38. His stealing Janet Napolitano from Arizona was worse

Sun Feb 14, 2016, 03:35 PM

Feb 2016

The first person in Kansas' chain of gubernatorial succession was another Democrat. I don't know him; he might have been a good person, but he was rubbed out in the Nationwide Teabagger Massacre of 2010.

The first person in Arizona's chain of gubernatorial succession was Jan Brewer.

When Hillary gets elected and starts building her team, she needs to remember the most important lesson President Obama taught us: a person's replacement in the job you're taking him or her from is as important a selection factor as the person's ability to do the job.
