Joe, I don't get it
You seem to feel that Mary Cheney should accept her private life is an open book because she chose to market Coors beer.
Well -for six years I marketed beer for a major US brewer. Does that give you the righ to know I'm heterosexual? That I had a miscarriage? That reasons I chose not to have children? That I like to be spanked?
You're a journalist who thinks he has the right, by dint of his profession, to pry into the private lives of citizens merely because of what they do. Mary Cheney's job does not make her a public figure in the understood usage of that term. Your job DOES, far more than hers. So what of it - any sexual pecadilloes hiding in your closet that we can trot to, if not discredit you, at least humilate you? I mean - that would be fair, right?
