The Cheneys and privacy

Dick Cheney had it exactly right when he was miffed that John Edwards brought up his lesbian daughter during his veep debate in 2004. So was Lynne Cheney when she ripped JF Kerry a new one, calling him "not a good man" for pulling the "cheap and tawdry political trick" of mentioning their lesbian daughter to make a political point.

I remember hearing a lot, and empathizing a lot, with the idea that the Cheney's daughter had no business being dragged into the public eye in such a way.

So what to make of the Cheneys releasing an official photo to the press of them with their new granddaughter -- the result of artificial insemination in their daughter's lesbian relationship?

Congrats to the Cheneys for the new member of the family. But there is either a media blackout on the kids of politicians, or there isn't.
