Wake me up when this nightmare is over...

[April Lexington]

She comes complete with Birkenstocks and a Volvo! Streaky Grey and black hair, too!

[ari-freedom]

we had 8 years to abolish the DoL....

[2ndDivisionVet]

The DoL does some good things: I was with the Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) at the U.S. Department of Labor helping fellow veterans find work, training, education, counseling and business opportunities for 12 years. My team won many VFW, AMVETS, American Legion and other awards for our work.

[ari-freedom]

that should go to dept of veterans affairs

[iowamark]

From Wikipedia:
Prior to Jobs with Justice, she was Deputy Field Director for NARAL Pro-Choice America, directing the pro-choice organization’s electoral, legislative, media and fundraising training programs for local affiliates. She also served as Field Director for the United States Student Association

labor leader with an adopted African American son.

I am so tempted to make an Obama/Webster/Different Strokes remark. Every rich white radical seems to want a black kid to raise in his own image.

[2ndDivisionVet]

We’ve been saying that for decades. It won’t, because that would make the veterans representatives Federal employees, rather than belonging to the 50 states and territories, which would make the program slightly more expensive. Believe it or not, the two programs (LVER and DVOP) have been dying on the vine, even as we fight two wars. Some of the states pay the counselors barely above minimum wage, whereas some pay really well, for the same exact duties...

[Tzimisce]

I feel better already. :D

[2ndDivisionVet]

I’m sure she’ll get the department back into shape, lickety split...

[machogirl]

i think that he’s already chosen a woman for a post who might have that orientation.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Who would that be? Or are you referencing a certain former First Lady?

[CautiouslyHopeful]

At least she sounds more up to Obama’s speed, unlike the musty, dusty Clintonoids that Obama was supposed to be against.

[midway]

This is the type of appointee we had been expecting from Obama and have been spared until now.

If she is appointed she will go all out for CARD CHECK.

Check her out on YouTube

[wafflehouse]

[Carley]

Waiting for an appointment for rachel madcow.

[rabidralph]

That’s nice, they had their meeting in a church./sarc

[Loyalist]

But is she a hot lesbian?

No.

[Doc Savage]

Oh yeah, well I want a communist, one-legged, Aids patient with dyslexia, Alzheimers and psoriasis. They have to be into beastiality, hard core porn, and mainline China White. They have to be 1/8th Tibetan, with an African grandmother, and 2/32nds Cherokee on their father’s side. I will not accept a candidate unless they are genetic mutants, obese, have halitosis. Try to beat that one Bonior!

[therut]

She looks like an older Rachael Maddow.

[DirtyHarryY2K]

I’ve been wondering when he will find Janet Reno a spot. She would fit right in the circus with the rest of these clowns.
