When Lynne said this...

On Sunday, when ABC's Cokie Roberts started to ask the GOP vice presidential nominee's wife about having a daughter who has "declared she's openly gay," an irate Lynne Cheney shot back: "Mary has never declared such a thing." Cheney then blasted the media for its interest in the story, and chided Roberts: "I'm surprised, Cokie, that even you would want to bring it up on this program."

...four years ago, Mary Cheney had already served as the G/L/B/T liason for Coors Brewing Co., a job she took because, as Mary herself put it, "I knew several other lesbians who were very happy here" and was engaged in G/L/B/T outreach for the Republican Party.

So when Elizabeth Edwards said this...

"She's overreacted to this and treated it as if it's shameful to have this discussion. I think that's a very sad state of affairs. ... I think that it indicates a certain degree of shame with respect to her daughter's sexual preferences. ... It makes me really sad that that's Lynne's response."

...it appears she was exactly, entirely, sadly right.
