Did anyone catch Roy on Rachael Maddow's show last night? He is a Repuke Obama appointed as Sec. of Transportation. Rachael asked him why Judd backed out of his appointment to Sec. of Treasury. He said he couldn't understand it as Judd had been going around actively campaigning for the job. Rachel asked him if he thought the Repukes "got" to him. LaHood said, "I have no reason to think that happened but I have no reason to think it didn't happen." Quote may not be exact but that's the gist of what he said. I DO think the Repukes got to Judd and jerked him up short.

1. Isn't it Ray? Yes, he's in the admin and that means he works for Obama. |

2. Yes, I saw him. I never paid much attention to him before Obama |
|
picked him, but he sounded like a decent guy. It was hard, at least during that apprarance, to see him as a Pug!

3. LaHood called Gregg's behavior "odd". |
|
Odd as in unbalanced? First he waves his arms around yelling, "Pick me, pick me." Then he says, "Never mind." ????

4. He's from the IL state legislature which isn't as crazy as the US senate in it's |
|
bipartisanship. He has known Obama since he was a state legislator. The repubs in IL are much more moderate. He doesn't have much to lose by dissing his insane party when they are evil.

5. He appeared very non-partisan. I gained respect for him. |
