And the train kept a-rollin’
President-elect Barack Obama’s top choice for secretary of homeland security is Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, multiple Democratic sources close to the transition told CNN on condition of anonymity.
You remember Napolitano, right? She’s the one who vetoed four separate right to carry bills while Governor.
That’s a lovely attitude to have for someone who may be heading the Department of Homeland Security.
And you remember Tom Daschle, right? The guy who lost his Senate seat to John Thune, in part, because of his support for the renewal of the scary looking guns ban in 2004.
Well, he’s gonna be your new Secretary of Health and Human Services. I’ve also heard that he’s having a plaque made up for his office that says, “Firearm Violence is a Diseaseâ€.
OK, just kidding with that last line. Probably.
And as a closer, Countertop warned us against this, but Henry Waxman (D-Hollywood) appears to be halfway to winning the battle to take the Chairmanship of the Energy and Commerce Committee from John Dingell with help from SanFranNan. If you didn’t call your Representatives and the people Countertop suggested then, now might be a good time.
