Liz Cheney Leading the March Towards Iran
Now listen up, people of Iran! Darth Vader's daughter has her eyes on you!

Elizabeth "Liz" Cheney, daughter of Dick Cheney, is leading the march towards Iran.

She's known in the Department of State as the "democracy czar" or even better still, the "freedom agenda coordinator."

Officially, her title is Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs. And in that position, Liz Cheney oversees a $85 million budget, which has recently been allocated to help promote democracy in Iran. You know, like we promoted democracy in Iraq. That worked out so well, of course!

And never mind the fact that nepotism is taking place here. The daughter of the Vice President of the United States is getting paid big bucks to be a high-level official in the State Department.

Imagine if all the votes had been counted in Florida, and Al Gore was allowed to assume the office to which the American people elected him. Sometime after that, his eldest daughter Karenna was named to the top echelons of the State Department.

Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and the rest would have had a field day.

2. Aren't there laws against nepotism in government?
Will the twins be heading up the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives soon?

Or are they already tucked in somewhere in a figure head job? Would not surprise me in the least.

12. Jenna will be given a job as advisor for alcohol rehab
Barbara will be given a job as advisor to education. She will hire mother as a special consultant.

Jenna will hire Nicole at $150,000 a year for her expert knowledge.

George P will be hired as an advisor for ethnic/morally challenged minorities and his mother will be hired as an interpreter. Job includes how to avoid tariffs

Neill will become an advisor on relief for the elites through prostitutes. Know which doors to knock on. Good for another $150,000 sucked from the taxpayers.

7. That's Mary Cheney, but she's no better. She had a job with Coors
to reach out to the gay community, until Pete Coors decided maybe that wasn't such a good campaign slogan.

6. I used to work with these nepotism babies. How everyone loathed them!
They would come in at higher pay grades than the civil service people who actually did the work. They were held in total scorn but I guess they just laughed all the way to the ban

8. And what's more....
Look at what has been happing at the Justice Department, in particular the Voting Rights Section of the Civil Rights Division.

The political appointees have been freezing out the career civil servants.

For example, the career lawyers at DOJ gave the thumbs down to Tom Delay's redistricting plan, saying it violatd the Voting Rights Act.

But the politicos overruled the career folks and approved it.

The Bush Crime Team has been demoralizing the career civil servant force throughout the government.

10. If I were Ahmadinejad or the Iranian mullahs,
I'd be smiling right about now. No doubt they've heard about Cheney's "itchy trigger finger". I'm positive they know Cheney is also incompetent.

Everybody talks about "Bush the Clown" but hardly anybody mentions Cheney being an idiot too. Now, Cheney is cunning....like the drug addict who figures out how to raid mom's purse right after she's been paid. Cheney may sound intelligent, but that's just window dressing. He's incompetent, every bit like Bush. Some people who know the VP for a long time call it the "curse of Cheney" meaning he screws up everything that's been entrusted to him.

And haven't we seen that in Iraq & Afgh.

So Elizabeth Cheney will probably do the same thing. First of all, she'll funnel about half to her own checking account. Gotta compete with CondaLoser, after all. Next, she'll stupidly find rebel groups. She'll bribe them with big bucks to wreak havoc in Iran. They'll double-cross her. Take the money, and maybe use it to fund their own terrorist groups.

13. That's the best analogy for Cheney I've read yet!
"... like the drug addict who figures out how to raid mom's purse right after she's been paid."

Wow. Right on. That is how he raids America, the cunning bastard.

11. Cheney couldn't shoot a gun straight
but he's having a daughter raking in the bucks on the public dole in the administration when she has no qualifications? Imagine that with this elitist administration.

I imagine Mary who pimped for glbt votes for the GOP in 2000 and disappeared in 2004 will be soon named to be ambassador of diversity at a salary of $160,000 with full benefits.

The Cheney family are one sick group of puppies. (Not to give puppies a bad name)
