Do West Virginians mind Cheney joking about incest there?

Question

Cheney was explaining that during the course of researching his family lineage for Lynne's memoir "Blue Skies, No Fences" last year, he learned there were Cheneys on both his father's and his mother's side of the family. There was a Richard Cheney on his mother's side, the vice president said.

"So I had Cheneys on both sides of the family and we don't even live in West Virginia," Cheney quipped.

Answer 1

I didn't hear about this, but it is hilarious.

My guess is they don't mind because they don't get the joke.

But, your talking about a state where the phrase "uncle daddy" actually means something.

Answer 2

Opposite this question is a Google Advertisement saying "Experience it for yourself." So Google has a hold on this thing and is treating it light heartedly.

Answer 3

Nice. Goes to show you his character. Oh, that's right...

Answer 4

We will find out if they mind in the general election won't we.

Answer 5

Not incest..inter-marriage...big difference...that is cousins marrying..nothing wrong with that...there weren't many people to marry back then out in the country...
