It’s really not all that important, but I guess it deserves some notice, but Janet Napolitano is moving on from the Department of Homeland Security to be the president of the University of California system, says the LA Times;
“I think she loves working for President Obama and serving the American people, but at the same time, this is a unique opportunity,” he said. Napolitano knows “UC is probably the premier institution in the country. She is motivated by the fact that being a part of UC, she will be a part of educating future leaders of tomorrow and be part of a state that sets so much of the agenda nationally.”
Yeah, well, she peaked when DHS released their scary veterans memo in my opinion. So what worries me is who will replace her. Knowing this administration it will be Daryl Johnson, the guy who wrote that report (or more accurately, copied and pasted it from the Southern Poverty Law Center report) and has been trying to sell it to us ever since he got his little pencil-necked ass fired.
Looking at recent cabinet picks (John Kerry, Chuck Hagel, Leon Panetta, etc…), I’m not real hopeful.
Ba Bye!
Something tells me it’s going to be an in your face pick…
Looks like both coasts are getting on board with some nice political hackery as that’s what always happens here in Massachusetts do a really shitty job in government and get appointed to the UMASS system… see the “Brothers Bulger” for a reference….
No great loss, until we see who might be taking her place…
Doorknob….hit you…..in the ass…on the way out……
Is it too early to start singing, “Ding dong the witch is gone”?
We’ll help you pack!
Good riddance.
Let’s just hope this doesn’t turn out to be a case of, “Better the Devil ye know . . . .”
“Meet the new boss…Same as the old boss…”
Another one of those “diversity” appointment’s that bit Barry in his ass.
Well now she and another shitcanned Obamite Hillary can take that vacation to the French Riviera. If they are lucky they may run into our buddy Paul K Wickre, They can get snockered on overpriced wine and have gerbil races in Psul’s ass.
Who cares? The next head of DHS will just be another Political Hack. When selecting his appointees Obama only needs to know how much money the candidate raised for the last election, or how well he carried the presidents water. You can be sure that the new “leader” will have no tangible qualifications for the job. My guess is the Hispanic senator from New Jersey. You know, the one that likes underage whores from the Dominican Republic. The perfect pick, ethnic with criminal tendencies.
Ding Dongs, Ho-Hos, and Twinkies will be back on the shelves at Walmart ahead of every other retailer.
Therefore, singing ‘ding, dong, the witch is dead,’ is appropriate. I just hope they do something about Sno-balls.
Does she get to take all that ammunition with her to Kalifornia? Oh, wait….
This has been the talk of the office. 🙂 Consensus is it will be a “diversity” appointment of some kind. The survey “best places to work in the federal government” shows you where we’re at.
The un-named “source close to Napolitano” who said, “She is motivated by the fact that being a part of UC, she will be a part of educating future leaders of tomorrow…” must have been Zippy the Pinhead.
Did moving from a $200,000 per year job at DHS, after a failed tenure, to a $600,000 per year job at low-pressure UC have anything to do with it?
Zippy says: Nah…
I nominate Sheriff Joe Arpaio to replace her. We should start one of those petitions. 🙂
@15 Pat, how about David Bellavia? That’d make the administration cringe in a corner, wouldn’t it?
If I was President Obama, I would go with a safe pick:
A transgendered Asian of Mexican descent, who enjoys playing the tin whistle, believes 9/11 was staged, loves French foods, is heavily invested in Euro dollars and clean energy, enjoys scoreless little league games and dodge ball below the knees, mostly blind, has been abducted by aliens, was a CO while in the military, has a degree in Comminications and African Studies, is a recipient of a babboon organ or two, and is neither a Republican or Independent.
Like I said … safe pick!
Bill Ayers??
Say what you want…she was a good soldierette for the party’s agenda.
Kelly, from New York……
Now the “rest of the story.” Girls just wanna have fun and now that the Supremes reversed the voter’s decision (twice actually) in California, Janet just wants to get married. Give the, uhhhhh women? a break. I know, I know, I’ll sign up for more counseling.
I have a hunch that B. Hussein 0bama & Co. are looking for someone just as incompetent or worse than she is, in that ring of fools, being a party hack is a prerequisite!
Hmmmm. . . . .Is she leaving to “dodge the bullet” when the next scandal hits? Can she be subpoenaed to come back & testify against Obaomao if she’s not in office?
Really, I can’t see any improvements in the DHS and the Tits/Testicles Squeezers Assn.
But I CAN see an additional reason (amongst a whole laundry list) to NOT go to Kalifornication.
“UC is probably the premier institution in the country. She is motivated by the fact that being a part of UC, she will be a part of educating future leaders of tomorrow and be part of a state that sets so much of the agenda nationally.”
The answer to why our Republic keeps getting worse and worse.
It’s a pity Iron Felks and Beria are dead… wonder if there’s any old Stasi comissars kicking around the Admin can tap?
As long as she stays away from my Arizona state I’m fine…
I’m an “Old Blue” from Cal, and I have no idea who the current UC president is. Hopefully, Big Sis will also fade into obscurity.
Her replacement at DHS? Michelle? Ugh.
@17. Might I suggest that the degrees be in Communications and Womyns’s Studies? Or, perhaps just the totally useless “Liberal Arts” degree.
@16, PintoNag. Yes, David Bellavia would be a great pick, but alas, I think Bill Ayers is closer to reality.
When does this end?
Great, because my home state’s “higher education” system didn’t already have enough left-wing fascist assdouches in high places…
I’d like to change my pick. Antonio Villaregosa (SP?) The ex mayor of LA. Hispanic,liberal, wimp, Democratic water boy, no law enforcement experience, perfect! Term limited out of office so he is looking for work. As a matter of fact there was talk that he was angling for the U. Cal job.
@20 Retired Master has it right. The word is that it will be Ray Kelly of N.Y.P.D. if he wants the job.
My take – something really, really bad is about to be revealed….
Rats leaving a sinking ship???
@26 amen bro, keep that bitch out of AZ
Watch, Bill Ayers or King “I hate white people, all of them” Shabazz (of New Black Panthers Election Day ’08 with a billyclub at a polling place fame) will be her replacement… or someone like them, at least.
Going to be the President of the UC system? Just another example of someone “failing up”.
Look for the US News and World Report rankings of the University of California schools to plummet over the next couple of years.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
