The unforgiving minute: Still waiting

As we all settle in to watch Jeb "The Smarter One" Bush begin his dance of the seven veils, this might be a good time to recall that, after packing an extraordinarily high number of gaffes and missteps into a comparatively short Wyoming Senatorial primary campaign last fall, Bush's fellow legacy Republican Liz "Spawn of Dick" Cheney pulled out of the race in early January, offering this explanation:

Citing health concerns in her family, Cheney said the issues arising prompted her to end her GOP primary challenge to Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.).

“Serious health issues have recently arisen in our family, and under the circumstances, I have decided to discontinue my campaign. My children and their futures were the motivation for our campaign and their health and well-being will always be my overriding priority,” Cheney said in the statement.

Three months and one day later, we're still waiting for any particulars on the needy-relative story to emerge. . . .
