The political wisdom of nominating Herman Cain for a Fed position boggles the mind. There are so many willing Trump toadies that would be far less inflammatory and more qualified. Trump has no political instincts.

I have no words for this. It’s like the bad circus coming to town but never opening, leaving after a week.

I guess this means Cain will have to settle for SecDef.

“Inevitable Conclusion”?

What part of grossly unqualified serial sexual harasser made you think it was inevitable that he wouldn’t be confirmed?

“More qualified” doesn’t really say much, since almost anyone would be more qualified than Herman. The relevant question is whether any of them are actually qualified. My guess is that none would be. Just consider that Stephen Moore was first choice.

Cain had no chance in the Senate. Trump just doesn’t understand that political allies are not going to be confirmed to the Fed unless they are actually qualified. Hint: qualified people aren’t easy to find in the best of circumstances but finding two among Trump’s list of friends is going to make the chore almost impossible. .

Moore is going down too. Talk about somebody who isn’t qualified.

Which only reinforces just how politically stupid the decision nominate Cain was.

As Josh has alluded to several times, autocrats are usually forced to hire incompetent but loyal people because its hard to find qualified competent people willing to do your bidding.

Damn it! I was going to say that! And stealing jokes on this site is strictly verboten, so now I have to think up a new one!

Why would it be hard for Trump? After all, “nobody disobeys” him.

Trump also said “nobody disobeys my orders,” in response to a reporter asking as much. Special counsel Robert Mueller’s redacted final report said White House officials repeatedly did not follow Trump’s orders.

Stephen Moore is your friendly neighbor who does your taxes for free and then has FBI agents busting his door down to arrest him for embezzlement on April 14th at 11:59 PM.

I actually tried Godfather’s Pizza once.

After tasting it, I beat it to death with a baseball bat, and dumped the remains in Sheepshead Bay.

(But I’ll deny that under oath.)

That’s the money quote. I believe this would be called the “chaff” for the Mueller Report week.

An invitation to dine at Godfather’s Pizza was an offer you COULD refuse.
