Yes!!! CNN actually had the balls to ask Liz Cheney, Mary's straight sister, about Alan Keyes' slur of Mary the other night. This is great. Guaranteeing that the gay issue remains a very nice off-message controversy at this convention.
Illinois Republican Senate candidate Alan Keyes labeled homosexuality "selfish hedonism" and said Vice President Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter is a sinner.
The former talk show host who has made two unsuccessful runs for the White House made the comments Monday night in an interview with Sirius OutQ, a satellite radio station that provides programming aimed at gays and lesbians.
After saying homosexuality is 'selfish hedonism,' Keyes was asked if that made Mary Cheney 'a selfish hedonist.'
'Of course she is,' Keyes replied. 'That goes by definition.'
Liz Cheney, Mary's sister, refused to comment Wednesday during an interview on CNN.
'I guess I'm surprised, frankly, that you would even repeat the quote, and I'm not going to dignify it with a comment,' she told the interviewer. "
