Tata guest blogs again:
Perhaps the funniest thing to happen to our country since people who hate Jews started shouting about antisemitism was this week's announcement that the King of All Homo Haters' quisling daughter is preggers. By a man! And miraculously without one! Blessings upon the head of Pam, who, like Mr. b, reads the Freepers so you don't have to. Our poor wingnuts are pouting and stomping their feet. Their blond corporate princess is chock full of Sapphic surprises!
"They're deliberately bringing a child into the world without a father, leaving a great gaping hole. Father absence is the biggest problem we're facing in this country," she said, and "the root cause of all sorts of negative outcomes — drug use, juvenile delinquency. You name it." -- Janice Course of Concerned Women for America, on ABC “It's very disappointing that a celebrity couple like this would deliberately bring into the world a child that will never have a father. They are encouraging people who don't have the advantages they have.” -- Crouse, bleating for AP; she also referred to the Cheney pregnancy as "unconscionable."
Disappointing? Don't take this personally, Janice, but anything that pisses you off makes me do the Happy Dance. The only thing that'd make me happier would be Reverend Dobson's grandchildren joining Cirque du Soleil.
I think it's tragic that a child has been conceived with the express purpose of denying it a father. Fatherhood is important and always will be, so if Mary and her partner indicate that that is a trivial matter, they're shortchanging this child from the start....Mary and Heather can believe what they want. but what they're seeking is to force others to bless their nonmarital relationship as marriage and to create a culture that is based on sexual anarchy instead of marriage and family values." -- Robert Knight, director of the Culture and Media Institute of the Media Research Center.
Mr. Knight is plainly perturbed that any hot girl-on-turkey-baster action took place without him - shall we say - in the kitchen. Poor Mr. Knight! I hope someone explains to him that babies are conceived for the express purpose of playing "Boo! Peek!"
Carrie Gordon Earll, a policy analyst for the conservative Christian ministry Focus on the Family, expressed empathy for the Cheney family but depicted the newly announced pregnancy as unwise. “Just because you can conceive a child outside a one-woman, one-man marriage doesn't mean it's a good idea. Love can't replace a mother and a father.”
Ms. Earll is also having issues because all the PlayDoh ashtrays on earth won't melt Mommy's icy heart. Just look how she turned out! Nobody really needs love - just a Mommy, a Daddy and a lock on your bedroom door! Bonus comedy points to Mary Cheney for playing with the roaring fire Daddy built and assuming she'd never need an extinguisher. As lovers of slapstick everywhere know: you can't go wrong with the classics.




Poor Janice, the great gaping hole she should worry about is the one inside her Dear Leader's skull. I can't wait to hear what Pat and Jerry say. Will Mary Cheney be the cause of the next 9/11?

"As lovers of slapstick everywhere know: you can't go wrong with the classics." Ah, we get it now, Mary Cheney is a slapstick lesbian. Does that mean even spawns of you-know-who can have immaculate conception?

The only thing that would make this better is if the due date were Dec 25.

"They're deliberately bringing a child into the world without a father, leaving a great gaping hole."
Really, I mean. just look at Brittney Spears for example.

"slapstick lesbian"...lol

Look.....
Lynne Cheney writes lesbian fantasy novels, and Mary has actually gone over to the "other" side.
It isn't hard to figure out why. Think about what kind of attitude you'd have about the male of the species if you spent decades around old Shooter. It's a thousand damn wonders the other daughter isn't gay too.

Love can't replace a mother and a father
Curiously, the reverse is true in about 80% of American households, mostly Republican...

That child would have TWO parents if they would just get married... oh. Nevermind.

Love cannot replace a mother and a father? The baby will have a mother and a father? Has no one on the right taken a gander at Poppy Heather's man brows? She looks like George Dukakis for Christ's sake. Snark.
