weird, isn't it? Shortly before a HUGE scandal implodes, organizations appoint women

to deal with the crisis. No harm, no foul Bitchezz go down. No harm, no foul to the guys. They'll get theirs, after the initial screaming has subsided.

I apologize in advance for this objectionable question.

1. Don't apologize. Women and minorities usually get the clean up job then get criticized for not

fixing everything overnight.

2. Case in point

Our president.

6. Yeah lets hope

he doesn't appoint any more women.

Poor guy can't do anything to please some people.

Obama: "The sky is blue"
Response: "It's fucking cloudy you prick, thanks a lot".

3. It's called the glass cliff

The phenomenon has been noted.

4. Yeah, we've noticed

which is why we look askance at sudden promotions that skip over several steps in a hierarchy.

[Nay]

5. Not weird at all. I mentioned that fact to mr nay this morning. But they

don't appoint them to clean up -- they appoint them to take the blame when the oncoming failure occurs. You've noticed that she hadn't had protection duties for 20 years, had been in admin for that 20, and was certainly going to be resented for having such rusty skills. And yes, she seems clueless (Disney World? Really?) about the principles of physical security. I'm sure she was recommended to Obama with the knowledge that she was not going to be the best of the best, and that she'd go down in flames in short order. I'd like to know who recommended her. THAT person is a dangerous person.

pisses me off--and you are right about a dangerous unknown in the White House
