It was good for $1million, we were told, reminding me once again that there are still folks out there who find Cheney irresistibly credible even though he was on the elite first team of Dubya Hawks that led us into the disastrous Iraq invasion, which he insisted would be a very brief conflict..

But Romney is forever impressed by the guy with the cryptic Mona Lisa smile. "He's the kind of guy I would like to have, " Romney said when asked of his choices in his administration. He also described him as a "person of wisdom and judgment." But considering Cheney's soaring disapproval rating in national polls, there aren't many around who might nod in approval.
That explains why no media photographers were permitted to capture the two together at the fund-raiser - a version of photo-stopping instead of photo-shopping. It was sort of a case of taking the money and running.
Oh, the picture above was taken in better days when they didn't mind being seen with each other. Funny how such photos can't ever be etch-a-sketched away.

Happily, there were no bird-hunting expeditions during the fund-raiser; otherwise, the GOP might have had to find a substitute (say, Rick Santorum) to replace Mitt who could've been felled by an errant Cheney aim.
