Matter of Opinion

Mon., Dec. 1, 2008

Your national security team

Obama announced the team today.

Starting at center, Hillary Clinton at State.

At power forward, Janet Napolitano, Homeland Defense.

At shooting guard (but, hopefully, not shooting), Robert Gates, returning to his position at Defense.

Napolitano is the governor of Arizona. When I first heard of her, it was as an attorney for Anita Hill in the Clarence Thomas nomination imbroglio.

Clinton and Napolitano represent the kind of women Rush Limbaugh used to refer to as femi-Nazis. Just another sign of progress.

Thoughts on this team?

A Matter of Opinion is really a matter of three opinions – those held by the people responsible for the opinion pages of The Spokesman-Review. Check in regularly to find out what they’re up to, what they think and where they differ and to joust with them if you want.
