DNC: Buy Cheney a ticket home

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is asking supporters to chip in for a bus ticket to send Dick Cheney back to his home state of Wyoming.

In a letter to Democrats today, DNC Executive Director Jen O’Malley Dillon asks for contributions towards the $202 ticket price.

I don’t know about you, but I think it’s time for him to stop sniping from the sidelines and let President Obama usher in the changes Americans demanded after eight years of Cheney’s disastrous policies. That’s why I want Cheney to go back home to Wyoming, and why I want you to help me get him there.

Will you help pay for Cheney’s bus fare? A one-way ticket from Washington, DC to Jackson, WY costs $202 — will you chip in to help us buy one for him?

The email includes a link to a “Cheney Bus” page on the DNC website, including a contribution form and a tentative itinerary for the former Veep to make his way back west. His trip would take him first down to Georgia, from where he’d bounce back up to Indiana, then to Texas (presumably to visit with former President Bush), a quick stop in North Dakota, then home to Wyoming.
