This whole topic is beyond ridiculous, but I'll slow down to peer at the wreckage.
I would not use the words "fair game" because I still don't think the comment was (or was intended as) either a criticism of her or some kind of devious effort to suppress the turnout of the "God Hates Fags" element of the GOP. {I think it was, at most, an effort to paint Bush as a bastard who's hurting real people, including some he knows, for political gain.}
However, for whatever this is worth -- the "she campaigns" issue misses the point. While she probably doesn't "campaign", it is worth nothing that Mary Cheney is the _top_ _aide_ to the VP in the B/C 2004 campaign.

No, she doesn't.
Well, that's because they won't let her!

Actually, my bet would be that Mary would have been welcome on stage at the convention, but not her life partner. It is not surprising that she "chose" to stay in the private box, knowing what issues it would have raised and unwilling to leave her partner up there alone. Do you think any of the organizers urged her to change her mind and join her family?
