If There Are Rats to Be F*cked on the Way Out the Door, These Are Just the Men to Do It

The president* rewards two henchmen with board seats.

Well, boy howdy, things are certainly going to be a party at the Pentagon for the next couple of months. From the Washington Post:

The Trump administration installed loyalists on a Pentagon advisory panel on Friday, naming former campaign figures Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie among the new appointees to the Defense Business Board. The appointments were announced along with the removal of other members, at least some of whom were dismissed. Acting defense secretary Christopher Miller, appointed to his job last month following the firing of Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper, said in a statement that he was “proud” to welcome each of the new members... “These individuals have a proven record of achievement within their respective fields and have demonstrated leadership that will serve our Department, and our nation well,” Miller said in a statement.

Bossie's field was ratfcking, plain and simple. He once broke in on a desperately ill woman in a hospital room to harangue her about whether her daughter had committed suicide because of an unhappy affair with Bill Clinton. His ratfcking reached its apotheosis when he got poor, dim Anthony Kennedy to help him decriminalize influence-peddling in the Citizens United decision. Lewandowski's "field" is being the political equivalent of a hockey goon. So, yeah, I guess the two of them do excel in their "respective fields." And Sweeney Todd was a helluva stylist.

And Politico informs us that this 11th hour fck-you to good government was handled with the humanity characteristic of the way things are run in Camp Runamuck.

The firings came as a shock to the board members, who had not received any negative feedback or warning prior to their termination. One former board member lamented the move, noting that the board “has never been political, ever.” “You are talking about 15, 20 executives, business leaders, government leaders, who are giving their time to serve the nation and not even a thank you note,” said the person, who asked not to be named. “It’s just about simple gratitude and appreciation for people.”

Dude must be from out of town.

Luckily, these appointments are to unpaid positions and they are unlikely to survive the change in administrations. But if there are rats to be fcked on the way out the door, these are just the men to do it. Politically, they are human source-point pollution.
