Ray LaHood for Secretary of Transportation? Really? Is there no one better, even among Republicans?
Sure, he voted for Amtrak funding in 2006 and earlier this year, but the rest of his record suggests a mainline Republican who, despite presiding over the impeachment of President Clinton, is one of the less offensive Republicans out there.
Perhaps my fellow Prairie Staters can take a break from checking The Capitol Fax Blog for today's updates on L'Affaire Blago to chime in on anything LaHood has accomplished in his Congressional tenure, because I can't think of a thing. Come on, Transition Team, Ray LaHood has no business in a cabinet and administration whose mandate is change.
