So the article is about the sapphic daughter, Mary Cheney, of the former Vice President - and the content is otherwise quite beside the point.
The perversion comes from the title and its uncouth reference to the aforementioned.
Did you know what a daisy chain was?
I certainly didn't - and I've had HBO for a dozen years now. Furthermore, I've been known to, in the dutiful course of my blog research, once in while swim in the shallow end of the World Wide Web. Still, I'd most certainly have remembered this term had I come across it!
So there you go, just the fact that Ms. Maureen Dowd knows the term is incriminating enough.
And that she'd use the filthy allusion as the title of her column in the New York Times, and that they'd publish it....that's beyond the pale.
