Obama goes Caligula one better

Caligula is said to have promised to make his horse a consul; Obama has promised to make a jackass Secretary of Defense.

Aw, now I'm all confused. I thought the jackass was the new Secretary of State and that Hagel was the dumbass.

/Hard to tell the asses without a scorecard.

When Huey Long was elected to the Senate from Louisiana, one of his political enemies there groused: At least Caligula sent both halves of his horse to the Senate.

No, Lurch is the new SoS, the DoD nominee is the Jackass.

I think Obama nominated an incompetent Peter Principle archtype, fully expecting he'd be rejected, so that he could then nominate a more like-minded Alinskyite to carry out his "mission" - who would otherwise also be rejected - but will now look reasonable by comparison.

Or am I giving Skeeter too much credit?

Obama is dumb like a fox to choose senators and former senators to be his fools / tools. The Senate will always OK one of their own no matter how stupid the person or bad for the country. Club rules.

Pray for our country. Everyday.
