Cheney will be in Rochester next Friday!
Holy cow — I just read about this in the D&C! I assumed the Cheney/Kuhl fundraiser was taking place in Washington — far from the madding crowds of Monroe County and the harsh glare of the Rochester media’s lights — but in fact:
Cheney is planning to host a fundraiser on Friday, Sept. 22, to aid Kuhl’s re-election bid, according to an invitation circulated this morning by Kuhl’s Democratic opponent, Eric Massa.
The invitation says a “private photo opportunity” with Cheney will be held at 4:30 p.m., then a reception to follow at 5 p.m. Both events will be held at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center.
I guess I’m mostly surprised because I didn’t know there was a secure bunker underneath the Riverside Convention Center. You learn something new every day.
As usual, Fighting 29th is about three steps ahead of us covering this one.
Well said.
Protest, Protest, PROTEST!!!
I think the strangest thing about this whole incident is that all of the PR has come from the Massa camp. Quite a contrast with this Spring’s Bush visit.
Here’s what I’m thinking … one of us dresses up as cheney w/ the mask… and the rest of us will give monopoly money to get a picture with him
