TSA

Again Jon Stewart points out things the real news missed

Obama still hasn't filled the office of director of TSA.



They have an acting director. It's not like there's no one in charge.

I wonder why the Senate hasn't gotten around to it... perhaps it's
been
the
obstructionism going on by the Republicans, who are continually
threatening
the filibuster, even with Defense bills? Nah, couldn't be that...


The TSA is an executive branch department. Obama has to appoint the
director.
I am not even sure they have to be ratified by the senate at that
level. It would be a rubber stamp thing anyway.


It's an appointment and it needs to be approved by the senate. It's
being
held up, as I said, by the right-wing.

If you're not sure, look it up instead of guessing.


OK that was easy, there is no hit on TSA confirmation on Thomas.
There has not been a bill with those words introduced in the senate or
the house.
Now back to you. Who's confirmation IS being held up?


The Senate. Try again.


Cite that. What is the person's name?


I thought you watch CNN?????
