I guess the feedback on Edward's talking about Cheney's daughter's personal life was good for the Dems, hence the bizarre, detailed explanation of 'Vice President Cheney's daughter being a lesbian' by Kerry, out of the blue, for no reason except to really bring it HOME to the three people in America who don't already know about it.
Very good point. In a country where people can't get enough gossip and the supermarkets can't keep enough National Enquirers on the racks, it makes sense that more people would know about Cheney's daughter than about, say, Cheney having formerly held the job Rumsfeld now has.
