This is fun. It appears that Dick Cheney has been looking to hire a taxpayer-funded press critic. Over at The Daily Politics, Ben Smith has obtained a privately-circulated email looking for someone to fill the job of Cheney's press assistant. Here's how part of the email describes the gig:
The Press Assistant is responsible for monitoring media for various national security and domestic issues, informing the Press Secretary and Deputy Press Secretary of issues of note and factual inaccuracies in the media.Smith reports the job's been filled. Sounds like a great gig: Spending your day searching for evidence of non-existent liberal bias in the media and and non-existent anti-troops reporting.
