One small voice in the proud tradition of FreeBlogging* Saturday, October 16, 2004 posted by gbarto at 1:24 AM:From Lileks:Lynn Cheney fires back: Kerry is “not a good man,” which is a rather remarkable statement to make. Good Lord! You’d almost think her daughter had been dragged into a discussion of Constitutional amendments to score a point, or something. Lizzie Edwards on ABC radio responded:If I recall, the debate question was, "Do you believe homosexuality is a choice?" President Bush said, and wisely, "I don't know." Which probably didn't appeal to the "Let's convert 'em back to God's way, the whores" crowd on the Far Right, but it seemed like a pretty honest answer from a guy who wants us all to be nice to each other but isn't sure how nice. Listening to Kerry's answer, I think he said it's not. Or at least, I don't think it's a touching thing for a wife to support her husband choosing to run off with a man when he could love her to whom he had sworn eternal love and fidelity, so I assume that his talk of liberation, etc. meant there was no choice. So... why is Elizabeth Edwards referring to "preference" ? This may be a new first for the Dems - a Kerry-Edwards' wife multiregional, multiperson straddle. Stay tuned to see if the Southern Dems keep talking about preference - a hint to the hillbilly wing of the Democratic party that they know what "them homos" are really up to - or if the Democratic party straggles back to a position where its rhetoric matches at least the earnest and humble graciousness that our supposedly intolerant born-again Christian president displayed the other night.
