Diane Rehm guest: "Donna Shalala for VP"

[spooky3]

That's an interesting idea. I had not thought about her at all--maybe someone here did? She is well-respected in FL, now is the President of University of Miami, and has great Fed. govt. experience.

1. Two-foot height differential; that's a glamour "don't"

Anyway, "Donna Who" is the other problem.

(Yeah, I know who she is. It's the rest of the country I would worry about.)

2. Agree. Only political junkies

know who she is.

3. what did she accomplish as Health and Human Services Secretary?

Seriously.

Does anyone know?



According to Encarta:

"... she outlined five major policy initiatives for her first year: revision of health-care financing, expansion of the Head Start program for preschool children, universal childhood immunizations, expansion of AIDS research, and welfare reform."

According to Wikipedia:

"Shalala was known for her fervent anti-drug stance, saying 'Marijuana is illegal, dangerous, unhealthy, and wrong'.

She is now president of the University of Miami."

4. I know her as I helped her with last seasons school fundraising drive

I go to U of M.

But it would never happen. She likes her job, and she's less qualified than almost all talked about choices. Bob Graham is a much better choice

5. she had some trouble when...

she was running against ada deer in wisconsin - something came up - a scandal - it's all vague in my memory - something to do with scientific test results - i think...
