So Lynne Cheney wanted to talk about her children’s book and only her children’s book. I get that but when you meet with the press, you answer what they ask you – TRUTHFULLY, particularly if you are the wife of the VP. What really bugs me though is what is wrong with Sisters or Body Politic that she has to talk around it or out and out LIE about what she wrote? Nothing. Not a single thing, whether you are liberal or conservative. She wrote fiction. Some of it sexy. Some of it not so much. Some of it straight and some of it queer. So what? You can still be a conservative “family values” republican and write fiction. You just can’t LIE and say it isn’t what it obviously IS. Well I guess you can, since Lynne Cheney did it.
The Cheney’s have never said they are for a ban of gay marriage. They have said out loud that they disagree with the amendment to “protect marriage”. So “Sisters” isn’t telling anyone anything that they should not already know. The left making a big deal of it isn’t really helpful either, except of course that it causes Mrs Cheney to lie, that part – that’s helpful, I suppose. The left trying to point out the Mrs Cheney has written steamy fiction isn’t all that helpful either. I somehow doubt any conservative is going to change his/her mind and vote liberal simply because the VPs wife wrote some steamy passages in Body Politic.
Politics, sheesh.
