The instrument has not yet been invented that can measure the size of the damn I don't give about the catfight between the Cheney sisters, gay and straight, over marriage equality. If that entire family -- war criminal sociopath Daddy, propagandist harpy Mom, gay daughter Mary, and warmongering propagandist harpy Liz -- all got on a boat and sailed off to the cannibal isles, I wouldn't do anything more than send a case of barbecue sauce on ahead of them.

The only time I want to see war-criminal Daddy again on my television is from a dock at The Hague. The rest of them can pound sand. The country has made up its mind of marriage equality without the Cheneys, and there is something toweringly pathetic about the attempt to humanize this flock of carrion-eaters because one of them happens to have gay-married her partner without war criminal sociopath Daddy breaking out the shotgun. Marriage equality is an important issue, but it is not the most important issue, and it sure isn't a kind of historical absolution that makes up for the fact that hundreds of thousands of people would still be alive if the Cheney family had been kept away from the levers of power for the same reasons we keep Charlie Manson away from knives.
