Cheney has been "disinvited" by the family because of criticism of Mondale by the Republicans yesterday" according to a local newscast I heard.

The way I heard it was that the stupid (my word) Republicans challenged the democrats yesterday to five debates in five days before the mourning period for Sen. Wellstone ended.

The Republicans may have been upset at all the free press that Mondale was getting while he made up his mind as to whether or not to run for U.S. Senator.

My guess is that the Republicans were just stupid, that is, unable to learn from the lessons of history.
