Dick Cheney To Stump For Shelley

Have you ever noticed that Republicans aren’t good at math? Or at keeping promises?

Earlier this year, they were going to give Shelley Sekula-Gibbs $3 million bucks to defeat Nick Lampson.

They threw her a hundred grand with a side of Dick Cheney. They’re missing a lot of zeros on that check. And, unless they’re hiding in Cheney’s arteries along with some mean cholesterol, I doubt they’ll be forthcoming.

But, Dick Cheney will be. He’s been “sent” to campaign for Shelley. Maybe he’ll garner a few more than the 80 guests and crappy cash he raised for Van Taylor in CD-17. That, and it’ll give Cindy Sheehan (and/or one of our other favorite war protesters) another reason to get arrested. Cheney will be in H-Town October 4th. (He has been asked to leave his shotgun at home in case Harry Whittington is in attendance.)
Oh, and that $100,000? It’s actually more like $94,000. And it’s going to a Minnesota firm that specalizes in GOTV activities. Evidently, there simply aren’t enough Republican political consultants in Texas.
Of course, Shelley’s putting a positive spin on the $3 million that will arrive in her mailbox the same day the CIA announces it has been holding Santa Clause as a terror suspect a Gitmo:

“In politics, you don’t run on promises, you run on what you have in the bank,” Sekula-Gibbs said of the Benkhiser pledge. Benkhiser did not return repeated telephone calls Wednesday.

Baw. Haw. Haw. Haw. TinaFish made herself unreachable because she doesn’t want to admit that she lied to all those CD-22 Republicans. God forbid! There might be a backlash.
