A Bigwig Among Us?

Posted on November 1st, 2007 5:25pm by Glenn Hunter
Filed under Local News

Field spies tell us about 40 motorcycle cops and a fleet of police cars were gathered not long ago in or around Dallas Love Field. Then a short time later, they say, a bunch of “Secret Service” types had blocked off a bunch of prime parking space at Highland Park Village. Anybody out there know if someone important’s in town?

    Nice work, Glenn. Robert Wilonsky had this item up six days ago.

    Dick and Lynn. They went to the Beretta Gallery and as they were driving away, they waved at us.. because of course we were standing across the parking lot staring the whole time.

    So, if Cheney was spotted at the Beretta Gallery, would it be fair to say, “Dick’s locked and loaded”? (sorry, it’s the end of the day.) I just hope no one gets hurt.

    my coworker had the balls to go in while he was shopping. turns out he only got sweaters :/

    Oops. Turns out Cheney is speaking tomorrow night to the World Affairs Council at the Hyatt Regency.

  • Rod Dreher @ November 2nd, 2007 at 12:58 am

    Actually, he’s speaking at the Hyatt tomorrow at lunch. We’re told to expect a “major announcement.”

    Police cars are lined up around Woodall Rodgers and St. Paul as well, and up Field St…just hope he doesn’t go west on Commerce
