Our New Commerce Sec., Mr. China

merica, meet your new Commerce Sec., former Washington gov Gary Locke.  On the surface, he looks great for the job, having done that whole Pacific Rim trading thing while governor, but under the surface there’s illegal contributions from poor Buddhist monks, oily bundling, suspicious contracts and hefty lobbying fees from Chinese firms.

Says Michelle Malkin, who’s got over 10 years invested incovering this guy:

Washington has been warned — not just by me, but by many other close observers of the former Washington state governor who have followed his career marked by sloppy adherence to campaign finance laws and corporate cronyism.

She goes on to rightly chide Republicans, quoting this piece from The Olympian:

None of the Republicans on the committee indicated he or she would vote against Locke.

Rockefeller said he and Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, the panel’s top Republican, had reviewed Locke’s background check done by the FBI and his financial statements.

“They were clean,” Rockefeller said.

“Boring would be a better word,” Hutchison said.

What part of “Did you do your homework?” would you like to yell into the faces of those two?  When the nearly inevitable scandal takes down Locke remember these two saying he was “clean” and “boring.”

« Obama And Responsibility | Ask The President »

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
