ABC News has the story:
Sarah Palin Under Consideration for VA Secretary
Sarah Palin is under consideration for secretary of veterans affairs, a close Palin aide and a top Donald Trump transition official tell ABC News.
The Palin aide tells ABC News that in “recent days,” Palin told Trump transition officials: “I feel as though the megaphone I have been provided can be used in a productive and positive way to help those desperately in need.”
The VA is the largest government agency with over 300,000 federal employees and a budget of $182 billion for 2017.
Palin’s son-in-law, Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer, posted a SarahPAC video to his Facebook page earlier this week that heavily focuses on her work with veterans and her specific connection to the community. Her eldest son, Track, is a veteran who served in Iraq in 2008. The video, which is not new, seems to clearly show her interest in the position, and in the speech, she hits the VA “bureaucracy,” saying it is “killing our vets.”

But that’s an awful job, the place is a mess.
I was hoping Mitt would get stuck with it.
Interior would have been perfect for Palin.
I never heard that Dakota Meyer was Palin’s son-in-law. I guess the MSM missed that one, eh?
It will make Libs crazy, but not as crazy as if she were nominated for State of for EPA or for Energy.
Marry me, Sarah!
Nominate a VET who has served honorably.
(I'm available, actually.)
Thought Meyer was an ex son-in-law.
>> Interior would have been perfect for Palin.
The problem is she is coastal when Interior begs for flyover.
I started to hear that popping sound sometime after November 8. Methinks it’s liberal / Democrat /progressive / heads bursting.

Whoever takes this job will have maybe the biggest challenge of all of the challenges in draining the swamp...besides the congress swamp that we cant get rid of
Good.
The VA bureaucrats are organized crime.
The Democrats justify stealing from the VA because there are so many men who use their services.
This is because more men have been in the service than women.
That fact doesn’t matter.
That is why so much of the problem with the VA is the women bureaucrats.
With Palin, it would be a female firing crooked female bureaucrats.
With a man, it would be gender discrimination.
alaska has a rather large interior
I think Palin would be better as Sec of Interior.
Palin was involved in Alaska as secretary of energy, and protected the environment while creating jobs in the oil fields.
Palin knows the wilderness, produced TV shows on Beautiful Americas majestic wilderness, and the National Parks and lands. She Fishes, Hunts, and participates in sleding, sking, and camping.
Besides wouldn’t Gen. Patreaus who commanded the men the VA treats and has their respect be better at draining the swamp at the VA. A 4 star General ordering the VA around would be something to watch.
She already has some "Hot Stuff" LoL!!
Palin or whomever will have to fight the AFGE. Not easy.
Now that just works for me, she would be just Great!!!
If there is someone who could drain that VA swamp I’d bet Palin could. Sarah...would kick butt and take names. Don’t know if she would want to leave the warmth of Alaska for the sure to be icy blasts in the District of Corruption.
i have no idea if that’s the best post for Palin or not, but I’d like to see her in the adminstration and maybe she has the moxie to clean up the VA?
If she had moved to Arizona, then she’d be closer. She bought the house but later sold it without spending much time there.
Sounds dangerous. Is there a cure? Is it catching?
