Columnist and author Dan Savage lambasted both Liz and Mary Cheney during an interview with Real Time host Bill Maher on Friday, noting the irony of their arch Republican father Dick Cheney being thrust into the middle of their dispute.

“It’s funny that you need a Dick to adjudicate a dispute between a lesbian and straight sister,” Savage told Maher.

While Liz Cheney faces an uphill climb in her bid for a senatorial seat in Wyoming, Savage said, Mary Cheney still had a history of supporting not just her father during his tenure as vice president, but 2012 Republican presidential Mitt Romney. Savage repeatedly mentioned that Mary Cheney both voted for Romney and donated $2,500 to his campaign.

“Unlike her sister, Liz, who’s saying ‘it’s a state issue,’ Romney wanted to rewrite the U.S. Constitution to ban same-sex marriage in every state, even overturning gay marriages in states where it had already been legalized,” Savage said. “Romney was 1,000 times worse than Liz, and Mary wrote that f*cker a check.”

1. I love Dan Savage

Was a little embarrassed watching him last night laughing with my grown son in the room, but I just couldn't help myself. Dan is great at making a clear concise point in a intelligent manner that I respect.

2. Dan Savage is awesome.

I first heard of him when a friend of mine moved to Chicago about 15 years ago. She used to send me clips of his column in one of the newspapers there. I couldn't believe what I was reading! I've been a big fan ever since and I'm glad he's become so well-known.

He was raw, unapologetic and told it like it was.

5. Why does this remind me of the end of Team America?

6. Oh my.

So enchantingly tasteless.

Hey, now. Maher's show was once called "Politically Incorrect".

Liz needs to stay home and take care of her little children, just as the Republican party has firmly instructed for decades. She's a perfectly terrible example for Right Wing Americans to emulate.
