Incoming White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten is said to be leaning toward selecting an outsider with strong fiscal conservative credentials to take his spot as director of the Office of Management and Budget, according to some insiders.

"It would be a savvy move," said one official. Previous reports from the West Wing were that Bolten would pick an insider for the post, possibly Deputy OMB Director Joel Kaplan; Al Hubbard, director of the National Economic Council; or trade czar Rob Portman. But new indications are that Bolten might use the opening to send Congress a signal that he means business when he says the president wants to cut costs.

"This job gives him the ability to curry favor with Congress," said one insider. Sources said that he is considering former and current House members for the post. One associate even suggested that retiring Rep. Tom DeLay was being considered, though the most likely pick would be from a conservative budget association.

1. Its a Scarey Thought as your Picture suggests....Damnnnn

[pinto]

2. And I hear Michael Brown is vying for a N'Orleans consulting job...

[CottonBear]

8. Why the hell would anyone in the NOLA area hire Brownie? n/t

15. Brownie was doing "One Hell of a Job"

Until Rove and Oddjob turned on him.

17. Who is Oddjob?

[saigon68]

18. Odd Job

Odd Job
(Harold Sakata)

Character: Odd Job
Actor: Harold Sakata
Movie: Goldfinger
Age: Mid 30's
Appearence: Short muscly build, black crew-cut hair, Korean appearance, dark eyes, wears a black suit, vest a bowlers hat.
Status: Terminated

Although not the best golf caddy in the world, Goldfinger's mute Korean manservant, Odd Job, makes up for it in many other ways. Remembered chiefly for his steel rimmed bowler hat, Sakata makes Odd Job an almost invulnerable opponent for 007. However, Bond's quick thinking finally leads to his shocking end.

Most memorable quote:
"Ah, ha!"

Personality

Odd Job was Goldfinger personal chauffeur, servant and assassin, the multi-talented strongman was one of James Bond's toughest opponents. His bowler's hat had a reinforced sharp steel brim, he would use the hat as a weapon, throwing it at a victim, capable of decapitating them. Odd Job was mute and had never been seen speaking, however he could still understand Goldfinger's commands.

5. Bolten is the Republican idiot who trashed America's budget

under Bush.

Whoever this turkey picks is going to be just as big a Republicon loser.

Amerca cannot afford these dimwits and corrupt republicon cronies

[FrankLee]

6. The current crop of Repigs may be greedy and stupid, but

there's no way they would put DeLay in a position like that. They may be blinded by partisanship, but they're not totally blinded to reality.

[Pirate Smile]

7. Well, I guess Tom Delay and Josh Bolton are the same kind of "fiscal

conservatives".

Doesn't everyday seem like "opposite" day now?

[lovuian]

9. Just let him pick Delay the FELON!!!

that kinda says it all...
