Since his lesbian daughter's face and name is now prominently affixed to a favored conservative punching bag, Dick Cheney is at a loss for words when it comes to issues of morality. When told yesterday by a conservative voter that Dick needs to distinguish the differences on morality in this campaign, Dick could only say, "All right; thank you, sir."

Even Dick Cheney finds this Administration's positions on morality indefensible.

"As we listen to these debates and the debatable issues such as health care, I see such little difference in the parties," the man, who didn't identify himself, told Mr. Cheney at a "town hall" meeting in an airport hangar in Fairfield County.

He told the vice president he feared that if Mr. Bush lost the election, the "moral majority" in America would also be lost. "I implore you and the President during the next two weeks to show us the difference," he told Mr. Cheney.

"All right; thank you, sir," replied Mr. Cheney, and he went on to the next question.
