parties were switched and Cheney and family were democrats; the picture would not simply be Dick and Lynne with the grandchild.

It would be of the grandparents with Mary AND Heather featured prominently. Oh yes, and the baby, too.

Yes, and Karl Rove's religious beliefs (or lack thereof), would be celebrated, but they aren't, and they've done a good job of balancing their beliefs with their career(s) and without it taking the spotlight off of what many supporters believe - I don't think I've met anybody truly alienated by Cheney's beliefs (although some do profess to being uncomfortable with his support of his daughter and such unions).
