While everyone is still laughing over Cheney's hunting prowess, or to be more precise, a lack of it, the real story about his adventures in hunting is beginning to be made public.
Katherine Armstrong, the owner of the ranch where Cheney vacationed, is a registered lobbyist, and guess who she is paid to lobby? The White House. While Armstrong has never lobbied Bush or Cheney directly, she has lobbied White House staff, and President Bush vacationed at the ranch as well when he was Governor of Texas.
While no law was broken, and Armstrong stopped her lobbying activities for Baker Botts, the firm that she was paid $160,000.00 per year to represent, she is still a registered Washington lobbyist, and there can be no doubt that creating even an appearance of impropriety during a time when the Democrats are making an issue of corruption is a very dumb move.
