White House paying $100,000 salary to “Director of Lessons Learned”
by John in DC – 7/12/2006 11:25:00 AM
Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) offers a few more lessons learned:
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the President said we continue to be wise about how we spend the people’s money.
“Then why are we paying over $100,000 for a ‘White House Director of Lessons Learned’?
“Maybe I can save the taxpayers $100,000 by running through a few of the lessons this White House should have learned by now.
“Lesson 1: When the Army Chief of Staff and the Secretary of State say you are going to war without enough troops, you’re going to war without enough troops.
“Lesson 2: When 8.8 billion dollars of reconstruction funding disappears from Iraq, and 2 billion dollars disappears from Katrina relief, it’s time to demand a little accountability.
“Lesson 3: When you’ve ‘turned the corner’ in Iraq more times than Danica Patrick at the Indy 500, it means you are going in circles.
“Lesson 4: When the national weather service tells you a category 5 hurricane is heading for New Orleans, a category 5 hurricane is heading to New Orleans.
“I would also ask the President why we’re paying for two ‘Ethics Advisors’ and a ‘Director of Fact Checking.’
“They must be the only people in Washington who get more vacation time than the President.
“Maybe the White House could consolidate these positions into a Director of Irony.”
