ToDaZeD Word of the Day: Preference Cascade
But Wait! There’s Moah!
Erroll Southers, the embattled nominee to head the Transportation Security Administration, has announced his withdrawal ...
“...it is apparent that this path has been obstructed by political ideology." ...
“...It is clear that my nomination has become a lightning rod for those who have chosen to push a political agenda at the risk of the safety and security of the American people."
Your “nomination has become a lightning rod for those who have chosen to push a political agenda at the risk of the safety and security of the American people.
FIFY.
"This partisan climate is unacceptable and I refuse to allow myself to remain part of their dialogue. ..."
“Unacceptable”?!?? Gettin a little too warm in the kitchen fer ya? Too dirty prissy good for some political wrangling, are ya? Or, perhaps.... just perhaps, that “false testimony to Congress” thingy ... yanno, about misusing yer FBI access to check up on your ex-wife’s new boyfriend? Yeah—is that what’s worrying you, Binky?
It worried me. It worries Jim DeMint.
”...The Senate could have had an open and transparent debate this week to approve Mr. Southers, but apparently, answering simple, direct questions about security and integrity were too much for this nominee. ..."
[And another thing] “...TSA screeners can already join unions, but collective bargaining would force TSA officials to ask union bosses for permission to make critical security changes. ..."
And that’s what I’d call trying to “push a political agenda at the risk of the safety and security of the American people.”
Yet another Obama nominee goes down in flames. It’s getting to be a pretty exclusive - and pretty big - club.
I wonder if they ever get together for an evening of “I woulda done this” stories. Or “if only they hadn’t found out I made a couple of teeny little adjustments in my income tax filing”. Or “I’m still looking for the SOB who ratted on me for hiring that undocumented Philippine housemaid”.
