On Friday, there were several articles about Dick Cheney reaching out to GOP legislators in Maryland encouraging them to support the same-sex marriage bill that is currently making its way through the political system there.

Wade Kach, a Republican legislator from Baltimore County, told The Baltimore Sun he received an offer to talk with Cheney, whom Kach regards as a “great man,” along with messages of support for the bill from other party bigwigs, including New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman.

One of my co-workers texted me on Friday and said, “Hey, if Dick Cheney can do it…” Thanks, Mr. Cheney. While we may not see eye to eye on every issue, your support here is much appreciated.
