Family tours Hands-On Museum during quick trip Tuesday

Dick Cheney slipped in and out of town Tuesday afternoon but why the vice president was in Ann Arbor appears to be one of best kept secrets around.
The visit late Tuesday was not announced to the news media or posted on Cheney's itinerary on the White House Web site, yet three local police agencies provided security for his motorcade from Willow Run Airport to Ann Arbor Township from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Members of the vice president's family also toured the popular Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum.
A Detroit radio station reported its traffic helicopter was prohibited from entering Washtenaw County airspace Tuesday while the motorcade was en route.
The nature of Cheney's visit remains unknown, but it appeared to be private since no one promoted any campaign events locally and not even party officials were aware of his visit.

1. Sheesh...Reminds Me Of Hitler Slipping Into Paris

This man must live in a bubble...never exposing himself to the real world and the "little people". Perish the thought that someone traveling on our dime, using our planes and security and messing up so many lives in the process could at least explain what the hell he is doing. Even if it's fund groveling or just siteseeing. Sheesh!

The image I get is of Hitler after the Germans took Paris who made his only trip into Paris early on a Sunday morning, and unnanounced...so the partisans couldn't take a good shot at him.

This bastard needs to be brought back to the land of the living.
