#1 Pretty cool - I hope she does a good job. Then again, the big 0 likes her, so she's probably worthless.

#2 I guess the person from Mars turned down the offer.

#3 I don't care what the hell she is as long as she is competent. However, competence is a rare commodity in Washington these days. Unfortunately. such appointments seem to be more about making a social statement than getting the job done. It's almost as if some diverty czar in human resources is looking at a Chinese menu and selecting two from column one, one from column two, etc. in making these appointments.

JohnQC, unfortunately this administration is nothing more than a high school Social Studies term paper; and a poor one at that.

#5 Rumor has it the O-Team really wants to name an Eskimo for some position but seeing as how Sarah Palin is from Alaska the complete diversity rainbow is just gonna have to wait.

#6 If she is qualified, law-abiding, and honest, I'm really not interested in such details.

Unfortunately, "qualified, law abiding and honest" is the exact opposite of an Obama appointee.

#8 Trying to shore up the gay vote. Hopefully the appointee has paid up all of her taxes.
