Oh WHAT an editorial page

The Washington Post today has Bob Novak doing a 3.5 pike-triple axle-with a twist; George Will tries to tut-tut global warming; and low and behold Liz Cheney returns to the newspaper to do her father's bidding in writing a Nancy Pelosi smear-piece.

And how is she listed?

The writer was deputy assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs from 2002 through 2003 and principal deputy assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs from 2005 to 2006.

Not as the Vice-President's daughter. Writing a piece decrying talking to Bashar Assad (something she again implies ONLY Nancy Pelosi did) while not mentioning you too got your job because of who your daddy is takes irony to another level. It's almost as ironic as if the Supreme Court had put the learning-disabled child of another former leader in the White House.

I do love this comment to the article:

Liz - You are so right about Syria ... how compassionate of you to worry about the poor lebanese and the oppressed Syrian people? Now, can you please go help daddy pack his suitcase for his monthly trip to Saudi Arabia to go meet with the princes, kiss their hands and reiterate to them how much he is doing to enrich their oil ladden coffers so they can keep their wahabi schools running and prepare the next 911 legionaires so republicans can keep control of this countrys moronic public by fear mongering? Go daddys little girl! Go!

Fantastic job Mr. Hiatt.

This should really cause Deborah Howell to twitter a bit, if she was alive.
