Analogies for Obama
So I was reading this Spectator piece from Jeri Thompson, which mentions the fact that Obama’s Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Manufacturing, Nicole Lamb-Hale, was a bankruptcy lawyer.
This line caught my eye:
What kind of message does a President send when he puts a bankruptcy lawyer in charge of the manufacturing sector? It’s comparable to appointing a tax cheat to run the Treasury… oh… wait… never mind.
and it got me thinking about what else putting a bankruptcy lawyer in charge of manufacturing is like:
 |
* Putting a thunderstorm in charge of your campfire.
* Having a divorce lawyer officiate your wedding ceremony.
* Hiring a demolition crew to build your house.
* Picking Lindsay Lohan as your AA sponsor.
* Putting the Orkin man in charge of your apiary.
* Putting Jack Kevorkian in charge of the retirement home industry.
* Putting a lawn mower in charge of your flower garden.
* Hiring Tiger Woods to teach kids about abstinence.
* Having George Lucas direct your epic space opera prequels.
* Letting a porcupine guard your condoms.
* Putting Harry Reid in charge of your Negro Black History Month celebration.
What would YOU compare Obama’s masterpiece of tone-deaf appointeeism to?

Luckily for liberals, moral bankruptcy doesn’t require a lawyer.
When do we reach the tipping point between “wow, this guy is incompetent” to “wow, this guy is doing this on purpose“?

Using is instead of in to win a stupid contest with myself.
