There's nothing better than a gossipy queen during an election year, you know? Village Voice columnist and social fixture Michael Musto gets his rant on:

...Kerry has obviously been programmed to go to that Mary Cheney place as often as possible (you know, "The economy is in shambles... and by the way, Mary Cheney is a lesbian") and to also invoke God and the Scriptures at every turn. He even suggested that God made gay people, which is weird since the church feels gays are sinners. ("I invent you... and I pity you," God must have said at that beautiful moment of creation.) [...] All I know is... Mary Cheney is a lesbian. And now it's time for Vera Drake to glamorously abort this week's column.

And that was the abbreviated version.
