92. "Cheney is in the public eye, but to put him on the hot seat for the choices his daughter makes is wrong. And you all know it"

thanks, bob. You can copy my posts word for word any time you want to and take credit for it. I'm honored, lol.

93. Theresa, I had thought that tmz.com was a media/gossip site, not a political one.

Cheney wants his family life to be off limits, then perhaps he should do a bit more to prevent his party from interfering in other people's family lives. You can't support a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, oppose legislation that would forbid discrimination against gays and lesbians, and inexplicably keep them out of the military (a military in which he's never served) and at the same time, declare that it's DIFFERENT because it's YOUR DAUGHTER. No, it's not. Every other gay person is someone else's son or daughter, and he's got no problem demonizing them or promoting discrimiation against them. He doesn't like the questions? Too fscking bad. Those questions wouldn't be asked if there weren't such a blatant disconnect between his publically-stated policy stance and his personal life.
He's a public figure trying to have it both ways. Doesn't work, no matter how often the old windbag blows up on the air. He still looks like a hypocrite.

94. I just wanted to say that I am being raised by 2 men that are both my fathers that love and care for me dearly, I am not at all "confused" about the situation. They send me to the best school and are both active in all my school activities. We are raised with morals and have been taught from right from wrong, and was taught to love everyone and not judge unlike most of you, so who is being raised right here? I also have a sister as well, so for all you that have poison minds you are the ones that need the help not us.

95. Amy #74 is the Amy I was referring to, I just noticed another amy...and all she thought was that 'Dick was inflamed' was way funny.......sorry not the common sense I was pointing out.....LOL!

96. Bush, Cheney and his administration should be IMPEACHED for the Iraq mess, Kartrina mess AND the Trillion dollar defecit this country is in, not to mention the countless times they have VIOLATED the Constitution...No wonder immigrants are returning to their homeland. I'm sure a third world country will be better than this if Bush continues to run this country!!! Can't wait for '08 election!!!!!!

97. Hey Tyler, I know a dude in Missouri that works at a pizza parlor that wouldn't mind taking you in, poor kid.

98. He's the worst kind of hypocrite there is. His Administration (let's face we all know Bush is too dumb to be in charge of anything) promotes law against gays rights. While out the other side of his snake like mouth comes the inability to face the fact that his daughter is gay and should have the same rights as any other American.

I hope to God this country can hold on for two more years. TIC TOC!!!

99. I think most of you are misrepresenting Mr. Cheney's thoughts. I completely understand his logic. I have a gay sister who I live with and I love her and respect her. However, we obviously have extremely different political views. I have told her that I do not think that same sex marriages should be allowed. Just because VP Cheney says he is excited about having another grandchild does not mean that he supports his his daughter's lifestyle or that he is a hypocrite. I fully believe that as the father of a lesbian he does not support her lifestyle or gay marriage, but the key is he loves her as I love my sister.

100. I thought there were rules about adding comments to this site. "Inappropriate comments may be removed"---then why didn't you remove the idiot who signed his comment--and added his email---godhatesfags.com? I would call that incredible inappropriate--wouldn't you?

101. wow.....another reason im becoming ashamed of the people in this country is when i read stuff like this....80% of the comments left on here were like whew way out there. I dont even know why i was looking at this article but somehow i started reading the comments left by people and realized that such a divided country with all sorts of crazy people will be the downfall of this great nation eventually...so sad

102. I applaud Cheney for his eloquent way of telling Blitzer he was out of line and showed true devotion and love to his children and grandchildren's right to privacy and protection, regardless of who their father/grandfather is. Blitzer came off as an idiot with no shame and willing to go after the children of public officials.

104. I understand the question that Wolf was trying to ask.....How can that duality exist, especially in a person holding the position that Cheney does. It is a legitimate question that has every right to be posed. However, I do believe that there were more appropriate ways to bring it up that didn' t have to involve his family, his daughter, and an innocent, unborn child. Any father would get defensive in that situation. I understand to some degree where they were both coming from. As a reporter, Wolf has the responsibility to get the answers to the questions that Americans are asking. And Cheney has the responsibility to answer, but he also has a responsibility first and foremost to his daughter. He dosent neccessariy have to alter his opinions and values to validate his daughters actions.

105. I'm not a big fan of Cheney. I personally think he's as disreputable & corrupt as they come in Washington DC; the stereotypical political hack. If he got indicted & sent to prison for leaking the identity of that CIA operative, I wouldn't shed a tear. However, Wolf Blitzer should remember that he's supposed to be asking NEWSWORTHY questions, not audition for a job with Entertainment Tonight or Extra. Skewer this jerk on his extraordinarily poorly planned & executed Iraq policy or not giving a damn about the average American who's working hard just to keep up with where they were last year; leave the guys daughter out of it.
