Su Made Premier

Damn! And so Chen Shui-bian flushes another DPP stalwart's career down the toilet.

Premier-designate Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) yesterday unveiled his choices for transportation, finance, economics and interior ministers as well as Government Information Office chief.

Speaking to reporters outside his apartment in Taipei, Su confirmed he has invited former Mainland Affairs Council chairwoman Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) to be vice premier based on her credentials in cross-strait and economic affairs.

Su said Tsai, now a DPP legislator-at-large, has accepted his invitation.

Are you serious? If you're joking then I didn't get it. Tsai Ing-wen ain't no Nita Ing. The two ladies can't be more different.

She's one of the people behind Lee Teng-hui's state-to-state formula, a policy wonk type.

Nita Ing

She's a career businesswoman, probably best known for her many years of relationship with her bodyguard.

Damn! Brain glitch! That's what I get for staying up all night watching season one of LOST.

Thanks for the catch!
