Liz Cheney makes same mistake again

This isn't about politics.   It's about ridicule and Schadenfreude.

Four years ago, Dick Cheney's daughter, Liz, decided to run for the U. S. Senate against the well-liked incumbent, Republican senator from Wyoming, Mike Enzi.  The Cheneys came from Wyoming and dad Dick was once a congressman from there himself.   But Liz grew up in the Washington, DC area where her dad was in government.   She worked in government herself and has always lived in the DC suburb of Arlington, Virginia.

Still, four years ago, she sorta established residency in Wyoming by buying a house there -- just before she announced her campaign.  Then, as the campaign was getting started, she got bad publicity.   She thought it would help to get a Wyoming fishing license.

Wyoming has pretty strict residency requirements for regular hunting and fishing licenses, unlike the temporary ones out-of-staters can get.   So Liz filled out an application, claiming to be a resident, and put "10 years" in the box for how long.  Now this was a small town, and they knew damn well she had not lived there until a week or so ago, if at all.  So they denied her a resident's fishing license, saying she didn't meet the residency requirements. 

It was a big embarrassment.   Liz tried to blame the license clerk, but everybody knew she had lied.  So then, in an attempt to brand herself as a native and meet people, she took to going around the state in cowboy boots and Western attire, but that didn't take either.   She lagged way down in the polls and dropped out of the race before the primary to avoid a humiliating defeat.

That was four years ago.   Now Liz says she's going to run for congress to fill the seat of a retiring congressman from Wyoming.   The announcement was put on her Facebook page, which automatically posted the location from where it was posted:   Arlington, Virginia.

Oops !!!

Someone from Wyoming noticed  -- and now it's all over the news.   Once again Liz is getting off to a bad start with the Wyoming people over whether she qualifies as One of Them.

She doesn't.   Really.   And they know it.
