Liz Cheney joins Fred Thompson's "all star" team

http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/013/764cbfmo.asp

<snip>

FRED THOMPSON IS adding more big-name policy talent as his testing-the-waters committee continues to grow into a real presidential campaign. Among the new additions: Mark Esper, national security adviser to former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist; Joel Shin, a top policy staffer on Bush-Cheney 2000; and Elizabeth Cheney, a former top official in the State Department's Near East and South Asia department.

3. Isn't it about time for EC to have another baby?

I'm sick of her daddy putting her in all these positions.

5. So that means that Fred Thompson is Dick Cheney's "chosen one"

...to pick up where Cheney left off.

Let me see....Fred Thompson is a huge supporter of freeing Libby. Mary Matalin is considering joining the Thompson team as an unpaid advisor (also a Libby supporter). Liz Cheney is now on Thompson's team....so she can report his political progress back to Daddy. Oh, and let see....some of Thompson's former GOP colleagues say Thompson is "lazy" and "doesn't like to work long hours".

Yes folks, we are witnessing the formation of a George W. Bush clone! :banghead:

6. Oh well...the power structure is incestuous

same old names keep popping up over and over again...good thing we don't have royal families in our American democracy. Whew...am I relieved or what?

and goodness knows it's healing for our nation to overlook the crimes of those selfless public servants who strayed off course...pity and mercy..pity and mercy...and we're a stronger nation for all that healing too!!

In fact, I am beside myself with joy.

7. Another little item in this cozy cabal is that when Wolfie's mistress

left the World Bank to go to the State Dept., her new boss at State was Liz.

8. Here's a DU thread with background info on Thompson:

I'm finding this innocuous sounding press release a bit disturbing.
