And we all know what “best people” means.
His spokesperson is disqualified from commenting precisely by virtue of being the kind of person who could keep a job with him for many years.
Some of the white males are older than him, some younger. Some use Old Spice, some prefer Aqua Velva. There’s even one guy who wears brown shoes. Plenty of diversity and they’re all the best, trust me.
Swift is a douchenozzle just like the rest of them…and oh yeah, she’s white, so of course she’s not experienced the backhand of Zinke’s racism.
Doesn’t that photo say, “just slap me”?
Zinke the Zilch has such a punchable face.
The best people for the job will needless to say turn out to be white males who run in the same political circles as Zinke himself.
Zinke recently made statements disregarding a need for staff diversity, saying he would just pick the best people for the jobs.
Ok, but it is clear that in Zinke’s mind, “best people” means white and male, above all other other qualifications.
Zinke sure doesn’t photograph well…aside from his other faults.
This man, like Scott Pruitt is an unrepentant pig who has no business sitting in the office he now holds. He’s simply another criminal fox put in charge of the henhouse, and bent on destroying his own agency. He’s also making money on the deal. Throw 'em all out!

As a man who has observed the orchestrated dismantling of the US Department of the Interior to lease ans sell this nation’s natural resources to the highest bidder, i can say without a doubt that this claim has merit and deserves to be investigated, and i am hopeful that the denials being spewed by certain spokespeople from within the Department are the result of simply being stupid, and are not a deliberate plot to cover the truth.
That is a gross distortion. He does not disregard diversity. He’s against it.
The best people for the job…
As I understand it, a couple of executives from Whitefish Energy had suddenly become available. Hiring such rare talent, executives with a demonstrated ability of getting the most return from the money, required the shake up at Interior.
And, their company worked in Puerto Rico. Doubtless, that should count for something when look at this diversity thingie.
His new Cone of Silence must not be working very well?
The master comedian Mark Russell was explaining during the Presidential convention of '88 that the Republicans had their own version of Jesse Jacksons Rainbow coalition:
White, Off white, Ivory, French vanilla
The day when Secretary Zinke can once again be safely ignored cannot come too quickly.
Ryan Zinke as Fox commentator in 2021 during a Dem administration: “There is a shortage of white males over the age of 50 in our government. We need a diverse work force. Diversity now!”
I’d break his glasses first, then punch him.
And it’s Flomax all the way down.
