The woman Cheney called "the other hunter..."

$23,200 to the GOP*

(from the Center for Responsive Politics)

Texas education official Pamela Willeford received one of the world’s most coveted diplomatic posts when President Bush nominated her to serve as ambassador to Switzerland in July 2003. A longtime Bush family friend, Willeford replaced Mercer Reynolds III, who had stepped down to serve as finance chairman of Bush’s reelection campaign.

The posting to Bern was not the first honor Willeford had received from Bush. In 1995 then-Governor Bush appointed her to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and two years later he elevated her to chairwoman. Willeford also serves as president of the Breckenridge-based Pico Drilling Co. She partnered with First Lady Laura Bush to begin the annual Texas Book Festival in 1996.

Willeford and her immediate family contributed a total of $23,200 to Republicans during the 2000, 2002 and 2004 election cycles, including $7,000 to the Bush campaigns and an additional $500 to the Bush-Cheney recount fund established after the 2000 election. According to the Houston Chronicle, Willeford has also been a “major contributor” to Bush’s gubernatorial inauguration celebrations and served as a co-chair of his 1999 gubernatorial inauguration committee.

*Figures represent contributions from the individual and his/her immediate family from 1999-2004. Total includes donations made to Republican candidates and party committees, as well as the Bush-Cheney recount fund formed after the 2000 election and Bush's two inaugural committees.

1. And she does look a lot like Lynn Cheney

:evilgrin:

[txindy]

2. From decades past.

I guess Darth isn't as fond of the current edition. :evilgrin:

8. But, Lynn, honey, how can it be cheating if she looks just like you

... a long time ago.

Gads, no wonder the rat bastard looks so bad today. heh heh heh

4. So why were Cheney, Whittington drinking in an outing with OTHER women

instead of their own wives?

I would like to know why the fucking worthless, asslicking media won't dare ask this question. If it was a Democrat, it would be now a GIVEN that something strange was going on. It would be a trifecta of scandals (sex affair, booze, shooting). But it's Unkle Cheny, the guy most revered by the worthless US media for his so-called "gravitas," when the guy is an obvious fuck-up and a bully.

So just to make sure I understand this: Cheney and Whittington go out on a hunting retreat without their spouses... but with other two women... without their husbands... and there was booze involved, and someone ends up capped in the face.

It's very close to gangsta rap lyrics, for chrissake!

:mad:

5. LOL....I agree....ole Busta'dick

Has she made a statement? Wouldn't members of a hunting party make statements as witnesses?

7. Armstrong Ranch, best BIG whorehouse in Texas.

9. If it really was gangsta rap lyrics, the fundies would work to ban the CD

Instead, they feel that Unka Darth is being picked on by an overly-aggressive M$M - who won't even ask a question about "the other hunter." :eyes:

10. Yah yah yah yah - ein bier, ein Struuudle, ein Volk, ein Reich

13. Du, du, schiesst mir im Herzen, du, du,

Liegst mir im Sinn.
Du, du, machst mir viel Schmerzen
Weisst nicht wie zornig ich bin.


You, you shoot me in the heart
You, you, linger in my mind.
You, you fill mw with pain
You don't know how pissed off I am.

[Burried News]

14. Been laughing for 5 minutes, now my wife wants me to do chores

She hates when I have too much fun - she's not as understanding as Lynn Cheney.

11. The OP is correct about what is important. But the "affair" speculation

seems just plain silly to me. If a woman who is an ambassador can't hang with the Veep like a male ambassador could without all kinds of petty speculation, then our society hasn't come very far in the emancipation of women--or sexual maturity. Everytime I read "O my God! A woman not his wife!" I get a picture of a bunch of horney adolescent boys looking at National Geographic to see foreign women's boobs.

Can we grow up at some point, or is American culture destined to live out this adolescent sexuality?
