DASCHLE'S TENTACLES-The ultimate Washington Insider-Owns new Administration?

Almost looks like Daschle's New Government according to Washington Post At least we finally know that Daschle was not weak and inept as Majority Leader-but calculating.
Apparently there is no end to what one may accoplish in politics by letting the public think you are naive or dumb.

"Daschle's tentacles, moreover, stretch far beyond the agency Obama picked him to lead, reaching across the entire administration from the upper echelons of the White House to mid-level departmental positions to Obama's kitchen cabinet".

"At least a dozen Daschle alumni are stepping into the highest positions of the federal government. Already, Obama and Vice President Biden have tapped Daschle veterans to manage their staffs, guide foreign policy and craft public relations strategy. In addition to the new HHS chief of staff, the chiefs of staff to Biden, the National Security Council and Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner all worked for Daschle. His allies oversaw Obama's transition team -- including vetting Daschle himself -- and one serves as the president's personal lawyer."
