Vice President Cheney in Huntsville

President Bush was to attend a reception today for Wayne Parker and Jay Love, two congressional candidates in Alabama. Bush could not attend so VP Cheney was there instead. I was at the reception when Vice President Cheney visited today. The husband of one of my staff memebers got an award presented by the VP!

Cheney Visit to Huntsville

At the reception today, he spoke about the fact that it was his (tie-breaking) vote in the senate, that passed the tax stimulus package just after the 2001 attacks. He also reminded us that the New York Times revealed our terrorist surveillance program even after the president sat down with them and looked them in the eye, and asked them NOT to do so in order to protect the us. They did it anyways, and got a pulitzer prize to boot!

This kind of mentality knows no bounds of propriety, privacy or morality. It's no surprise Gov. Palin has fallen victim to this criminal despicable activity (hacking her e-mail and releasing personal e-mails and family photos).

By the way, President Eisenhower told reporters of the D-day invasion, and asked them not to reveal it till it had started, --they did not say a word. How times change.
