Is there any common sense left in Washington?

Won’t say I agree with everything here, but I really don’t like what is going on in Washington, and this article makes tons of sense… RS

The Senate is now falling all over itself to confirm all of President Obama’s nominees. My personal favorite is Timothy Geithner, admitted tax evader, who is set to earn “widespread bipartisan support” in his confirmation vote to be the next Treasury Secretary. So, the man who failed to pay taxes for several years and only got around to it when Obama nominated him to be Treasury Secretary is going to be confirmed because of the state of the economy. I guess the theory there is that it takes a tax evader to know one? Many Republicans are expected to vote to confirm this clown. To tax evaders everywhere I tell you that you have a friend in the Treasury Department!

Given that, I would propose that we search old footage of “To Catch A Predator” to find a child molester who happens to also have excellent credentials in the field of education to be the next Secretary of Education. As a teacher, I can attest to the fact that our education system is in need of major reforms. It’s too important to let something like kiddie porn to disqualify someone from the job. Let’s also find an illegal alien who happens to know a lot about security and put them in charge of border security. Since he knows a lot about planning terrorist attacks, let’s put Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in charge of Homeland Security (he’s going to be set free any day now anyway!)
