At a press conference today, when asked about his feelings on same-sex marriage:

“I think that freedom means freedom for everyone … I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish.”

WOW. George W. Bush’s VP just went on the record supporting gay marriage. Isn’t it about time our current Democratic President did the same?

Honestly, politicians know about none of the important things going on in the world. The Examiner did a cute little “what you don’t know about Dick Cheney” piece on Monday, and it included this little tidbit:

He once confused Jessica Simpson with Jessica Lynch … [W]hen the vice president threw out the first pitch before a 2003 game between the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs, Cheney was first informed that “Nick Lachey — a native of Cincinnati — would sing the national anthem before the game and would be accompanied by his girlfriend, Jessica Simpson. Cheney thought Simpson’s name sounded familiar. He asked his staff: ‘Is that the soldier who was captured in Iraq?’” (That would be Jessica Lynch).
