Mayor Buttigieg appointed to head DOT.

Mayor Buttigieg appointed to head DOT.
Good for him. I would have voted for him if he'd been nominated for president... Oh well......



But - bet on it - the following WILL be on late night -


President Elect Biden nominated former South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg to head the Department of Transportation today.

That will make him out of the closet - but now in the cabinet.....

Yup, continuing the trend of predictable and utterly disappointing picks and policies. I wish him well at any rate, I hope they manage to get something done that he can put as a feather in his cap for the inevitable next run at the presidency.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I was hoping he would land somewhere that would give him federal experience of some sort. It will help if he decides to run for president again, I think.

That's what sticks in my craw about this one. Pete's getting federal experience (and getting out of indiana, where he has no political future) was more important than putting a qualified person in that role.

At least he didn't have to prove a criminal past to get the position.  Hell, he may not even need to be pre-pardoned in four years...what a concept.

Give him time..and federal experience, he's still young.

But can he double clutch? And do we really know anything about his bob tailing abilities?
