Another Crook in the White House

Should probably come as no surprise. Errol Southers, HO's pick to run the TSA, those wonderful folks who screen us for (well, us Seniors and those Vets with more metal in them than is on Mr. T)bombs in our toothpaste, our Evian and/or our tenni-pumps, apparently ran afoul of the law back in 1987-88. Unbeknownst to HO, of course.

Well, I believe that like I believe HO was born in HI. In case you haven't read it elsewhere, Southers while an agent of the FBI, used that position to checkout the background on his 'estranged wife's' new bo. I guess that was a no-no. And, while everybody else in the media knew about it, the most brilliant black dude to come down the pike in a millennia, was unaware of his little shortcoming. Yeah, right.

But even if he had known, and I'm pretty sure he did, and/or just didn't give a damn, he would have appointed him, or picked him anyway. When did qualifications ever get in the way of a democrat? Or, should I say politician? After all, it seems that if Jim DeMint from SC hadn't raised a question about Southers, he would have been a cinch appointee. Senator DeMint's question for Southers was whether he was for allowing the TSA to unionize. Wouldn't that be a-hell-of-a-note? I found this little tidbit of info on Eric Erickson's Red State.org blog. He also said the Washington Post says there are some serious issues in Southers' background. And, if the Post says that, you know there has to be something smelly.

Mr. Erickson ended his column with this neat sentence:

Only this White House would hire a tax cheat to enforce the tax laws and a peeping Tom of government records to peep on every Tom, Dick, and Harry going through airport security.

I imagine you've seen a list of crooks, thieves, hoods and various other kinds of scum running around the internet. The question that comes with the list is what organization has them...and it suggests a few answers, including the NFL, which isn't that far off, but the real answer is congress of the United States.

That's right. Our employees. We need to fire every last one of them, and try to start over.

Stay mad and keep writing your reps. Let them know how you feel, not that it will do any good. Look at the number of dems falling on their swords. Actually, I don't imagine any of them have a sword, but whatever they would equate with one...

Later.
