The Republican Party mistakenly invited an Ohio prisoner to a $2,500-a-plate fund-raising dinner in Washington with President George W. Bush. The invitation and a letter from Vice President Cheney were sent to Robert Kirkpatrick at the Belmont Correctional Institution in eastern Ohio. Kirkpatrick, thirty-five, was sentenced last year to nearly three years for drug possession and escape.<\/p>\n
