Blast from the Past
via Buzzflash and from the Washington Post:
"The White House made a number of recess appointments last week as Congress fled for spring break. One was April H. Foley, a 'homemaker,' according to campaign contribution disclosure documents, from South Salem, New York. She was named to the board of directors of the Export-Import Bank. The appointment is good until Congress adjourns next year.
"So why a homemaker for this job? Well, 'early in her career,' a White House announcement says, she was director of business planning for corporate strategy with PepsiCo Inc. and director of strategy for Reader's Digest Association. More recently, she was president of United Way of North Westchester County, NY, Not all of it, just the northern part."
So what is her true qualification, praytell?
"Still not locked in on the merits? Did we mention she used to date George W. Bush when both were in Harvard Business School and has remained friends with him?"
"Monicagate" redux?
