Daddy's 5th Deferment Fraudulently _________

Fill in the blank with whatever you want. Heh.

From Wyoming's News Source via TPM.

Senate candidate Liz Cheney improperly received a state resident fishing license based on an application with incorrect information, according to Wyoming Game and Fish Department records.

Cheney, who last month announced she will challenge Sen. Mike Enzi in the 2014 Republican primary, received her resident license just 72 days after closing on her Wilson house in May 2012. State law requires residents live in the state 365 consecutive days before they can receive a resident hunting or fishing license, which are cheaper than out-of-state licenses.

Cheney’s application also lists her as a 10-year resident of Wyoming.

The Game and Fish records are incorrect, Cheney told the Star-Tribune.

“The clerk must have made a mistake,” she said. “I never claimed to be a 10-year resident.”
That's about par for the course, privileged rich white lady, blame the clerk. It is not in the Cheneys' makeup to ever admit a mistake. Or worse.

It has been my experience that every government form, application, etc. has at the bottom a phrase something like "I hereby certify the above to be true and correct". Directly below that is your signature.

Should this ever go to court, which is unlikely, the opposing lawyer will simply show her the form and ask "Is that your signature?"

Who will she blame then? Don't worry, she'll find somebody.

There are penalties for submitting incorrect information on an application, he said.

The fine for a false statement on the application is $220 and is a misdemeanor, he said. If Game and Fish imposes the fine and Cheney chooses to contest the fine in court, a judge could ratchet up the fine to $1,000.

“At this point we’re going to follow up on this like any other residency issues,” Nelson said. “It’s at the initial stages of verification.”
Yes, they are no doubt "verifying" whether or not to take on the Voldemorts Cheneys over such a small matter. After much carping and floundering, probably not.

They really need to follow-up and take action.
Isn't it always the Rs that trumpet "personal responsibility" and 9/11 Giuliani's enforcement attitudes regarding "broken windows" ??

Apparently the Cheney's Wyoming roots are shallow and sickly. There seems a shortage of people who are enthralled by Miss Liz and just feel so lucky that she's willing to represent little old Wyomiing. :)
