The two real Marys in the Republican Party – Matalin and Cheney – have obviously been working hard. First was Dick Cheney’s astonishingly enlightened defense of gay relationships in the vice-presidential debate. Now, it’s Lynne’s turn to dent the image she gained of being unsupportive of her lesbian daughter in the wake of Cheney’s nomination. In an interview in yesterday’s Washington Times, Cheney is asked whether she will continue to speak out against inappropriate and hateful products from the popular culture: ‘Q: Any people you’re thinking of speaking out on? A: I haven’t really focused on anything except for the amazing prospect of a man like Eminem, who is so full of hate and so outspoken in his hatred of women and gay people – that’s just really got my attention focused right now. That he’d not only win not just a Grammy [award] but, apparently, the biggest Grammy.’ A defense of gay people from wanton hate-speech. What next? After Eminem, will Lynne finally take on the Weekly Standard?
