Well, hate to upset you but yes, people have written politician slash but so far the only Cheney/Bush I found was a gag and one that was serious but not at all explicit (thank god). S’not really surprising that politician slash has been written, what with the way these guys act sometimes.

SkySkull: “I’m hoping someone doesn’t take it to the next level and write some Bush/Cheney ’slash’ fiction…”

Well, here goes…

Cheney looked into George’s eyes and ran his withered fingertips along his still-strong jaw. “Even now, after all these years, you’re still beautiful to me,” he whispered.

George blushed. “Take me Richard! Take me now!”

Cheney chuckled. “Richard? What’s up with Richard? You know I prefer ‘Dick’?”

“Me too,” George sighed, nuzzling Cheney’s earlobe. “Me too.”

It is an oddly compelling read. I’m hoping someone doesn’t take it to the next level and write some Bush/Cheney ‘slash’ fiction…

By demonizing gays and becoming the party of puritanical sexual norms, they’ve simultaneously pushed a large portion of the population into denial and confusion about their sexual proclivities and drawn them into the party, where they inevitably self-destruct." Apparently the problem goes all the way to the top... The author is being facetious (I think...), but it's still a hysterical (and oddly compelling) read.

Whoops! I hope I didn’t imply that they’re turning gay due to some external influence. I was trying to suggest that part of the reason that gay people end up being repressed is due to the influence of those groups that demonize homosexuality: namely, Republicans and fundamentalists. If the groups convince them that they’re ‘evil’, the natural solution is to join the party in order to be ‘cured’. This of course doesn’t work, and the result is a political party with a high proportion of extremely confused, repressed people.

“Let’s face it: most straight people simply do not get obsessed enough about homosexuality to care that much about it.”

That reminds me of the classic line (from a columnist on the West Coast, I think), “Republicans think more about gay sex than gay men do.”

Let’s face it: most straight people simply do not get obsessed enough about homosexuality to care that much about it. But if that’s something you’ve struggled against and repressed all your life, you are bound to see homosexuality as a major an omnipresent danger: because you are just projecting your own fears.

Family Guy illustrates the point quite nicely:
