Mary Cheney gave birth to a baby girl named Sarah Lynne Cheney on Wednesday morning in Washington, D.C.

The family released the following statement: "Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne Cheney, welcomed their seventh grandchild, Sarah Lynne Cheney, Wednesday, November 18, 2009. She weighed 6 lbs., 14 oz and was born at 8:17 A.M. at Sibley Hospital in Washington, D.C. Her parents are the Cheneys' daughter Mary and her partner, Heather Poe."

This is the second child for Cheney and her longtime partner, who are raising her son, Samuel David Cheney, together. Cheney has never publicly disclosed the paternity of either of her children.

Cheney, who has worked for a communications firm, is planning to take maternity leave for several months, and then will start a consulting firm with her sister, Liz Cheney.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
