Kathleen Sibelius is going to weather the nomination process and be named HHS Secretary. She is a Catholic girl. A graduate of perhaps the premier Catholic women's college in the country. She is quiet, clean living, well behaved and has devoted her life to public service. She has a degree of intelligence and sensitivity for the concerns of others unknown in any of the George W. Bush cabinet, of either term. She is well prepared by experience and disposition for the job, another obvious difference from most of the Bush cabinet.
The wing nuts don't like her because she believes women should be allowed to make their own choice about abortion, when faced with the prospect although in this, she seems no different to me, than Sarah Palin. The elderly, largely closeted gay, reactionary Catholic hierarchy hates her because she exemplifies the liberal, affluent, Catholic elite and a growing segment of the middle and working class, over which they no longer have any influence or control. Fuck'em. I think she'll do a great job.
I hope Barry puts her on the Supreme Court before he leaves, if Oprah isn't available.
