    Well of course he would go. Cheney doesn’t want Tommy boy, who loves praying on his knees in his office, to be going around telling any Dick stories.

    Couldn’t they pick someone with a cleaner past? John Gotti?


  3. greg wirth says:

    Is there anymore reason to believe that these guys actually care about serving the people? These guys have always been about power and influence. Cheney is unapologetic about torture, secrecy, corruption and outright partisanship.


  4. Average TV Viewer says:

    By then it will be a Cheney/Delay fundraiser.


  5. afterthought says:

    They HAVE to hang together now.
    Any more “flips” and the whole
    house of cards may collapse.
    Abramoff and Co. may already be enough.

    I believe your headline should read “Two rats in a pod.”

    I suppose Cheney will be effective for the event’s purpose, but do these people give a damn about appearances any more?

    Cheney’s COS is facing a serious indictment, DeLay is obviously under indictment as are three current or former staffers and his situation is going to get worse over the Abramoff scandal.

    Could it be it has reached the point where they know they are going down, and this is a quid pro quo so they can swap mailing lists when it’s time to raise money for all the Bush Administration criminals?

    You can bet there will be plenty of Ronnie bashing at this bash!

    cheney apparently knows something i’ve always known: no one parties quite like your indicted friends. see ya at scooterstock 2006.

    cheneys speaking is ‘obstruction of justice’ in my book.

    Cheney propping up DeLay? Too funny.
    The Dick will be lucky if he makes it till Dec. 5th. All of these public appearances have to be taking their toll on his ‘ol electric koolaid pumper.

    You’re know by the company you keep.


  13. TAC says:

    Lil’ Bush the Bicycle Boy has been described, accurately so, as the “F-ck You President.” This would explain episodes like the John Bolton interim placement, Harriet Miers, and other in-your-face episodes. He truly doesn’t give a f-ck what we think of him, his actions, his people or his policies. And with this Cheney/DeLay love-fest, we’re forcefully reminded that Cheney presides over the “F-ck You Vice Presidency.” No surprise whatsoever.


  14. Innocent Bystander says:

    Rats to the mat…Republican Syndicate have to protect their own. DeLay must have made the demand….Cheney, of course, is in no position to say no.


  15. Marie says:

    That sounds like a poor move on Cheney’s part. Today Scanlon pleaded guilty in a deal with the prosecutor in the Abramoff scandal. Scanlon will likely reveal unsavory facts involving Delay – among other higher ups in the GOP – so the price of being real cozy with Delay these days may not be worth it.

    Aside~~~
    Anyone else notice the Number of Land Grab Bills for/in Colorado being passed lately?
