Unpopular vice president to stump for unpopular Congresscritter

by: Eric B.

Wed Feb 20, 2008 at 16:19:25 PM EST


Well, if you can't raise the money, you only get C-list celebrities.

Press officials for Vice President Dick Cheney confirmed Tuesday he is scheduled to make a stop at the Marshall home of Fred and Arlene Homann on March 7 during a private, invitation-only fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Tipton.

This is precisely the shot-in-the-arm Tim Walberg needs right now.  He lags behind in fund raising, his own people are plotting to overthrow him, and now he brings in basically the only politician less popular in the United States than Castro, and the only American less popular than O.J.

Priceless commentary Eric. (4.00 / 4)
This is precisely the shot-in-the-arm Tim Walberg needs right now.  He lags behind in fund raising, his own people are plotting to overthrow him, and now he brings in basically the only politician less popular in the United States than Castro, and the only American less popular than O.J.

One of the most accurate descriotions of a political situation/political players that's yet to be written IMO.

I love it.

To prepare for when your life flashes before your eyes, make sure it's fun to watch.


Picture (4.00 / 4)
All we need is a picture of Walberg and Cheney together. With every new day I like Sen. Schauer's chances a little better.

So do I. (4.00 / 5)
Don't you love how it's in someone's house and invitation only?

I think it's absolutely fan-freaking-tastic that basically no member of the bush administration can go out in public.


I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. Charles De Gaulle (1890 - 1970)

Costs to Taxpayers when Prez/VP come to town (4.00 / 2)
Anybody add up the extra costs for police and so on when the Worst president Ever or the Worst Vice president Ever roll into town?  Thanks but not thanks, if I were a taxpayer in the area where the planes are landing with these knuckleheads on board.

I wonder... (0.00 / 0)
if the VP will be making any stops besides the fundraiser; maybe a steak and shake or two.
