In the ultimate act of hypocrisy, President Bush said he is "happy" for Mary Cheney, following her announcement that she is pregnant.
"I think Mary is going to be a loving soul to her child. And I'm happy for her," Bush said in an interview with People magazine.
Yes, so happy that he tried to pass a the Federal Marriage Amendment, that would have made the child's family less stable.
By Bush's statement, we now know how disingenuous and phony the president was on the FMA. It was all about politics and getting right wing rubes to the polls. However, if he can be "happy" about a lesbian household having a baby, then he is not very sincere in his anti-gay conviction.
The religious right ought to be furious. The GOP and Bush have been using them like second hand toilet paper for years. After all the money they raised and energy they spent in their disgusting efforts to turn America into a Christian Iran - all they got in the end is a baby shower for Mary Cheney with the blessing of the most powerful leader in the world.

It underscores how politically opportunistic George W. Bush is, and why we can never trust a word he says.

Yes, now that the elections are over, Bush doesn't have to pretend to be a homophobe anymore.

"Mary is going to be a loving soul to her child"
Interesting that he wouldn't have said 'loving mother'. Was that deliberate or accidental?

It is also interesting that he didn't mention Heather Poe ... or give congratulations to the *Happy Couple*.

FYI--within about 60 days NJ will be the next state to have full marriage rights for gays and lesbians (except that it will be called Civil Unions) We can work on changing the word to 'marriage' later. Celebrate! Gary (NJ) ps..if Mary and her mate moved here they could get married. I wonder if bush and daddy cheney would attend that wedding?! hahahaha
