War Room
Cheney to Bush: "Mary is gay"
By Justin Elliott

When George W. Bush was on the verge of picking Dick Cheney as his running mate in 2000, Cheney felt obliged to tell Bush that his daughter Mary was gay, Bush reports in his new memoir, "Decision Points."

Bush insisted in his interview with Matt Lauer that aired Monday that Cheney was testing Bush's personal tolerance, not warning of a potential backlash by the GOP base.

Here's the passage from the book:

By the time Dick came to the ranch to deliver his final report, I had decided to make another run at him. As he finished his briefing, I said, "Dick, you are the perfect running mate."

While I had dropped hints before, he could tell I was serious this time. Finally, he said, "I need to talk to Lynne." I took that as a promising sign. He told me that he had had three heart attacks and that he and Lynne were happy with their life in Dallas. Then he said, "Mary is gay." I could tell what he meant by the way he said it. Dick clearly loved his daughter. I felt he was gauging my tolerance. "If you have a problem with this, I'm not your man," he was essentially saying.

I smiled at him and said, "Dick, take your time. Please talk to Lynne. And I could not care less about Mary's orientation"

1. OK, now I know that Bush used a ghost writer
There is no way in hell that man could have used a 5 syllable word like "orientation", let alone used it in a sentence correctly.

2. He also used "palpable" twice in two minutes @ Matt Lauer.
Someone's feeding this shit to him through the infamous backpack.

4. Decision Points or Derision Points!
W should read Derision Points (emphasis on the "R") (amazon) if he wants some real laughs!
