Gay Baiting?

I recall watching the debate last night and the moment Kerry brought up Mary Cheney and her being a lesbian I thought; bad move. Mary Cheney is not "fair game" as Mary Beth Cahill believes, she has been on the campaign trail at limited appearances but has been mostly in the background. Imagine if Bush said something to the effect of Kerry's daughter posing in a see-through dress at Cannes was immoral. That wouldn't belong in an American presidential debate and neither did bringing up Mary Cheney. BTW, I respect Lynne Cheney defending her daughter but am equally disgusted that Liz Edwards interjected her stupid opinion in the debate.
