This will be awesome.

"How will you deal with the incredibly long waiting lists in the VA system, Mrs. Palin?"

"Well, these so called delays, they strengthen my faith, because I'm going to know, at the end of the day, putting this in God's hands, that the right thing for veterans will be done at the end of the day. So I'm not discouraged at all."

"But can you give veterans any . . . "

"You mentioned veterans, and I'm glad that you did. I know veterans, they are passionate about, with them serving their country, and God bless them. Their reward is in heaven, right?"

Sarah Palin for Veterans Affairs? A Wrestling Impresario for Small Business?

President-elect Donald J. Trump wants to keep New York’s crusading United States attorney on board, and is reportedly eyeing the professional wrestling impresario Linda McMahon for the Small Business Administration. And a new name has popped up to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs: Sarah Palin.

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ massive network of hospitals and clinics has been under a microscope since scandalously long waiting lists and allegations of cover-ups burst into public. The management morass seemed so intractable that in 2014, President Obama pushed out a decorated former general, Eric Shinseki, and hired a former chief executive of Procter & Gamble, Robert A. McDonald, to sort it out.

Now, according to people close to the transition, Mr. Trump is thinking of taking Veterans Affairs in a new direction, handing its reins to former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska.

Given Mr. Trump’s passionate campaign pledges to the nation’s veterans, the response — if she is chosen — would be ... interesting.

Spotted at Trump Tower on Wednesday afternoon: Linda McMahon, the former chief executive of World Wrestling Entertainment, an outfit the president-elect has some experience with.

“The meeting went great,” she told reporters. “It was really nice to be up, and I was honored to be asked to come in. Anytime I think the president-elect of the United States asks you to come in for a conversation, you’re happy to do that. We talked about business and entrepreneurs and creating jobs, and we talked about S.B.A.”

Her connections to Mr. Trump go beyond their mutual love of bloated men in spandex suits. Her net worth, estimated at around $855 million, would put her in the same income brackets as the candidates tapped to be the secretaries of Commerce, Treasury and Education, as well as the deputy Commerce secretary.

Have you noticed that pretty much all appointments which can extract money for millionaires are going to millionaires and pretty much all appoints which are strictly for the benefit of "the people" are going to either completely incompetent people or . . . millionaires which have previously screwed over "the people"?

In other words . . . people like him? I'm not sure why this should come as a surprise to anyone.

Trump will certainly bring jobs back to America. There will be a much larger market for late night comedians, makers of ill-fitting suits, and bankruptcy lawyers.

So who will replace Palin when she resigns, (as she always does from public office)?

I'm not 100% certain, but I think if you did a poll you'd find most comedians would be perfectly happy with anyone else in the Oval.

I agree. Anyone who really listened to Trump during the campaign should not be surprised by this type of horsepuckey.

Stay tuned, film at 11.
