GOP at MSG: Before the Flood, After the Deluge

It was a year ago this month that I sat inside Madison Square Garden,
listening to Dick Cheney making his case for
re-election.

It was a rare appearance by the vice president who only seems to pop up on
rare occasion, a political Punxsutawney Phil, emerging to poke his head
up just enough to predict long, cold winters and scare the bejesus out
of everybody before returning to his burrow.

Vote for Me or Die. That was the message coming out of the Republican
National Convention. We will save you. We will protect. We will preserve.

Sept. 2004, these are some of the stories.
