Buchanan: The Kos crowd deserves a Cabinet pick

Why does a conservative seem to respect the Democratic left more than many Democrats? Plus: Pick Hillary, or don't, but get it over with!

    @Klytus

    What's up, man? Long time, no "talk". What about the announcement of Daschle as head of HHS?

    As was pointed out on Daily Kos, note that with Holder and Daschle, position was extended and accepted. No drama. No post about whether or not we should question Barack's motives, or if there was an intent to "publicly vet" anyone. I'm actually not against Hillary being SOS (unlike you), but we're seeing the negatives that come with her: drama, drama, drama. And whenever she resurfaces, as we're seeing today, here come the haters from out of their holes.
