College president 'disappointed' by Cheney
Westminster College's president said he was so "surprised and disappointed" by Vice President Dick Cheney's attacks on John Kerry during a speech that he is inviting the Democrat to visit for a reply.
Fletcher Lamkin told The Associated Press that Cheney's staff approached him last week about using Westminster as the backdrop "for a major foreign policy address. Nothing was said about a stump speech."
In a campus-wide e-mail after the speech, Lamkin said: "I must admit that I was surprised and disappointed that Mr. Cheney chose to step off the high ground and resort to Kerry-bashing for a large portion of his speech."
Nicolle Devenish, a Cheney spokeswoman, said it was unfortunate that the speech came as a surprise to Lamkin because it was always intended as a "campaign message event."
