Neo-Con Gay Empathy

Honestly, you didn't really think the Mouth would ignore this one did you? The Veep's coming out of the closet certainly gives one the impression that his heart is still beating. One of the Mouth's previous commentaries discussed the "empathy" issue where the case was made that a distinct difference between conservatives and liberals (still hate these monikers)is their ability to empathize with other's positions. In other words, the ability to at least imagine oneself walking a mile in someone else's shoes. Am I implying that conservatives lack imagination...hhmmmmm.

Yesterday, Cheney came out in support for his daughter proving that, even the neo-cons, can do it given the right circumstances (like having a gay daughter)! It took my breath away. Don't get me wrong, he'd have to come a lot farther for me to actually like him as a person but, heh, its a start.

Wonder what would have happened if he and GWB had kids in the army in Baghdad?
