Donna Shalala Goes To Washington
Since I travel, I don't get to see the news the day it is run. Most of this then ends up becoming "olds" for me. So imagine my surprise when I spent an hour at the airport catching up on my news from the previous week only to come across this lovely piece from Tuesday.
Apparently, Donna Shalala will be co-chairing President Bush's Commission on Care for America's Returning Wounded Warriors.
Yes, that is right. It is the same Donna Shalala who couldn't enforce a policy retroactive to punish her Miami players for participation in last year's terrible brawl.
Shalala does have a great background for this having served in President Clinton's cabinet while he was in office, but given her recent history, I think Bush probably should have thought better about this (and this is no matter what political affiliation you have).
This is the woman who didn't see fit to throw a player off the team for stomping on an opponent who was lying defenseless on the ground. This is the woman who let a player who swung a helmet with the intent to harm another come back to the team. And now, Shalala will be spending time on this instead of watching over her University which seems to have a number of problems of its own.
I guess the good news is that she can bring her own goon squad should any of the military officials choose to mess with her.
