Bob Schieffer's (CBS News) Brother is Bush's Pick for Ambassador

http://www.opensecrets.org/bush/ambassadors/schieffer.asp

<snip>

Tom Schieffer may be a Democrat, but he still has a lot in common with President George W. Bush, namely baseball and oil.
Schieffer, Bush's nominee as ambassador to Australia, is the former president of the Texas Rangers baseball team who worked with Bush when the former Texas governor was part owner of the team. Schieffer is also a Dallas attorney whose clients reportedly include several oil and gas companies.
Schieffer served three terms in the Texas legislature as a Democrat. But he was a supporter of Bush's campaigns for governor and president. His brother, Bob, is a CBS News correspondent.

3. Well, well, well.

And those softball questions ol' Bob threw at Il Dubya during the debate he moderated are not related at all, don'tcha know.

5. Gee. What a surprise...and this makes it extra special certain that

Schieffer will never give an honest news report at CBS. Wonder if Schieffer was involved in the bogus documents about Bush's TANG AWOL?
