Mary Cheney gave birth today to perhaps the most anticipated baby in contemporary U.S. politics -- her first child, Samuel David Cheney, whom she will raise with her longtime partner Heather Poe.
The 8-pound, 6-ounce boy is the sixth grandchild for Dick Cheney.

I bet they won’t name him “Dick”.
Who planted the seed?
This is just wrong to do to a child. IMO
Dangit — you beat me by one minute. :)
I couldn't agree more. But since it is being done, I am very glad he's a boy. At least he won't see them as a role model.
IMO also.
I’m willing to bet the kid will rebel and tell “Heather” to get lost.
I never realized I was living under a rock, since I had no idea she was pregnant

“Mary Cheney Gives Birth to Baby Boy”
So. Who is the “Daddy?”
It’s this whole homosexual marriage issue again. Since Cheney is against same-sex marriage and his lesbian daughter is in a relationship and having a baby, the MSM tries to make this seem like Cheney will be hypocritical by welcoming his new grandson. On the other hand, he would be seen as heartless if he rejected the little guy because of his opposition to gay marriage or relationships.
Either way, they have wanted to make Dick Cheney look bad.
Lesbians are not known for their long relationships.
Probably this boy will know many mommies. I pray that his maternal grandparents, Lynn and Dick, will provide the stability he will need.
I pray for his well being and happiness.
You’re bad!
Congratulations to the Vice President and his family!
On issues of who is the father and homosexual couples, the policy is “don’t ask - don’t tell”. We’re not supposed to think about how sperm and egg joined together or whose sperm and egg joined.
They’ve been together for 16 years.
What a sad way for a beautiful baby to enter the world. Here’s wishing him a Daddy, someday.
Yes, Congrats, indeed. :-)
I agree.
As we watch these issues of life follow the spiral down to the Inferno, is it not clear that only the Catholic Church is right in every instance? OK, I’m Catholic, but my brothers in Christ must see the leadership the Catholic provides in this area.
Strap on your flame suit.
More importantly, will the child ever have the opportunity to know what genetic diseases he inherited from his paternal genes?
“Who planted the seed?”
I believe it is none of our business.
My sentiments exactly.
Contratulations.
I’m always happy to see a new life come into this world.
I guess Dick Cheney is going to have to be the male influence in his life. At least that’s positive.
I understand that some homosexuals take on opposite-sex roles, one being the male and one the female. I have actually encountered more of a thing where you have two women who dress and act like two men but who relate sexually as members of the opposite sex. I don't know if it ever works out where two women actually act/look like real women but are lesbian. Regardless, even a brief consideration of that displays the abnormality of it all. So "who is the daddy" is really quite a question. Maybe we should also ask, "Who is the role model?" Is he to see himself as a future male version of one of the females? Is he to see himself in homosexual men? Is he to see himself as growing up to be like grandpa? I suppose that last one is the best case scenerio, but then he would see himself as embracing homosexuality in his own children. I wonder if that includes sex between the children themselves. I mean why not? Whose morality says they shouldn't have sex? Or even sex between parents and children? Why not? Whose morality demands that be unacceptable?
Congratulations to Mother and friend!
My name and my Dad's name. She picks good names!
My dad hated the name Samuel. We always cringed inside when a salesman tried to be personable by calling him Sam! It always made me think of Jesus - "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."
So? They've been immoral for 16 years. Does that make them special?
I think you may be right
I hope the kid does well
The kid going to grow up with no dad and you have no problem with such a selfish act?
Grammy & Grampy can write a new book...”Sammy Has Two Mommies”.
You bad.
That's the problem. He will grow up without a role model for a boy--his dad.
I hope they send him to a private school or some place where he will have male role models. I wish him well, in any case--he will have a tough time, I'm afraid.
Whats that for ?
The whole morality issue is where lots of people have trouble. You have to really say there’s no difference between a mother and a father in a child’s life to accept that homosexual couples are just the same. And you have to reject morality to accept homosexual parents in the first place.
Very difficult situation for the VP and his wife. They surely love their daughter, yet cannot be happy with her life style.
Still, I'm sure they will love this little guy as much as their other grandchildren.
Congratulations to the whole Cheney family for their latest addition! :)
Every baby is welcome in this world! Congrats to the Veep and his family!
That's probably because they are not legally married. I know alot of people who stay together becuase of the legality mess and money ...of a divorce.....
I hope Samuel will spent a lot of time with Grampa Dick. Can’t think of a better man to be a role-model, apart from a real father.
Cheney is not against it. At least he has never said so. No, he is against allowing the courts to decide, but his arguments tend to lean towards his being personally for it.
But that is impossible.
Two women cannot have intercourse and produce a child.
I’m so confused.
Only heterosexual couples have to make that info public.
What about the Poe family? Or better yet, what about the sperm donor family? He wasn't the immaculate conception.
I bless the life of the baby and mind my own business about the how and the who.
