Kerry’s Meanness Becomes Apparent
Kerry comment about Cheney daughter may have backfired.
Ya think?
WASHINGTON (AFP) - John Kerry has come under renewed criticism for raising the case of Mary Cheney, the lesbian daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney, during a presidential debate.
Five days after making the comment, Kerry remained at the centre of a media controversy for highlighting Cheney’s sexual orientation.
Political talk shows, newspaper commentators and an opinion poll have all kept the gay comment in the public. Democrats have bravely called it a storm in a political teacup and Kerry’s campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill has said Cheney’s daughter is “fair game”.
According to a Washington Post poll, 64 percent of electors believe Kerry made a mistake. An ABC New poll gave a similar result.
