Inept, inane & ignorant, but totally confident that they can be a breath of fresh air, like being downwind of a dead skunk on a 100 degree day.

Secretary of Labor? That's usually given to a female, though.

Old defeated liberals never die. They just keep getting reappointed to positions of power.

I will tell you, some of these Obama picks are more reassuring than anything else.

I mean these are standard Democratic appointees, did anyone expect him to appoint Jack Kemp? And what exactly did Jack Kemp accomplish?

We all had visions of Father Phlege at HUD, admit it.

“Can Monica Lewinsky be far behind?”

Posible job titles for Monica Lewinsky “Official Humidor” or “Official Knob Polisher”.

I'm deeply saddened to hear about obama's lack of judgement...but of course we knew about that before the election.
