Vice President Dick Cheney Set to Welcome Sixth Granddaughter, with a Twist
While Vice President Dick Cheney already has five granddaughters, it is news of his impending sixth that has made headlines.
Cheney’s oldest daughter, Elizabeth Cheney, has five daughters with her husband; their most recent was delivered in July. Now it’s the Vice President’s youngest daughter’s turn. Mary Cheney is expecting to give birth in late spring.
The twist?
Mary Cheney happens to be the openly gay daughter of the Vice President.
Neither Mary Cheney nor her partner of 15 years, Heather Poe, have detailed the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy.
Dick Cheney’s spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride has said, “The vice president and Mrs. Cheney are looking forward with eager anticipation to the arrival of their sixth granddaughter.”
