Trump’s Department of Education chief can’t defend a single position she holds on education during 60 Minutes interview. Completely incompetent for the job. Only the best people...

I recall a thread from last year in which Whell (falsely) sang her praises for running a successful charter school (she didn't run it, she financed it).

So unsuitable for the job that they had to bring in Pence to cast the deciding vote. A year later, she’s proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that she’s unsuitable. Whell’s an idiot, as we are well aware, so can be ignored.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Furious about her treatment on the CBS news-magazine program on Sunday night, Betsy DeVos spoke to reporters on Monday, and called “60 Minutes” a “total waste of a half hour.”

“I had never watched ‘60 Minutes’ before, but I can tell you this, I will never watch it again,” the Education Secretary said. “I have better things to do with a half hour of my time.”

Calling her interviewer, Lesley Stahl, a practitioner of “gotcha journalism at its worst,” DeVos said that it was “very unfair of her to ask me so many questions about education.”

“She asked me one thing about schools, and then another, and another,” she said. “If I had to answer every question she had about schools, I would have had to bone up on education for a month.”

DeVos said that she was “frustrated” that Stahl neglected to ask her about any of her “really good ideas” for the nation’s schools, such as “purchasing guns for teachers with money that is currently being wasted on books.”

“If a bear comes into your classroom, throwing a book at him will only stun him momentarily, at best,” DeVos said.

Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job! Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all!

Yeh, and he didn't inform Tillerson in advance. Class act, that Donnie Dotard.

What would you expect from a president who has the maturity level of a sixth grader.....

[Chicks]

Should be fun to read Tillerson’s book when it comes out. Especially the “moron” quotes. Wonder if he’ll go on the late night comedy shows and tweak the moron?

T.V. PUNDIT WHO BLEW THE FINANCIAL CRISIS COULD BE TRUMP’S NEXT GARY COHN

The Dotard is expressing support for Kudlow. Sounds like the sort of guy only Donny and Whell could love...

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018...next-gary-cohn

For those who need a refresher, Kudlow’s résumé includes:

Time serving in the Reagan administration, where he espoused the sort of supply-side economic policies that conservatives have sexual fantasies about;

Seven years as Bear Stearns’s chief economist, during which he was addicted to drugs and alcohol, and was subsequently forced to resign on categorically unfriendly terms after failing to show up for a huge event at which he was the featured speaker (Kudlow maintains he was “sick,” and that “a communications gap” was to blame for him not calling someone to say he wouldn’t be coming);

A job as the talking-head host of The Larry Kudlow Show on CNBC;

A record of no good, very bad predictions that would generally preclude a person from being in the running for a job as the president’s top economic adviser, but in Trump world make him a front-runner. Some of Kudlow’s greatest hits include the time, on December 7, 2007, he said: “There’s no recession coming. The pessimistas were wrong. It’s not going to happen. . . . The Bush boom is alive and well. It’s finishing up it sixth consecutive year with more to come.” Or on January 16, 2008, when he declared: “[B]anks are taking significant steps to repair their balance sheets. Even though some people might not be happy with the speed, the reality is things are improving.” Or when he predicted, on February 5, 2008: “I’m going to bet that the economy will be rebounding sometime this summer, if not sooner. We are in a slow patch. That’s all. It’s nothing to get up in arms about.” Then, of course, there was his poetic attempt to save face, when he wrote a blog post for CNBC called “The Therapeutic Power of Recessions.”
