The 6th CD is getting more attention.

I don't know who they are afraid of, Cegelis, Duckworth, or Scott, but Roskam's $1million plus must not be enough.

Snip>For Roskam, GOP pulls out a big gun: Cheney
Snip>Cheney will attend a fund-raiser for Roskam on March 13 in Addison. Ticket prices range from $250 up to $2,100 for the chance to get a photo and private reception with Cheney.
Snip>Roskam aide Ryan McLaughlin said Cheney's presence at the fund-raiser ''means this is an important race'' to national Republican leaders.<snip

1. My question is

who the hell would want to have a picture taken with someone who's shot another person? Don't you think they'd want to get someone else besides Cheney as a draw? Geez!!

3. If someone organizes it, I will be there

I know Pete Roskam from when we were both in knickers. We went to the same schools, were in the same clubs and even went to U of I together where I tutored him actually. He is a fundy whackjob - as far out there as James Dobson....

I can't even believe he's gotten this far. And now Cheney??!!

Sick.

8. Small world.

Any good Roskam stories? It'd be great to have something really embarrassing for use during the campaign.

4. I can just see a bunch of folks in Elmer Fudd hats.

I can see a mental image of them out picketing "Unca Dick." Each one wearing the whole Elmer Fudd hunting suit and carrying a toy gun:



Luckily the protesters are much safer to be around than Cheney the "Great White Hunter."

Now I've got that stupid song from Bugs Bunny stuck in my head. I have an Elmer Fudd earworm:

"Kill da waaab-bit, kill da waaaab-bit..."
