jeez, you think they'd just STFU when it comes to their daughters, but noooooooooo
========================
Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife on Monday jumped into a bitter public clash between their two daughters on the subject of gay marriage, an anguished personal fight that reflects the fierce ongoing debate within the Republican Party over the legalization of same-sex marriage.
The Cheneys defended their eldest daughter, Liz, a U.S. Senate candidate in Wyoming, who on Sunday reaffirmed her opposition to same-sex marriage, and expressed dismay that their younger daughter, Mary Cheney, and her longtime partner Heather Poe publicly expressed their offense to her stance.
This is an issue we have dealt with privately for many years, and we are pained to see it become public, they said in a statement. Since it has, one thing should be clear. Liz has always believed in the traditional definition of marriage.
The public eruption of the internal Cheney family drama gave airing to the broader struggle within the GOP about how to handle gay marriage at a time when such unions are rapidly gaining legal status and widespread public acceptance.
