Please stop it with the "No Shame" crap already

Margaret Carlson explains ("She's Here, She's Queer -- Get Used to It") why it's silly to criticize Kerry for bringing up Mary Cheney's lesbianism. It's only "shameful" if you think that being a lesbian is a "shameful" secret. Mary Cheney is a grown-up, openly gay Republican campaigner. It's no secret, and no shame (except, perhaps, the "Republican" part, but that's just me).
