This video had been sitting on the shelf since 2015, unedited and unpublished… But with Eric Lander in the news this week (he is nominated to become Joe Biden’s cabinet level science advisor) I thought it was worth dusting off and sharing with you all.

I vaguely recall people like this from what seems like ages ago … appointees who actually knew what their departments and positions did, appointees whose main goal wasn’t to destroy and corrupt their departments. There was a word for these kinds of appointees … oh yes, I have it: experts.

Dickheads like this so deeply enmeshed in the party establishment are difficult to get rid of. Sending Emanuel to Japan as ambassador isn’t the worst way of getting him and his big mouth out of the way of domestic politics for a few years.
