In a surprising (yet very likely vetted and scripted) exchange, Dick Cheney distances himself from Dubya’s hard line against gay marriage. What a compassionately conservative way to make news the week before the convention, no? Sure, Cheney probably does harbor some reservations about the religious right’s goofy stance on gay marriage, given his family relationship to the issue, and I suppose I should give him credit for mentioning them aloud. But, it’s hard to buy his second-thoughts now, when he’s been so silent on the topic these past few months…it’s too convenient by half.
One thought on “A Moment of Clarity.”

it’s the policy and legislative equivalent of domestic abuse:
bash us with constitutional amendments nationally and throughout the states
bash us with support for anti-sodomy laws
bash us with judicial nominees who hate us
bash us with discriminatory practices throughout the administration, the republican platform, and everywhere else
bash, bash, bash
and then, near the end, at the convention time, come to us and say ‘i do love you, here’s a flower’
it’s time to end to the cycle of violence
