Well, duh.

I think I'd cry with joy if she got this job, but at this point I know better than to get my hopes up.

Lol, of course Summers and Geithner hate her, they're useless shitstains whereas she still has some integrity.

They better get her appointed. It would be a nice consolation prize for having to stomach the fact that this new consumer agency is going to end up under the jurisdiction of the fucking Federal Reserve.

Every argument Geithner uses seems like a better reason for Warren to get this job. He doesn't want her to get the post because she will actually use it to protect consumers . We can't possibly allow that to happen! The economy would collapse!

Yeah, I haven't exactly figured out what the F is his problem. Worst cabinet appointment ever. Excuse me, no - in a dead head with Sibelius.

Vilsack and Salazar were pretty shitty choices for their Depts. as well. The only Cabinet choice I'm happy with is Hilda Solis as Labor Sec.

I was impressed with Lisa Jackson getting CO2 declared a pollutant, if nothing else.

Fuck off, Timmy.
