Cheney does Wyoming -- for a price
03:35 PM PT, Jun 17 2008
Wyoming has only three Electoral College votes and one congressman.
Despite the fact that "the Cowboy State" is the tenth largest US state in area, it is the least populous with only 522,830 people as of 2007, Wyoming does have the vice president, and he can still fish for funds.
The Wyoming Republican Party has announced that Dick Cheney will be the headliner Sunday in Casper at a $1,200-a-person fundraiser, according to the Associated Press.
The price jumps to $1,500 for the few folks in Wyoming who still haven't had their pictures taken with the vice president -- and would like to.
This being Wyoming, the event will take place in a barn, this one owned by GOP national committeeman Diemer True.

With luck and Divine Retribution, Cheney will be falling out of the boat and get snagged by an underwater tree, while Bush get his by a 'Bolt from the Blue. ' Just desserts!'

Oh phil...I think just about everyone knows by now that any truth spoken, and which may not bode well for the Bush-Cheney Fiasco, is labeled "liberal, lefty, etc."
Y-a-w-n.

A barn is the most perfect venue for a GOP meeting
