The south is going to hell in a handbasket, and this is what dick is doing. Shouldn't he be ...... like ....... helping the southern tragedy? This kind of speaks for itself. I guess he views the disaster as some kind of financial opportunity..... for himself. Oh wait....... Didn't Halliburton already get the contract to repair the navy yards and oil refineries? Yeah, I guess his work on the disaster is done.
Cheney to host Talent fundraiser
Published Thursday, September 1, 2005
WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney will host a major fundraiser for Sen. Jim Talent in September as the Missouri Republican gears up for a challenge from Democratic state Auditor Claire McCaskill.
Talent spokesman Rich Chrismer confirmed yesterday that Cheney would host the event in St. Louis on Sept. 19.
With about $3.4 million in his war chest, Talent already holds a sizable advantage over McCaskill. That includes more than $1 million from a June event that President George W. Bush attended in St. Louis.
With the race expected to garner national attention, both candidates could beat previous records for a U.S. Senate race in Missouri, said Terry Jones, a professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
