DEL.ICIO.USBlogging for Cheney: Brace yourself for a nasty rush-hour
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s 4:25 p.m., and Vice President Dick Cheney still isn’t on the ground in Atlanta. Which is bad news for any of you commuting southward from downtown.
“I’m sure the Secret Service is doing everything they can to make this as painless as possible,” said Ben Fry, the spokesman for the state GOP. You’ll recall that on Cheney’s last trip to Atlanta, to Kennesaw Mountain for a gathering of descendants of Union soldiers, the vice president locked up rush-hour traffic on the northside.
About 750 diners are expected here. Tickets are a minimum of $750, but their are no caps on how much donors can give.
Fry said he didn’t know what the vice president will be talking about. We’re betting Cheney’s speechwriters are thanking their stars for Elliot Spitzer.
FYI, reporters at the Cheney event have now been assigned an embarrassed young man whose duty it will be to escort journalists — including those faces you see on local TV — to and from the hotel facilities. Yes, TMI. We know.
