Kerlikowske announcement expected today

WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration plans Wednesday to nominate Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske as the nation's drug czar.

Vice President Joe Biden was expected to name Kerlikowske as chief of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, a job that requires Senate confirmation, at a midday ceremony, an administration official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the announcement had not yet been made.

Kerlikowske had been widely expected to be named to the position, after his name was leaked in early February. The administration official said the delay in announcing his appointment was not linked to disclosures that his stepson, Jeffrey, had an arrest record on drug charges.

He takes over for John Walters, who held the job under former President George W. Bush.

The administration official said that Biden was making the announcement given the "breadth of knowledge" he has on U.S. drug policy.

"The vice president will work closely with the director-designate to oversee both the international and domestic anti-drug efforts," the official said.

The agency will no longer have Cabinet-level status, but the official said that Kerlikowske "will have a seat at the table when important decisions are being made ... and full access and a direct line to the president and vice president."

"his stepson, Jeffrey, had an arrest record on drug charges....."

So this is how O'Bozo picks them?....He asks if anybody in the family has a problem with drugs or not paying taxes and then you're in?....

So how long will this pick of Zer0’s last, when he is exposed to the world without being protected by the left wing mediots and community organizers in Seattle.

Here’s another “do-nothing” position that should remain unfilled. Permanantly.

I think about the only thing he did was put more cops on bicycle patrols. The rank and file call him “Girlikowske”.

It will be interesting to see what about his past will come out.

Keep us posted.

Now if we can find a federal post for the Queen.

Let’s hope he starts with admonishing Mexico to stop the political corruption and bribery that is so prevalent there that is causing much of the problem. Mexico needs to get tough on its gangs too. The Mexican drug lords need to be put out of business for good. It would also help by having large scale drug rehab centers in every single city of the US as well.

Girlikowske is a paper-shuffler. He won’t do anything but pose for the camera...

I guess this means that Gil Kerlikowske doesn’t pay his taxes.
