This woman is a dyed in the wool Democrat, but the AP chooses to ties Bush to her because she is a DISTANT cousin of one of his employees.

Count Tom Brokaw and NBC Nightly News in as well.

Watch for round the clock coverage now that the media has even the slimmest of slim ties to someone within earshot of President Bush.

It's not like any of us can pick our relatives. We can pick our employees.
I am disgusted.
Lindauer's father, John Lindauer, owned newspapers in Alaska and was the Republican nominee for governor there in 1998. He was defeated and later pleaded no contest to two charges stemming from campaign finance problems related to the campaign. He received a one-year suspended sentence, two years of probation and a $15,000 fine. Susan Lindauer also is a distant cousin of White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, said White House press secretary Scott McClellan.
Lindauer worked at Fortune, U.S. News & World Report and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer before beginning her career as a political publicist.
She worked for Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., in 1993 and Rep. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., in 1994, before joining the office of former Illinois Sen. Carol Moseley Braun as press secretary in 1996. From March to May 2002, she worked for Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif.

And they didn't even say what the relationship was. Amazing the way the press can put anything out there that they want. And MOST of the general republic accepts it as fact...
I found it funny that Shep Smith on Fox acknowledged that she was a former employee, but she was "terminated".. laugh

There was a report that she attempted to drop some papers at Card's house, that he was the "government offical." Maybe Card dimed her out.

This angle is really unbelievable. I mean, I have first cousins I have never even met! And how "distant" a cousin is she? It must have been a tough call, whether to put in the headline that she is a cousin of Mr. Card or the fact that she worked at Fox.
To: 11th Earl of Mar
Wait until Monday's news cycle when the media uses Familyforrest.com to trace her relationship to President Bush.

Amazing.....just an amazing twist.

Well this calls for a full investigation of Andrew Card. He must make himself immediately available for Teddy Kennedy to grill.
Even the prospect of a eminence of penumbra of a distant relation must be fully investigated.

CNN.com - American charged in Iraqi conspiracy - Mar 11, 2004 <-- Link
McClellan said Lindauer made "various attempts" to contact Card and said she was in contact with the Iraqi regime.
Card "brought that to the attention of the appropriate officials" at the Justice Department, McClellan said.
A government source told CNN that Card was not home when Lindauer delivered the letter to his house.
The source said Card immediately notified the Justice Department and turned the letter over to authorities. Card also informed President Bush of the investigation, the source said.

Keekeerist. Everyone of us has a cousin, or two, that received too many of the wrong genes, or not enough of the right ones.
Remember, Rule #1. You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your relatives. (Rule #2. You can pick your nose. You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friend's nose.)
Go ahead. Admit this axiom of life. You'll feel better.
