Cheney to Headline DeLay Fundraiser
The DOJ is closing in....the indictments are being written....and Dick is going to Texas to reinforce the fact that BushCo supports its criminal friends.

Sweet!

HOUSTON -- A campaign fundraiser for embattled Rep. Tom DeLay postponed by Hurricane Rita in September is being rescheduled for Dec. 5 with Vice President Dick Cheney as the headliner. "It points out that the party is behind (DeLay) and the (Bush) administration is supportive and wants to keep Congressman DeLay in office," Eric Thode, Republican chairman in DeLay's home county of Fort Bend, told the Houston Chronicle in a story published Tuesday.

The most expensive tickets for the event -- $4,200 -- includes a spot at a VIP reception and a photograph with the vice president.

"Congressman Tom DeLay has been an exceptional leader on Capitol Hill and Vice President Cheney looks forward to helping his re-election effort," said Lee Anne McBride, a Cheney spokeswoman in Washington.

DeLay was indicted earlier this year on campaign finance-related charges in Travis County, an action that forced him to step down at least temporarily as House majority leader.

1. $4,200 to have your picture taken with the snarly neocon?
The guy who is co-responsible for the Iraq mess. I don't think so.
Let his corporate buds lick him.

2. Sounds about right
People who like Delay are going to like Cheney. If I were another Republican Rep, I wouldn't want either within 50 miles of my event.

5. Does Cheney have a death wish? Or does Delay have
Edited on Thu Nov-24-05 12:18 AM by DianeG5385
something on him?? Why the heck would Cheney be such a visible supporter of Delay? Is he flexing some muscle we are not aware of? Pay attention folks...either Cheney is pushing some buttons to shut people up or Delay has something on Cheney. Otherwise, this makes no sense.

6. Only scum-sucking phuckes can love each other like this.
I'm sure that Texas lady with the band-aids from the '04 repukelican convention will be there too. Despicable bitch.
And to think these sorry excuses for human beings are running our country. God help us.
