| Liz has the details on Vice President Dick Cheney headlining the New York State Republican Party's annual dinner.
It is not Cheney's appearance that makes me laugh though. It is where this dinner will be held.
This is from the first paragraph of the press release posted on the NY GOP website.
New York Republican State Committee Chairman Joseph N. Mondello today announced that State Committee will hold its annual State Dinner on Thursday, May 29th in the Grand Ballroom of the Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers in New York City, highlighted by Special Guests Vice President Dick Cheney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and remarks by Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno and Assembly Republican Leader James Tedisco.
We have seen one upstate Republican state senator hold a fundraiser in Manhattan and the NYS Senate Republicans held their own fundraiser in Manhattan also. This from the party that, on a state level, always labels the Democratic Party as the party that caters to the downstate and New York City interests.
Normally, I could care less where candidates or parties hold fundraisers. But when the New York Republicans make it a point to attack "downstate Democrats" at any given opportunity and then you (as Republicans) go to New York City for extravagant fundraisers and high-class dinners.
So when the Republicans play the downstate card in this year's elections, let's remind them that they are being hypocrites. After all, their own party will be holding their annual dinner in New York City.
Is it downstate Democrats or downstate Republicans? I'm confused... |
