Possible Invisible Dick sighting!
The reservation should have been in the mail already, the guest list was quite small, and Cheney has no other stops planned in the region.

Cheney is appearing at a private campaign fundraiser in Jackson Township for U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum. Cost to attend is $1,000 per person, while supporters who contribute $5,000 can get their picture taken with the vice president.

<snip>

A source within the Luzerne County Republican Party, who only spoke on condition of anonymity, said the vice president was scheduled to meet with a group of about 30 community and business leaders before his fundraising luncheon at the Jackson Township home of Ron and Rhea Simms. About 70 to 100 people are expected to attend.

Santorum's press secretary Robert Traynham would only confirm a fundraiser is being held today. He couldn't say if Cheney would be there.

I'd sure like to be a fly on the wall to hear what the fatcats are saying behind closed doors right about now. :)

1. Isn't that a pretty small fund raiser for the VP?
These things are pretty pricy to put on. If they're only expecting $100,000 total, campaign profits won't be that much.

4. I got a buck and a half. I wonder if they would let me in. I suppose
for that, I could get a picture of the two of us as stick figures done in crayon.

5. It's a ripoff.
We all know you can't have your photo taken with a vampire. It'd only be you in the pic. I guess they use a stand-in for all the pics we've seen.

6. A good way to ruin a good day by the mere mention of just his name.

7. What about Mary?
Anyone know what Mary Cheney is up to? She's even more invisible than Bush. Remember she supports her father and the RNC official platform of demonizing gays and lesbians. Bush himself in Texas said she and her type are a danger to children and have no business adopting them. Mary Cheney is one sick freak.
