Wow, Mary Cheney! Look at what happens when people like your dad politicize other people's sexuality !

It comes back to bite you in the ass. Welcome to the world your dad helped create. Ugly, isn't it?

New York, NY (AHN)-Mary Cheney, the lesbian daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney, finally lashed out at critics who accuse Cheney's decision to have a baby with partner Heather Poe as being politically motivated.

Speaking to a Barnard College audience during a panel discussion sponsored by Glamour Magazine, Mary Cheney said, "This is a baby. This is a blessing from God. It is not a political statement. It is not a prop to be used in a debate by people on either side of an issue. It is my child."

The 37-year-old vice president for consumer advocacy at AOL and former aide for her father's 2004 campaign, defended her decision to have a baby with her partner of 15 years, Heather Poe.

Speaking to the crowd in New York City, Mary Cheney expressed her frustration with all the negativity surrounding her announcement to have a baby, namely from conservatives such as Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, who have criticized same-sex pregnancies.

Update 2/4: Hecate says it better.
