I expect Keyes would tell you his daughter is a selfish hedonist as well.

Then why didn't he? He had a live microphone in his hand. He could have informed the world while he was busy talking about Mary Cheney.

Given that Keyes knew his daughter considered herself a lesbian when he made the statement about the Cheney's daughter, the undeniable implication of his statement was that he considered his own daughter's decision to be hedonistic as well. Do you really believe he would believe otherwise about his daughter's decision? Alan Keyes is not a dishonest man.

I found it easy to draw the inference. Maya Keyes likely did too. I'm sure you can manage the easy leap as well.

I suppose if you were the reporter interviewing Keyes on the topic of queer marriage you would have asked more intelligent and probing questions for your headline, like "Does this mean Liberace was a selfish hedonist?" or perhaps "Does this mean Rock Hudson was a selfish hedonist?"

Those who are intellectually honest know who brought up Mary Cheney and why, and who was otulining a position on queer marriage. Your head is jammed up the twin rear ends of "party uber alles" and the Bush/Cheney cult, and I quite expect your rendevous with intellectual honesty are as rare and brief as a typical liberal's are.
