From TNR's transcription of Stephen Hayes's new book on Cheney, we get this quotation from an interview with GWB on the subject of Mary Cheney:
"My only ask was that if his daughter doubted my tolerance to her orientation that I would hope that he would help make it clear to Mary that this is a--I was just worried about--the reason I'd federalized the issue is because I was worried about the courts' defining the issue and that we'd end up with de facto marriage that was not traditionally defined, I guess is the best way to put it."
Andrew Sullivan says:
Notice also how he doesn't have the courage to confront Mary Cheney directly.
Well, that's definitely what stands out about that quotation, even though I think that if she had any doubts about his "tolerance to her orientation" that her paycheck for her work on her father's campaign would have alleviated them.

I like the way he says, "If she doubts I'm tolerant, look at how I fucked her over in the marriage department, the non-traditional bitch."

I had always hoped that Mary Cheney would end up as the gay Esther:
Esther 3:8-9
Esther 4:10-16
Unfortunately, I was wrong. I guess she doesn't need to worry about how these issues affect "the little people"
