Biden's chief of staff leaving post at end of month
2011-01-05
(KUNA) -- The chief of staff to Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
... an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body ...
 will depart his post at the end of this month, the Office of the Vice President confirmed on Tuesday.

Ron Klain, who also served four years as chief of staff to former Vice President, Nobel Prize winner, and crazed sex poodle Al Gore, plans to become president of Case Holdings.

In a statement, Biden said Klain had played a key role in establishing "the strong, positive relationship that exists between my staff and the President's team." "I am proud of the successes we have had over these two years, and I am grateful for the role Ron played in achieving them," Biden said.

#2  Will anyone really notice this departure? It can only be a good thing. More faster please.

#1  So, ... Case Holdings. And what is he going to do at Case Holdings? Well, head up Zipcar and Everyday Health. And these are?

Glad you asked. Zipcar is about alternatives to leasing or owning a car in urban environments. (I'm thinking subsidized electric Gov Motors vehicles here but that could be me being cynical. Again.) And Everyday Health is about online health services (from the guy who was the chief of staff for Mr. I-invented-the-Internet). My less positive side (98% of my being when it comes to politicians) says this has some tie to Obamacare. I could be wrong. My cynical side says both of these efforts are likely ticks, intended to suck the blood out of the country through subsidies. A Dem sinecure.

So, a new job linked to sustainable development and Obamacare related 'businesses'. What could go wrong. And, he worked there before.
