Last night I was trying to figure out who all these people are and what their backgrounds are, something I often do on a number of “officials”.
I stumbled upon this from the Washington Postoastie:
Google away from these intros. In my opinion, even with the positive spin provided by the Postoastie, these people are mostly far, far, far left with little to recommend them in the way of experience or accomplishment in some cases.
As you dig into the dossiers of these and other “officials” you find a massed collection of people who are WOP ...Without Portfolio, who have lived off of government programs, who have been career aides, bureaucrats, educators and wallstreeters (something I have never figured out leaving me with the impression that agression and guile are the most requisite qualifications for such work).
We have managed to elect a lot of spinators and congresscreeps who pretty much could not have real productive private sector employment nearly so gainful as they enjoy at the taxpayer trough.
Lots of political science majors, BA in somethig majors and of course lawyers. I don’t know about anybody else but those majoring the first two categories and pre-law were the ones who were generally partying, playing intramural sports and just generally goofing off while those of us in the college of engineering and pre-med worked our butts off.
