BYU loves Dick, well, maybe not.
Remember when Dick Cheney came to Rochester to support Randy Kuhl in a fundraiser? Yep, status quo Randy raised a lot of money that night. Well, we wrote about the protest here and pictures here.
That protest produced some memorable pictures including this one from the Nazareth College Republicans who came out in support of VP Cheney.
Well, Cheney looking for a safe disclosed location has asked to give the commencement speech at BYU. See, in Utah, one can assume that that is a safe Republican stronghold. Safe enough for Dick Cheney to speak without being heckled.
Well - check this out. Seems that students at BYU are pissed that Dick Cheney is casting a shadow over their commencement.
“The problem is this is a morally dubious man,†said Andrew Christensen, a 22-year-old Republican from Salt Lake City. “It’s challenging the morality and integrity of this institution.â€
Anyway the speech came and went. Here is a report on the speech from NPR. A video of the protest here.

Great post!
I wonder how much she loves the vp now? She must be part of the 12% in the NBC Iraq poll who believes Bush’s surge is working.
The protest is supported by the makers of ‘This Divided State’

Check them out.
Or maybe she’s part of the 9% (that’s right- you heard it here, the VP has a 9% approval rating) who still, gudgingly, support Darth Cheney. Randy Rhodes thinks it’s the elderly with hearing impairments who think the pollsters are saying “LON Chaney”.
can’t pull up the pictures
9%??? Holy crap. Do you have a link for that?
According to this site:

Sen. Reid said: “I’m not going to get into a name-calling match with somebody who has a 9 percent approval rating.” The site shows the latest polls on the subject—Sen Reid was a bit off. The four polls’ range was 34%-29%
