hear the one about the Wyoming state bar convention that invited former VP Dick "Shoot 'Em Inna Face" Cheney to speak?
That would be the state bar's annual convention which will feature Cheney as the keynote speaker.
Well, they allowed Cheney to submit his own bio, which of course takes a dig at President Obama.
The text is identical to his bio from Alliance for a Stronger America, the Cheney's non profit.
President Bush and Vice President Cheney left office in January 2009. Shortly thereafter, President Obama began to dismantle the security policies that had kept the nation safe. His policy decisions have led to a reversal of the gains America made in the war on terror, in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, and a weakening of America across the globe.
The WY State Bar later published an apology in its magazine Wyoming Lawyer:
Certain remarks that appeared in Vice President Cheney's biography in the annual meeting registration materials have prompted expressions of concern from several members who viewed those comments as inappropriate for a Wyoming State Bar publication.
The association has promised to
not fuck up again "re-evaluate" its policy of allowing speakers to submit their own bios without looking at them first.
Democrats in the Wyoming Bar are pissed and many say they won't attend the convention, including Cheyenne lawyer and Democratic state legislator Mary Throne
"Obviously, I have a lot of respect for the office of vice president and his service to Wyoming. It does seem an odd choice for a bar banquet. Traditionally, it's somebody with a legal background, and not someone who's so active in politics, frankly. So, I do not plan on attending the banquet."
