The Analyst Formerly Known as Mitchell Simpson
In a completely unsurprising move, President Obama has appointed Mr…er….Mrs….uhm……Ms…..a person named “Amanda Simpson” to a post as Senior Technical Advisor at the Commerce Department. “Amanda” used to be “Mitchell,” a transformation which seems entirely too unsurprising when delivered within the context of the Obama Administration.
Now I’m sure “The Analyst Formerly Known as Mitchell Simpson” is adequately qualified for the job (albeit a retarded ferret is likely qualified for a job in Commerce with this administration), and I have no problem with homosexuals, cross-dressers, transvestites, nymphomaniacs, man-whores, bisexuals, lesbians, butt-pirates, porn stars, exotic dancers, or sex addicts. However, I can’t help but question the motives in this appointment. Was Amanda/Mitchell/ξ chosen because of his…er……her…..crap…..its….a pre-existing set of qualifications and expertise, unique from any other, or for shock value? Sort of a “look what I can do” thing in the same vein as Stuart Larkin of MadTV fame? Did the Commerce Department need “new, alien blood” or something?
This is definitely “change,” but I’m not sure I can believe in it.
Sometimes you just have to sit there with a blank stare on your face and think:
WTF?
