Say it ain't so, O!: Jamie Gorelick for what?
There's a rumor going around that Clintonista Jamie Gorelick -- she of Super Wall fame -- is on the short list for Attorney General. Bad idea. We need a third trillion dollar catastrophe like a hole in the head.
CWCID: Glenn Reynolds.

No, I can't see him picking somebody who has such a bad history with conservatives and liberals both (Think 9/11, and Privacy Advocates, and add in four years of Fanny time) and as such, stands a good chance of being rejected outright or at least leaving a running battle across the landscape.
Perhaps Andrew Cuomo, he does have a history in the Clinton cabinet and general "good rep". (which means a whole lot of people outside NYC say "Andrew who?")

Who knows, but I thnk it's a rumor started by Gorelick or her many, many fans; or alternatively, by folks who want to make Obama look bad.
I mean, he can't be that stupid, can he?

Wonder Boy thinks he has a mandate...so the cloak will be coming off. His greatest worry is that he will "over-reach" early on as Clinton did.
As we are all now considered to be "frogs-in-the-boiling water", we certainly don't want things to get too hot too fast, do we?!

The confirmation hearings would be interesting.
, atThis has to be about as likely as RFK Jr. getting EPA. The big game right now in DC is getting people to say your name. No doubt someone likes Gorelick, but I can't see this really happening.

I hear Tigerhawk has been mentioned as SecTreas.

As Gilda Radner would have said:
"Never mind!"
