>From what I remember of journalism and political speech, once a person
mentions something it's no longer considered private. So when Cheney
talked about his daughter's sexual orientation, it was no longer
protected under privacy.
Now if you want to say that it wasn't right morally, that's your call.
But then if that's the case, then I think it's inappropriate for Dick
to leverage his daughter for his career as well.
