Ken Salazar - Dickhead

[BSmack]

I couldn't agree more Sam. Obama should fire Salazar and replace him with an honest to God environmentalist.

[Moving Sale]

He is a tard but the 'boom to nowhere' label is a bit misguided. I'll take the word of the people in charge of the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge over the word of Laguna Key homeowner John Simms, whoever the hell that is.

"I couldn't agree more Sam. Obama should fire Salazar and replace him with an honest to God environmentalist."

And while he's at it, why not nominate and honest to God judge to the Supreme Court?

Of course you wouldn't be expected to know any of this (or care), but some of the greatest Supreme Court justices were never judges before they were appointed.

In fact, it was common practice before about 20 years ago.

If you want to bitch about Obama, which I realize is your primary only objective here in what's left of your mostly useless existence, you might suggest that he appoint somebody who isn't from either Harvard or Yale.

Of course you wouldn't be expected to know any of this (or care), but some of the greatest Supreme Court justices were never judges before they were appointed.

Of course they all had some experience in government or as an actual attorney. None of them were cloistered, Ivory Tower acadamics. Harriet Miers was a titan of jurisprudence by comparison.

Evidently the Hussein regime doesn't believe that Ivy League douchnozzles have done enough damage to the country yet.

Of course you wouldn't be expected to know any of this (or care), but From 1995 to 1999, Kagan served as Clinton's Associate White House Counsel and Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy and Deputy Director of the Domestic Policy Council. And since 1/5/2009 she's been Solicitor General of the United States.

I guess none of that counts as "experience in government".

Evidently the Hussein regime doesn't believe that Ivy League douchnozzles have done enough damage to the country yet.

Can't argue with that one, though.

No, it doesn't. I had something a little more substantial in mind. Do nothing patronage plums aren't particularly impressive.
