It’s all about what is really important to the White House.
President Obama’s new “Ebola czar” Ron Klain is not only a skilled political operator, but a longtime Washington D.C. partisan insider.
Klain’s history of working for key Democrats in Washington suggests that Obama is picking someone that will not just silence some media critics, but members of his own party. His partisan nature, however, is likely to draw fire from Republican critics.
As Chief of Staff for Vice President Joe Biden, Klain was largely responsible for bringing then-TIME reporter Jay Carney to the White House as the Press Secretary for Biden. Carney moved to the Obama administration after Press Secretary Robert Gibbs stepped down in 2011.
Here’s another sterling recommendation for putting Klain at the head of a bureaucracy with a $6.2 billion dollar budget.
As Biden’s chief of staff, Klain had a key role in implementing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and signed off on one of its most controversial projects: a $535 million loan guarantee to solar panel maker Solyndra.
Top.Men.
I was so sure that a community organizer would see that the way to solve a problem was to roll up your sleeves and work on it, not to posture and lobby and sloganeer.
My whole concept of community organizing has been shaken. I need to go lie down.
– The crap flow coming out of the WH is getting sooooo bad even that bastion of Leftist screed, CNN, is choking on the Progressive narrative vomit.
It’s okay. See, Klain has to report directly to Susan Rice. What could go wrong?
Does this mean Obama has two Ebola Czars? One in charge of emergency preparedness, and one in charge of political cover?
Top. Men.
Indubitably
Off topic. I was thinking about the 25th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake and recalled that both the POTUS and the Governor of California were Republicans.
The earthquake was reacting to the awfulness of the conjunction.
QED
– Here is someone else reacting to the awfulness of the conjunction of the Hildebeast and running for public office.
Speaking of Top. Men.:
Insiders Blame Rove for Covering Up Iraq’s Real WMD.
And speaking of the Top. Man whose the subject of this very special post, I heard Mark Levin say that Ron Klain was the vicious partisan hack who came up with the idea of trying to steal the 2000 Presidential election through the Florida courts.
So that kind of has me thinking my earlier joke about being forced to stay home on election day isn’t.

Neither “Ebola Czar” at White House “Ebola Strategy Meeting.”
What do you suppose they were strategerizing? How to protect the U.S. from an Ebola outbreak, how to blame the Republicans for anything bad that happens Ebola-wise, how to make it past Nov. 4 without handing the Republicans a veto-proof majority, or how to make sure they don’t leave their fingerprints on Faster and Furiouser 2 –Africa’s revenge on the White Slaveocracy?

more lyrical that way.
If I was one of those people, I’d write a bad song parody to the tune of “Money for Nothing” and post all 75 verses here.
But I’m not, so I’ll just drop this ugly ear worm here “I want my CDC”. Doodlee doo. Do doodleee etc etc.
Moderation?! I really have been in internet hiding too long.
It’s not just you, LMC. Spamalanche has caused somebody to switch back (temporarily, I presume) to moderation by default.
Ugh. Oh well.
Anyone else get a rash of new twitter followers over the last couple? I don’t think I’ve twatted times than three times over the last year, but now for some reason real people are following me.
Is it the dick pics? Cause they are old, it’s bigger now and that spot has mostly gone away.
Ron Klain. I should pshop the backs of his head at waist-level, kneeled in front of his two Vice Presidents, both of whom have their most characteristic goofy and wildly satisfied facial expressions in place, and set it up as a caption contest.
A shame that by the time I get around to it, it’ll be done already.
I have seven followers on Twitter; two are family and one is because during football season sometimes I tweet about the MSU Bulldogs (even when they’re not in the Top Five). Main reason I don’t have more is, my follows are mostly for info about severe weather in my area when it’s imminent.
For me, picking up an eighth follower would be remarkable.
Followers are overrated. Best thing about following a great number of other twitterers is watching the stream of tweets pass by.
It’s like panning for gold in the Ocoee river what’s running at full-generation: you’ll see a sparkling glimmer on occasion, if your signal-to-noise tools are refined properly. But I enjoy that firehose effect.
For more professional-grade results, create a few lists (or subscribe to someone else’s list) and just watch content that’s specific to that list.
The way you’re using Twitter seems pretty laid back, like you’re running a kayak in a creek in the Sahara desert… )
When it does rain in the Sahara, it’s a flash flood event in which a kayak is about the only way to survive.
And on my Twitter feed, for the reason I have it these days, that’s about right.
Kayaks are for communists. It’s canoe, old spice or aqua velva for any true American.
My reply to you, McGehee, got eaten.
Kayak.com, on the other hand, is for people who like to travel more than they like to look for travel deals.
Your reply to which, Bob (who just became my eighth Twitter follower)?
You sayin’ Joe Namath ain’t a real ‘Murican?
Yes, as I became #9 several hours ago.
