Spurred on by clammyc's diary about Cheney's charitable contributions. I started wondering why Cheney would give so much money ($1.3 million) to Capital Partners for Education, a Georgetown-based scholarship fund that helps finance education at private and parochial schools for area teenagers. (http://www.cpfe.org/) It was not only the largest single contribution in the charity's history, but also represents twice their annual budget revenue for this fiscal year. (hat-tips to AMcG826 and mspicata; and I see that HeyThereItsEric has also done some digging).
Here's the rub - this organization seems (at least on the surface - and that's as far as I've gone) to be an admirable one for inner-city DC youth.
And that's the BIG RED FLAG for me.
Why would Dick Cheney do that?
