In some universe inhabited by Republicans, former vice-president Dick Cheney exhibited admirable leadership qualities while serving as our nation’s leader for national security purposes.
After raising a reported $3 million selling signature George H W Bush socks, the Republican National Committee is now looking to cash in on another famous Republican’s apparel. This time it’s former Vice President Dick Cheney’s cowboy hat.
On Monday, the RNC sent out an e-mail fundraising solicitation offering donors “The Official Cheney Cowboy Hat” in exchange for a donation of $72.
The email, signed by Republican Party chairman Reince Priebus, reads, “By nature, America is a nation of leaders, pioneers and trailblazers. We’re not a nation that leads from behind, blurs the lines or backs down from our principles.” Priebus continued, “That’s why we’re bringing back the Official Cheney Cowboy Hat.”
This is what happens when you don’t hold people accountable for their actions and give them a pass on criminal behavior.
