Dick Cheney invite to American Museum of Fly Fishing sparks anger

Dick Cheney has been invited to speak at the American Museum of Fly Fishing, but the fly fishing community is upset.

When the American Museum of Fly Fishing hooked Dick Cheney for a fund-raising dinner, critics howled that they should throw him back.

Cheney - whose Secret Service code name was "Angler" - spearheaded energy policy at the White House and bears blame, detractors say, for the Bush administration's poor environmental record.

"The entire fly fishing community is appalled and disgusted," said Ted Williams, conservation editor at Fly Rod & Reel magazine.

"We all need money, but to apply green lipstick to this Darth Vader of fish and wildlife is whoring - it's grotesque," Williams said. "It's as if the Holocaust museum held a dinner to honor {Nazi war criminal} Klaus Barbie."

Steve Wright, a former commissioner of the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department, blasted the invitation, calling Cheney "one of the great enemies of healthy fish and wildlife conservation in the U.S. over the last eight years."

1. Good! These dirty rotten criminals deserve nothing but scorn.

Any dipshit presidents of organizations that invite these assholes to speak need to be replaced.

2. They better watch it.

'Ol Dead-Eye Dick gets an itchy trigger finger whenever someone questions his 'outdoorsman' cred.

3. Let's hope he has to go through Brattleboro or Marlboro.

Voters in two Vermont towns on Tuesday approved a measure that would instruct police to arrest President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for "crimes against our Constitution," local media reported.

The nonbinding, symbolic measure, passed in Brattleboro and Marlboro in a state known for taking liberal positions on national issues, instructs town police to "extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably contend to prosecute them."

4. Cheney's response to learning that a fly-fishing river is polluted:

"Well, I never fish that river...the fish are all dead. Instead, I fly into remote rivers where there are still some fish. Next question, please..."
