Like Father, Like Daughter
Liz Cheney paid a $200 fine for applying for a fishing license in Wyoming just 72 days after moving there. Wyoming law states you must live there 356 consecutive days before obtaining a hunting or fishing license.
Wyoming state law provides that: “No person shall procure or attempt to procure any license or tag under this act by false swearing, fraud, or false statement of any kind or in any form.”
Cheney, who is mounting a primary bid against Sen. Mike Enzi (R), claimed earlier this month that the “clerk must have made a mistake.”
She’s a Cheney. Nothing is her fault. Hell, her Dad made a man apologize for stepping in front of his rifle fire.
Scratch “personal responsibility” off Republican values. Replace it with the SODDI explanation: Some Other Dude Did It.
Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.
In NY (and I can get you literary references) that is known as the ‘Two Dude Defense’.
1Did Daddy’s “little draft deferment,” even research state law before going to purchase a fishing license?
2If she had, Liz would have found out that she would of had to been living in the state, for a minimum of 1 year “BEFORE” she was eligible to purchase a license!
This just go’s to show how smart she is!
Where is the “Tundra Tart”? When you see Dick and Liz Cheney together,why doesn’t Palin go apoplectic about Liz pallin’ around with terrorists? As for Cheney’s defense,she was explained the residency requirements,why didn’t she refuse to take a resident license and opt out for the correct choice?
3I’d bet cash money that DLDD (thanks, Fred Farklestone) filled out an application for the fishing license unless she had some state worker fill it out for her. In that event she could blame that worker for the problem. Would a Cheney lie? Only every chance they got.
4OK, so its a fishing license! But the big deal is the way she went about it and reacted — like a freakin’ spoiled brat! We have enough of them in politics now!
5This is part of the form that states clearly the requirement:
UNDER PENALTY OF PROSECUTION, I SWEAR THAT THE INFORMATION GIVEN BY ME ABOVE MY SIGNATURE IS TRUE AND CORRECT. IF APPLYING FOR A RESIDENT LICENSE, I SWEAR UNDER PENALTY OF PROSECUTION THAT I AM A WYOMING RESIDENT AS DEFINED IN W.S. 23-1-102(a) (ix)(xv) and 23-1-107 AND HAVE DOMICILED IN WYOMING FOR NOT LESS THAN ONE (1) YEAR AND HAVE NOT CLAIMED RESIDENCY ELSEWHERE FOR ANY PURPOSE DURING THE ONE YEAR IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE PURCHASE OF THIS LICENSE.
APPLICANT’S SIGNATURE ______________________
Uh, did the clerk sign for you?
6I followed a link to her Facebook page yesterday and posted my thoughts about her lack of qualifications. Seemed like there were hundreds of people who felt just like I did.
7Apples don’t fall far from the tree.
8Non resident 1 calender year license costs $92, day license is $14, a resident pays $24 or $6 a day. Her little faux pas cost her the equivalent of 5 years of licenses (1 x NR + 4 x R) and from the sound of it, some public humiliation.
Ignorance of the law is no defense lady.
9Of course, the only thing she’s planning to fish for is a seat in Congress. She needed the license for credibility as a Wyoming resident. All she did was call attention to the fact that she’s a carpetbagger.
10Origuy – I had to use all of my (admittedly paltry) supply of self-restraint to not make SEVERAL plays on words for “carpet” and “bagger.”
It was like trying to hold in a sneeze.
So, thanks for raising my blood pressure.
11Why do the Chaney’s hate the trout for their freedom?
12Correction:
Daddy Deadeye Dick shot Whittington with a shotgun using birdshot, not a rifle (using much more lethal ammo). Had it been a rifle the guy likely wouldn’t have survived to be able to apologize for being in the way of Whiskey Dick’s aim.
“for stepping in front of his rifle fire”
Connivin’ Lyin’ Liz is still “entitled” to those kind of ‘R’ birthright privileges, don’t you know?
13I went to Lizard Liz’s FB page and wrote: “You cannot even read a fishing license form, but you want to be a US Senator? Holy Canole. It boggles the mind.”
14If she’s still convinced she can win this seat from Enzi, she’s as delusional as Romney. The fishing license business is lethal.
15Way to go, Katie!
16Oh, and I meant to put in my plug against Legal Zoom where they don’t pay workers enough and take off points if you go to the bathroom before your 4 hrs. at the desk are up.
17Liz’s daddy… or mommy, whichever… will soon claim she has dyslexia.
