Here's how insidery the new Bush cabinet is looking. The new education secretary, Margaret Spellings, began her political career in the mid 1980s, when Karl Rove asked her out on a date. Somehow, he got over the rejection. Two decades of complete political subservience later and Ms Spellings gets a bang-up new job enforcing her boss's federal take-over of American education. She helped run Bush's 1994 campaign for Texas governor and has been working long hours under the radar in the Bush White House for the past four years. Is she a radical? Not exactly. She hasn't pushed for the conservative panacea of school vouchers, and distanced herself as a divorced single mother from the religious right. Is she a toady? Well, that's an unfortunately loaded term. Let's just recall that, outside of the George W. Bush orbit, Spellings has virtually no record and no career. She is his creation. "
I love a good true conservative.
