Illinois Cheney-Hastert Event Today -- No Silverware for Fear of ? LOL
Advertisements [?]
...Hastert eating up the place? Great article for my DU buds needing a bit of comic relief.


Preparations being made for Cheney visit
By Chris Rickert - City Editor

About 2,300 people are expected to attend the $150-a-plate annual fund-raiser for Hastert. Tickets have been sold out since Tuesday, according to Brad Hahn, a spokesman for Hastert's campaign.

State Rep. Bob Pritchard, R-Hinckley, said those going to the event were asked to provide their birth dates and social security numbers so that federal agents could run background checks. He said that's a common safeguard when people visit federal buildings in Washington, D.C., for example....

The dinner also will consist of finger foods only, Hahn said, because of security concerns surrounding the potential dangerous uses of silverware.
