I googled Dick Cheney today to check up on how it's going for our favorite ex vice-prez. Check this out: in a stunning twist of fate, his former chief of staff, the lovely David Addington is now--sharp intake of breath--headed for the Heritage Foundation. I'll now take a pause for a period of ungovernable Olympian mirth.
And if tepid press inquiries are any indicator, he's headed for prime 'uncontactable' star status:
"A Heritage spokesman referred all questions today to a voice mailbox with Addington’s name"
Wow, his own voice mailbox? Did we mention digital? Yes, the Heritage Foundation has computers. And phones with mailboxes, too.
But get this, here's the cherry on the cake:
"He is succeeding Stuart Butler, a policy analyst who is starting a new “think tank within a think tank” at Heritage."
Zing!
