I'd love to see the following fund-raising letter from Dick Cheney....

Dear fellow Republican...

You're probably expecting this to be another request for contributions to help ensure a great GOP victory next year in the race for the WH and the Congress....but the truth is, we're really doing OK in the money department. We'll meet our goals, probably exceed them. But if you want to send us more, that's OK, too...we'll put if to good use.

But that's NOT why I'm writing. In light of the recent Supreme Court decision on affirmative action, I've decided thagt it applies to political candidates also. Minority candidates need a little extra help. Accordingly, I've decided that all good Republicans should award Al Sharpton an extra 20 points, er $20, on his application to get into the White House. So please send hm a check for $20 today. Believe me, he'll put it to good use, and we in the republican party can just sit back and watch the fruits of affirmative action multiply...
