Good news is she gets to be cast in the next season of Celebrity Big Brother.
I suspect what we're learning is that the swamp is not only inhabited by slimy creatures (no offense to my fine friends the catfish and bullfrogs) but that it's also toxic. Some people will just not want to be a part of it and that's fine with me. The average liberal will whine about all the "talent" being lost at those agencies. Fark 'em if the talent is also corrupt.

The problem that I am hearing is that people are not coming forward to fill these spots. The different departments are way understaffed as is. Not good for this country overall when people will not work under him.
How does one determine that the different departments are way understaffed? Who makes that determination? Is is not possible, and I know this will come as a shcok to some, but is it not possible that there's some fat in some of those departments?
I read an article the other night about IG Horowitz's department and at first understood that his duties involved watching over 500 government employees. Okay. But when I went back and re-read the article, I learned that his department alone consisted of 500 employees!!!!! 500 friggin employees. Think about the size of that government payroll.
I am talking about key important spots like the Justice Department, the State Department and also we do not have ambassadors for many countries right now.
Key positions like those that have been recently vacated due to the office holders being involved in political activities, some possibly illegal? Oh the huge manatee. I think the republic will survive until others are found to replace them.
Here are the countries without ambassadors right now:
ASEAN, Australia, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Bolivia, Congo (DR), Ivory Coast, Cuba, Egypt, European Union, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Jamaica, Jordan, Mongolia, Qatar, Saudia Arabia, Singapore, Somalia, South Africa, South Korea, Sudan, Sweden, Syria, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Trinidad & Tobago, Turkey, Venezuela
A number of those listed are countries with whom we do not exchange ambassadors. I think you can figure them out.
