I find it rather amusing that Crazy Old Andy Sullivan is currently overcome with glee due to the appointment of Mary Cheney to the board of the Republican Unity Coalition. As Cheney says (quoted by Andy):
RUC is an organization that reflects my fundamental beliefs and principles. Working together we can expand the Republican
Party's outreach to non-traditional Republicans; we can make sexual orientation a non-issue for the Republican Party; and we
can help achieve equality for all gay and lesbian Americans.
That's twofer! Cheney a) admits sexual orientation is an issue for the Republican Party and b) gay and lesbian Americans have not achieved equality.
To those of us on Planet Earth, this isn't exactly news. But, for those on Planet Andy, point a) in particular should provoke howls of outrage.
