Dick Cheney will be a featured guest at an April 21 fund-raising lunch for Vito Fossella, the city’s only Republican congressman, a sign that the national Republican Party is putting in a major effort to hold onto the seat.

Fossella represents parts of Brooklyn and Staten Island. The event is taking place at 740 Park Avenue in Manhattan, at the home of Republican contributors David and Julia Koch

New Yawk? Make that OLD HAWK.

Cheney is a wonderful friend of the military industrial complex. He's never met a B-52 he doesn't like.

When Cheney is in NYC, I fully expect him to visit Fred Synder and Kate Pierson-- two members of the B-52s. If Cheney really likes B-52s, you can bet the bank on it. Why not? B-52 money has added lots zeros to his bank account.

Who would pay money to attend this Republican fund-raiser at the Koch home? Talk about a dull and boring event.

Is music played at these fund-raisers? Let's hear the B-52s song, 'Love Shack.' I can just see Cheney's butt movin' and groovin'. Of course, paramedics should be within close proximity.

Come on, Cheney is a good guy deep down. Defense spending is an excellent stimulus, a lot more so than simple transfer payments of welfare and medicare to the poor and elderly.

"Cheney is a good guy deep down." Are you kidding? From my perspective, you don't have to dig too far down below the surface to find dirt with this guy.

Being a Halliburton executive is my kind of welfare payments-- welfare payments for the rich.
