Rumors

By Kate Downen, 7-26-06
The Daily Inter Lake reported today that Vice President Dick Cheney will likely be visiting the Flathead Valley for a Conrad Burns fundraiser, although Cheney Spokeswoman Jenny Mayfield neither confirmed nor denied the VP's visit.The Inter Lake reports that the fundraiser would take place August 16, although place and time were not given. There is no mention of a Flathead Burns fundraiser on Burns' website.
Possible locations of a Burns fundraiser? With Cheney in the mix, it may be possible that Halliburton CEO Dave Lesar, a part-time Whitefish resident, is involved in the event. Lesar and his wife, Sherry, donated $500,000 toward the construction of Whitefish's new North Valley Hospital. [End of article]
It's nice to know that we at least get something for all those no-bid contracts, $65 happy meals, $61 million overcharges, etc... Oh, not to mention thousands of dead teenagers. Thanks Dave!

Comment By Kristin Ferris, 8-16-06As Dave Lesar's sister-in-law I am apalled by his blatant attempt to enter politics in Montana by buying himself gravitas through spending blood money earned through no-bid contracts and cronyism. Of course as the "black sheep" of the family my opinion doesn't really matter...
