In the Biden administration's uncanny ability to put the wrong people in the wrong jobs, naming John Podesta to be the new "climate czar" might be its masterstroke.
The White House announced recently that John Podesta will oversee $370 billion in clean energy investments included in the Inflation Reduction Act. This makes him the decision-maker for handing out money to make green energy a viable, cost-effective replacement for fossil fuels. Green energy subsidies and other government giveaways have been tried before, and failed, but not at this scale. With so much money at stake, you might have expected the administration to choose someone with a strong background in energy technologies or perhaps someone possessing deep experience in the energy business who can spot the good (and bad) uses for all that money.
Podesta, now 73, is, as the New York Times primly calls him, "a power broker." His long career in Washington began in the Jimmy Carter era, then it was on to jobs on Capitol Hill. In 1988 he made his first trip through the famous "revolving door" to start a lobbying firm with his brother, Tony. During the Clinton administration, Podesta went through the revolving door again to several jobs, concluding as President Bill Clinton's last Chief of Staff in the White House. Post-Clinton, he founded the Center for American Progress (CAP), a left-leaning think tank, and was later chairman of Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful 2016 presidential campaign.

I don’t remember the Great Gazoo being evil?
I remember him being mostly irritated but sympathetic to Fred & Barney.
$370 Billion in the hands of a communist intelligence operative. What could go wrong?
Biden administration = Quicksand
He knows where the bodies of the underaged boys are, and who used them prior to disposal.
The traitorous democrats have written billions of $$ into the Covid and Inflation bills, to further their destruction of America, even if the Republicans take over the House and Senate. They’re very smart that way.
Podesta is in charge of directing (scattering) that money around, so it can’t be defunded, or rescinded by the House.
He’s the right sleaze for the job, and will be most effective in its implementation.
Every crime family needs a bag man.
Victoria Nuland,John Podesta,Susan Rice ,Samantha Powers all Clinton Obama scumbags,they are the ones running the country not the senile pedophile biden
Don’t worry. The next pubbie Congress will investigate, put Podesta on the hot seat, demand testimony and . . . never mind.
Nah...”will investigate...and increase the ‘investment’ to $750 billion”
“He is a smarmy small man with a distinct weasal demeanor. Did something really stupid , that I observed and still laugh about. POS”
You described him a lot better than I did, Leo.
(Care to share what the little puke did? If not, I understand.)
He ( and his wife , and a friend) couldn’t find their way out of a very plainly marked parking lot. This in the immediate aftermath of managing the Clinton campaign. I was not impressed. A very furtive vibe....
LOL. I can picture it. TY so much!
When I identified him , by name , looking him directly un the eyes , he had a momentary panicked,exposed, look .He was clearly hiding out from any & all Trump inauguration activities. As far away as he could get ( from Hillary’s wrath?)
It sounds like you read him like a book and he knew it, Leo.
No I mean that green faced doctor sinister....btw how cool that it was Harvey Korman doing Gazoo?
I don’t really remember Dr Sinister!
Yeah, I always liked the Gazoo character!
Wow, that Podesta guy is a pretty good painter.
Very talented.
mumblehummer loves pedo art
