Mary Cheney's baby will have two mommies, and that is just fine with President Bush.
When People magazine asked him what he thought of the news that Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian, was pregnant with a child whom she will raise with her longtime partner, Heather Poe, Bush said, "I think Mary is going to be a loving soul to her child. And I'm happy for her."
Mary Cheney, 37, and Poe are not married though they have said that, for all purposes, they consider themselves to be.
