Guess Who Dick Cheney Invited To Dinner

Meet Robert Howard Kirkpatrick. He's serving 35 months in Ohio's Belmont Correctional Institution for drug possession. But that didn't stop Vice President Dick Cheney from inviting the 35-year-old felon to a June 19 dinner featuring George W. Bush and his wife Laura. As first reported by Cleveland's Plain Dealer, the below invite was recently mailed to Kirkpatrick at his Ohio state lockup and actually included Kirkpatrick's inmate number in the address. Unfortunately for the President and First Lady, they will have to do without Kirkpatrick's company at the $2500-a-plate GOP fundraiser. But he will be available in February 2004. (4 pages)
