GOPMOM Note: The wheels on the bus go bump, bump, bump
Michelle Malkin has the whole sordid history of possible Commerce nominee, former, Washington Gov. Gary Locke.
Is it possible for Barack Obama to pick a Commerce Secretary nominee who’ll actually make it past first base? Bill Richardson withdrew in the midst of a pay-for-play scandal. Judd Gregg withdrew in the midst of a humiliating power play over the Census and porkulus bill.
Now, former Democrat Gov. Gary Locke — a lawyer for international firm Davis, Wright, and Tremaine who specializes in China — is rumored to be the next nominee for the post.
Am I the only one getting tired of this? At some point, doesn’t Obama have to find someone to fill the post? Is there really no one on their side of the aisle scandal-free-enough for the appointment? (Notice I didn’t say just scandal-free?)
It’s getting so bizarre even the most dedicated Obamabot has to have questions. Can you hear the chattering? Anyone?
