Old, white, privileged and mediocre men.

There's a tweet floating around from some Democrat flunky naming his "Dream Team" players for the POTUS 46 cabinet posts. It includes David Petraeus as Director of National Intelligence and Larry Summers for the Treasury.

Right-o. Petraeus with his messy and rather unintelligent choices.

Bruce Carson -- Stephen Harper's *influence peddler* aka fixer -- did once observe:


And Summers? Not only is he Jeffrey-Epstein-adjacent to put it mildly but Larry is also a slick shill for the fossil fuel industry and for predatory neoliberalism, basically.

Seems rather obvious why these two Clinton-legacy creeps could still garner the admiration of some Democrat men. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. The Democrat boys' club is just as sleazy as the Republican one.

Patriarchy is a circle jerk, or in Economic terms: the *invisible hand* that lubes and turns the crank of capitalism.

Saw your "headline" on a blog roll and just had to click in. Yes, you're correct. Was doing a bit of reading this morning and it gives the stats for Biden/Harris's transition team. Its at least 41% in any of the groups. In the senior positions its as high as 52% female. Its also some where between 40 and 50% people of colour, LBGTQ, and disabled also. Don't need ethically challenged white guys. If he can't keep his dick in his pants, what else can't he do.
