Liz Cheney Awarded a New Job

The new job is nepotism at its finest. The same day that former Vice President Dick Cheney, her father, retired from the board of trustees of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation, the board unanimously voted to appoint her to the panel.

Cheney, who was recently ousted from her role as House Republican Conference chair for constantly siding with Democrats and ignoring the will of her voters, says that she is honored to take on this new role.

“It’s a great honor to follow in my father’s footsteps and to have the honor of serving on the Foundation that President Ford established,” Liz Cheney said in a press release. “His leadership in Congress and in the White House has inspired my own work on Capitol Hill.

“Gerald Ford is the type of public servant America needs today. He fearlessly modeled integrity, courage, loyalty, civility, and decency — all benchmarks of what good public service looks like in our American democracy,” she added.

Ah, Gerald Ford. He really got Republicans blood pumping, eh? A real winner, that one!

He was SO courageous that his "truthtelling" book was published AFTER his death, at his request.

Ford was an ‘Edsel’ in a GM suit.

I suppose she could become a cafeteria lady at the high school. I am not running them down now, as a dear aunt of mine did that job for years. But it would be so funny to see Liz in one of those hairnets.

My bet is that she will find some high sounding reason to retire. Maybe like her new responsibilities at the Gerald Ford Library.

Looks like a mostly ceremonial position on an antiquated Think Tank-Echo Chamber.

Wonder if our Pals George Will, John Bolton and Bill Kristol are seated on this panel?
A Ship of Fools, on course to the pasture.

So, another "Republican" organization that conservatives should ignore. At least they're making it easy to identify them.

Wow, proud that she was following in the footsteps of a mediocre, at best, leader.

Good, she’s going to need the job after the election.

He was, but he did know how to use that veto though.

Our Representatives in Washington must not be kept
very busy doing the People's work since they have time
to work at other unrelated jobs. And does Cheney get
paid for this "work?"

Ford was compromised.

“Rometsch got around, and her sexcapades extended beyond the White House. Another of the seductress’ conquests was Gerald Ford, then a Congressman. After Kennedy was killed, Ford was appointed to the Warren Commission investigating the JFK assassination. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was frustrated with the Warren Commission, because it was not sharing its findings with him. However, he had dirt on Ford: his affair with Rometsch. So he used that information to blackmail Ford into sharing the Commission’s findings. As described by a contemporary: “Hoover had this tape where Jerry Ford was having oral sex with Ellen Rometsch. You know, his wife had a serious drug problem back then… Hoover blackmailed Ford to tell him what they were doing“.
