Gaps in the resume

By tfk on May 24, 2010.

Before they discovered Casey Luskin, the Disco. 'Tute's legal nerve cluster resided in Seth Cooper. Cooper offered his sage advice to the school board in Dover, PA, then left first for the staff of a state legislator, and then high-tailed it to a conservative legislative activism group in DC, leaving Disco. to Casey. Disaster ensued.

This is only relevant because I came across Seth Cooper's website, which includes this summary of his earlier career:

Prior to his work with ALEC, Seth worked in 2007 as a contract attorney in Washington State. He also served as a Caucus Staff Counsel in the Washington State Senate during its 2007 Legislative Session.

Notice anything missing? Cooper isn't ashamed to have been affiliated with the Discovery Institute, is he?
