Algore for Secretary of Energy?
November 16, 2008 – 11:07 pm by JohnOne of George W. Bush’s most derided and publicized shortcomings was all the terrible nominations and appointments he made for various governmental positions: Paul Wolfowitz as President of the World Bank, Harriet “Palpatine” Miers for Supreme Court justice, John Ashcroft as Attorney General, Alberto Gonzalez as Attorney General, John Bolton as Ambassador to the United Nations, etc., etc.
I was reminded of this when Barack Obama offered Hillary Clin-ton the Secretary of State position. What could he be thinking? Is he just trying to appease the Clintonite wing of the Democratic Party? Did somebody advise him that that was a good idea? Talk about compromising principles. She is one of the most hawkish Democrats in Washington. She is a power-hungry monster. Her heart is pure black and everyone with half a brain knows it. But, maybe he is trying to follow the old adage, Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
I wonder what other terrible appointments he’ll make in the coming months and years. The first one that came to mind is Algore for Energy Secretary. It makes sense, from the Obama camp’s perspective, doesn’t it? The sustainable energy guy, beloved by everyone on the left, winner of the Royal Swedish Academy’s Statist of the Year prize, producer of An Inconvenient Truth, denier of inconvenient truths about…well, just about everything. I almost want that to happen just to partake in the comical tragedy that Obama’s regime would become.

I’m thinking Hamid Karzai for Oil Minister, and, since there is a bipartisan reach-across-the-aisle kindof mood hanging in the air, Bill O’Reilly for Minister of Information.
