October 31, 200422 yr The closing days of the campaign have turned into an expanded family affair for Vice President d*** Cheney, his wife, Lynne, and their three granddaughters who are traveling with them. At a campaign rally Sunday, Elizabeth, 7, wore a scary Halloween costume as the Grim Reaper. To howls of laughter, Lynne Cheney introduced Elizabeth as "John Kerry's health plan," highlighting one of the many contentious issues of the campaign. Kerry wants to expand the insurance system for federal employees to private citizens through tax credits and subsidies, an approach the Bush campaign condemns as government health care. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...s_granddaughter
October 31, 200422 yr Author Daily Kos' great response on the hypocricy: Mary Cheney, thirtysomething adult, out lesbian who has made money (working for Coors) primarily because she's an out lesbian and her dad is d*** Cheney, and who is a paid employee of BC/04 is, according to Lynne Cheney, off limits to political discussion. However, Lynne Cheney can use her 7 year old granddaughter as a combination runway model/negative political ad to attack the Democratic candidate for President. Family values my ass. The more I think about this, the more cynical is appears. What are the odds that a 7 year old girl wouldn't want to dress up as something more "girly" or something associated with a character from a cartoon or a movie, but would instead want to dress up as the grim reaper? (And do most 7 year olds even know the archetype of the grim reaper?) What are the odds that the BC/04 professionals would assent to letting somebody out on the stage dressed as the grim reaper? Is that the image the campaign would want to foster, that death is shadowing the BC04 campaign? Is it just coincidental that this 7 year old dressed up as the grim reaper, and Lynne Cheney had a spontaneous moment of mirth and ad-libbed the line about the grim reaper and Kerry's health care plan, insinuating a link between Kerry's plan for health with the symbol for death? This was a deliberate act of using an innocent 7 year old to perform a hit job on a political rival. These people know no shame.
November 1, 200422 yr Author Payback is a bitch ain't it... :lol 605329[/snapback] Funny since if this was Theresa, youd be the first one on here saying how unethical she is. So do you think its ok for Lynn Cheney to dress up an 8 year old girl as the grim reaper for political purposes?
