July 2nd, 2007 at 12:29 pmAEI’s press release notes that Wolfowitz has become “known for his advocacy of reform and political openness.â€
Yeah , just like the Chimpy administration ……….
They might as well have claimed that things are going “swimmingly” in Iraq , if that’s what they so stupidly believe and released………
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:30 pmWolfoshitz will lead us into World War III
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:32 pmHe will comb his hair with spittle every day there and smell like moldy cheese.
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:32 pmIt’s really interesting how an elistist can do a really, really bad job, and get a promotion…
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:36 pmTime to lock up the break-room refrigerator…
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:36 pmUnbelievable, it’s known as Blue-blood Affirmative Action. No incompetent legacy left behind.

July 2nd, 2007 at 12:37 pmWhy is TP making a big deal over someone beginning a non-government job? I couldn’t care if President Bush picked up the “visiting scholar” title as a second job. It’s non-news.
Would you like to see all political opponents unemployed, TP? It’s a job, not a luxury. It’s now commonplace for former top Republican figures to be employed with AEI.
You could at least stick to your causes, TP.
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:38 pmWolfowitz has become “known for his advocacy of reform and political openness. – - Oh, Wolfie’s been Charles Colsonized, eh? PFFFFT.
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:41 pmWait till Wolfie takes off his shoes in the break room > everybody will vacate the building > lol.
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:44 pmOnly a troll would argue that under this administration, a position at AEI is a “Non-Government Job”.
AEI wrote the new surge plan titled “Choosing Victory”.
They meet with Lieberman and McCain often to discuss…whatever.
Fred Thompson is a “Fellow” with AEI.
And their NeoCon fingerprint are all over the Office of Special Plans and the gear-up misinformation to the war.
Yeah, this is a non-issue. Maybe for people with no information.
But for the rest of us…
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:44 pm.
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:46 pmSoon to come from AEI: MORE FAILED POLICIES.
.
TP needs to post a LIEberman thread above this one. That would get the anger juices flowing today.
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:49 pmComment by willyloman
It is a non-government job. The democrat party must has their own favored interest groups to siphon influence. And judging from the “informational” posts in this thread, there’s not much to write home about. Your definition of information, please?
This is, indeed, a non-story.
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:49 pmMr. Wolfowitz became known for his advocacy of reform and political openness and for his interest in development issues,
along with his interest in women, which he recently got fired for over promoting his girlfriend along with such an enormous raise that even those who helped place him in the position turned against him.
AEI is the embryonic stage of Neoturdism. AEI had to hire poor Fred Thompson to help him put food on the table after bad acting led him to unemployment.
AEI will employ any Neoturd in trouble. Bar none. It’s the safety net for those who remain enthralled with Neoturdism.
AEI should be investigated with a fine tooth comb. Who knows what lies beneath the slick corporate logo & mealy mouthed misogynists?
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:51 pmIt may be a non-story, Dean, but informative as we look to AEI and it’s alum.
AEI has emerged as one of the leading architects of the second Bush administration’s public policy.[2] More than twenty AEI alumni have served either in a Bush administration policy post or on one of the government’s many panels and commissions.[3] Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Richard Cheney, is an AEI Senior Fellow.
The Guardian reports that AEI “has received more than $1.6m from ExxonMobil, and more than 20 of its staff have worked as consultants to the Bush administration. Lee Raymond, a former head of ExxonMobil, is (or was) the vice-chairman of AEI’s board of trustees,”
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:51 pmCT,
AEI is this government.
That’s how bad things have gotten. Open your eyes.
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:52 pmIt isn’t a non-story. The surge policy was concocted at AEI by Frederick Kagan and others. AEI has become a quasi-government advisory group to the Bush administration.
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:54 pmRighties are always trying to force unions to get their members’ permission before spending dues on advocacy.
It’s rather more appropriate that corporations be required to get shareholders’ permission to dump buckets of cash into these “think” tanks. The companies are, after all, their shareholders’ property, and this essentially amounts to a theft from the executives from the shareholders, as donations to these “institutes” have nothing to do with the proper operations of the businesses that donate to them.
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:54 pmhello!!!
Lewis Libby, Ex-Cheney Aide, Must Go to Prison During Appeal
By Cary O’Reilly
July 2 (Bloomberg) — Lewis “Scooter” Libby, an ex-aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, must go to prison while appealing his conviction for obstructing a CIA leak probe, a U.S. appeals court said.

We all need to do our parts to make sure that EACH AND EVERY PERSON aligned with this administration is TURNED INTO THE PARIAH that they deserve to be.
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:57 pmKaty- thanks for the update. And this is how it should be for those convicted of lying five times under oath.
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:59 pmSeems to be an increase in troll activity on the TP threads during the day now. It used to be just the evening hours. Karl Rove wants the threads buried in troll droppings.

Dean isn’t a troll. It appears to be just someone looking for love and acceptance.
There’s always a job opening in the right wing’s “Culture of Incompetence.”
July 2nd, 2007 at 1:11 pmA chickenhawk coming home to roost.

That is excellent. I bet it’s the only AA the SCOTUS will uphold.

Then why don’t you go elsewhere?

Then I hope I irritate you a lot, CT.

Exactly, and they have chased many regular posters away. It’s tempting, but then KKKarl and the trolls win.

July 2nd, 2007 at 1:46 pmDamn. CT thinks he can tell us what is a story and what isn’t. Well, if this isn’t a story, CT, move along. We’ll talk about this not-story while you and yours do the Nations work. ;)

chimpy and scholar is an oxymoron…you need to use another example here.
July 2nd, 2007 at 2:12 pmWolfie is back home again. Surrounded by like minded a-holes.

Note By Armando Gomez: OMMITTED IN THE RESUME IS WOLFOWITZ AS A SIGNATORY OF PNAC (PROJECT FOR A NEW AMERICAN CENTURY), A NEO-CONSERVATIVE THINK TANK WITHIN THE PENTAGON. ALSO, ALONG WITH PNAC, HE INSTIGATED A FRAUDULENT INVASION AND SET FORTH A U.S. OCCUPATION OF IRAQ. THESE OMITTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS ASSURE WOLFOWITZ HIS POSITION WITHIN THE AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTION.
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:10 pm“Visiting” scholar” means the NeoCons just drop in and flap their lips with absurdities, take no responsibility when things go badly, question even a video of their erroneous advice and then forget they were there giving that bad advice. “Visiting” too, because they are good at vacations and all tenuous stuff.
