Guess these wacky Cheneys never learned the lesson about not airing their dirty laundry in public. What a nasty biatch is Liz Cheney to do this to her sister, presumably for political reasons.


"A family feud between Liz and Mary Cheney, the daughters of former Vice President Dick Cheney, played out in awkward fashion Sunday.

Liz Cheney, who is running for Wyoming's U.S. Senate seat, sparked the dispute on Fox News Sunday, saying she "believe in the traditional definition of marriage" even though her sister, Mary, a lesbian, is married to a woman.

"I love Mary very much. I love her family very much. This is just an issue on which we disagree," Cheney told host Chris Wallace.

Shortly after her appearance on the show, Mary Cheney's wife, Heather Poe, sharply criticized her sister-in-law on Facebook.

"Liz has been a guest in our home, has spent time and shared holidays with our children, and when Mary and I got married in 2012 — she didn't hesitate to tell us how happy she was for us," , as The New York Times . "To have her now say she doesn't support our right to marry is offensive to say the least."

Mary Cheney then followed up with a Facebook post of her own.

"Liz — this isn't just an issue on which we disagree — you're just wrong — and on the wrong side of history," .

This isn't the first time Mary Cheney has publicly criticized her sister's views on the issue. She also , after her sister first declared her opposition to same-sex marriage, to write: "For the record, I love my sister, but she is dead wrong on the issue of marriage."

The Times, the two sisters have not spoken to each other since the summer and are not planning on spending Thanksgiving together. As for Christmas, the Cheney family will all celebrate together in Wyoming, but Mary Cheney said she "will not be seeing" her sister, The Times reports.

It would seem, from the article, that the feud is between Liz Cheney and Heather Poe and that Mary is kind of caught in the middle.
Can not someone be happy for someone; but still think there choice(s) are wrong?
