Why Not Gingrich for HHS?

By Craig Crawford | February 4, 2009 1:09 PM | Permalink | Comments (300)

Quick, name three past secretaries of HHS. Okay, two? One? Don't even know what HHS stands for? Don't worry, most Americans probably would fail this little quiz. If you passed, take your honors as a super geek.

In normal times, the head of the Department of Health and Human Services is not exactly a rock star, not even in Washington circles. But things are different with an administration aiming to bring about the biggest change in national health care since Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare into law at Harry Truman's presidential library in Independence, Missouri.

Tom Daschle's withdrawal leaves a fascinating and crucial vacuum to fill in Barack Obama's emerging Cabinet.

Two out-of-the-ballpark names to speculate about are (out of left field) Howard Dean, and (from way out there in right field) Newt Gingrich.

3. He seemed rather crazy during part of the primaries too so I'm not particularly surprised.

4. Is this a joke?
Newt hates government. He hates it so much he probably wants the HHS position axed.

5. He's a bitter old bastard who is still nursing his wounds from the Primaries.
Crawford was nasty toward all things Obama during the Primaries. Now, any chance he can get to slam this Administration, dumb-ass corporate media pundit, one each, Craig Crawford, fires his BLANKS with both guns ablazing. :eyes:

7. I think Craig is being sarcastic
His sense of humor is sarcasm and I see that in this article of his.

8. What sense of humor? He laughs while he's being interviewed at the most inane ideas.
IMNSHO, Crawford needs to find a day job because he's pathetic. :shrug:

9. That is probably more of his dry humor. He would be the last person
we would want in that position.
