Ill riff of note:
Cheney again touted his "Ohio roots" and told the crowd it "seems to me you all would want to send a homeboy back to the White House."
Homeboy! Dick is illin', dawg...
Aight, here's a better one.
Cheney boasted in Toledo that his ancestor had fought in Georgia and was "in Sherman's march to the sea through Atlanta." He added: "I don't talk about that much in Georgia."
Seriously...every Civil War re-enactment further convinces me Black people would be stupid to let go of all that before white folks do.
Anyway...
Georgians don Union blue for Bush inaugural
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 12/30/04
An Atlanta-based Civil War re-enactors group has been invited to march in President Bush's inaugural parade next month because Vice President Dick Cheney's great-grandpappy was a Union soldier who fought in some of the bloodiest battles in Georgia.
Yep, that's right 23 descendants of Union veterans who now live in these parts will strut in blue uniforms down Washington's Pennsylvania Avenue behind the flag of the 21st Ohio Infantry Regiment. The vice president's great-grandfather, Samuel Fletcher Cheney, was a captain of the regiment.
The 21st Ohio Re-enactors Unit was invited to march in the Jan. 20 parade in large part because of the efforts of Brad Quinlin, 50, of Suwanee.
It turns out that Cheney is a Civil War buff and was briefed by Quinlin, head of the re-enactors unit, on four or five occasions two of them in long, private meetings in the White House.
