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.

1. Everybody do the Fat-Cat Hustle, now

Dead-Eye Dick's end-of-summer Republican dance craze.

All you do is turn your back on Louisiana
and then shake your skanky booty
while the Big Time Cash Money Bucks roll in
for you

Not for the dead and dying or cold, hungry and homeless.

2. "Some people say" that Dick hasn't done any dancin' lately,

if you catch my drift.

"There are unconfirmed reports" that he isn't gonna be doing any dancing in September, either.
