Love at First Sight
If every married woman isn't in love with President Bush at this moment, I would be very shocked.
I love the strong women around me. I can't tell you how much I love my wife and our daughters.
I am -- you know it's really interesting. I tell the people on the campaign trail, when I asked Laura to marry me, she said, "Fine, just so long as I never have to give a speech." I said, "OK, you've got a deal." Fortunately, she didn't hold me to that deal. And she's out campaigning along with our girls. And she speaks English a lot better than I do. I think people understand what she's saying.
But they see a compassionate, strong, great first lady in Laura Bush. I can't tell you how lucky I am. When I met her in the backyard at Joe and Jan O'Neill's in Midland, Texas, it was the classic backyard barbecue. O'Neill said, "Come on over. I think you'll find somebody who might interest you." So I said all right. I walked over there. There was only four of us there. And not only did she interest me, I guess you would say it was love at first sight.
And I think every lesbian woman should be appalled at the gross invasion of privacy committed by Kerry and Edwards in the last 2 debates. Just imagine, how would you feel, if someone who was debating your father, or a business partner of your father, brought up your personal life. It could be your sex life, or your choice of husbands, or your health or your job. Mary Cheney deserves the same privacy that we do.
