Another bull dagger. Fits right in with the rest of his picks.
Feminist groups are still unhappy with Lawrence Summers, a top candidate for chairman of the Federal Reserve, over a comment from 2005 that they dubbed sexist.
He was the president of Harvard at the time, addressing an economics conference when he made the controversial comment:
“It does appear that on many, many different human attributes — height, weight, propensity for criminality, overall IQ, mathematical ability, scientific ability — there is relatively clear evidence that whatever the difference in means — which can be debated — there is a difference in the standard deviation, and variability of a male and a female population,” Summers said.

It was a head fake, at best.
It’s a ruse to get that Commie woman in there just like all the other commiserate women setting up the inability for pubbies to criticize women prior to Clinton...that’s my take and there is no such thing as convoluted or paranoid anymore.
Yuk, Yuk...

I need glasses. I meant to say Corzine, the obvious choice.
This. Bump.
Whose job? 0's? I believe he already is.
All those motorcyclists that went to DC should have decorated their bikes with hangman’s nooses.
Summers was never the choice. It’ll be turbo tax timmeh.
GOP Senator Pat Roberts goes full retard:

Strange. I guess Summers - who was an academic lefty, but apparently not lefty enough - had to clear the field for a true PC candidate. I didn’t know a thing about Yellen until now. But when I read up on her, I knew she was the perfect Obamaite.
Obviously, no matter how leftist Summers was, he must have had a grain of common sense, which was what brought the leftist feminist institution down on him.
This woman appears to be all womyn all the time, all leftist all the time, and totally ready to fall down and suck Obama’s toes. What could be better?
Crap!
He was the least worst candidate.
The other 2 are commies.
It’ll be whatsherbucket....yeah!
Up next .. Yellen
“In Efficiency Wage Models of the Labor Market, Akerlof and coauthor Janet Yellen (his wife) propose rationales for the efficiency wage hypothesis in which employers pay above the market-clearing wage, in contradiction to the conclusions of neoclassical economics.”

totally appropriate...
Exactly, SunkenCiv.
Everything with the Fed is a head fake.
They call the shots and not the other way around. They will not permit an unacceptable name to be submitted. They do the wagging, and not the politicians. These are the people who say “jump”. They’re not the ones who say, “How high?”
The far left still can't forgive Summers for his un-pc anti-feminist remarks while President of Harvard.
