Remember the flap over Darth Dick Cheney’s speaking gig at the American Museum of Fly Fishing?
The AMFF is probably hoping you’ve forgotten, but in what appears to be a naked money grab, the AMFF has finally announced Cheney’s appearance at a Washington D.C. fundraiser (via busterwantstofish):
Please join the AMFF on Thursday, November 12, 2009, for our Anglers All Presentation in Washington, DC.
The evening will also include an address by former Vice President Dick Cheney. Festivities begin at the Hilton in Washington, DC, at 6 p.m., and will include appetizers, wine, and dinner.
According to Buster’s Smithhammer, the cheap seats are $500; $10,000 gets you close enough to glimpse the cloven hooves.
The AMFF is free to do whatever it wants – including justifying Cheney’s appearance in some twisted manner – but then again, we’re free to suggest the AMFF has made a huge fucking mistake, and that it’s now clear the organization’s goals are separate from ours.
See you anywhere but Washington D.C., Tom Chandler.
