best political news of the month

It's sad it took a scandal for this to happen:

Tom Daschle Withdraws as Obama's Health Secretary

Now, hopefully, we'll have someone that's not a slimeball lobbyist whose activities border on the criminal involved in the shaping of our health care system going forward.

Wasn't there some promise about not appointing slimeball lobbyists to positions that are conflicts of interest? Oh wait, that was before the election, nevermind! :)

I'm rather sick of posting crap about politics, but it's deeply saddening to see 'change' mean "do the same things as my predecessor but I'm a good guy, so it's different". You see, you can't change the system unless you appoint people that have been using it at taxpayer expense for their own personal gain!
