The Afternoon Quote
At one point, Mr. Romney declared that “I would probably bring in McKinsey,” the management consulting firm, to help him set up his presidential cabinet, a comment that seemed to startle the editors and left Mr. Murdoch visibly taken aback.
The Journal’s write-up of that meeting would later glibly refer to Mr. Romney as “Consultant in Chief.”
This is proof enough that The Willard Mechanism will outsource everything. Literally everything. Also interesting to note that old Rupert has no love for Willard.

Well, now I know what Mr. Murdoch and I have in common.
How can The Rupert not love a Mechanism which fellates the Filthy F**kin’ Rich? I mean, it outsourced the American Dream in the biggest Pacific Rim-Job Fair in history!
Great. So McKinsey cando for the gov’t what every fucking “business consultant” has done for business: go in, try to extend your visit as long as ossible (they are paid more the longer they are there, naturally), come up with something to tell upper management (you need to “shake things up”), get some decent, hardworking people fired for no fucking reason…profit!
Won’t that be another “Czar” position…?
Kind of gives a new meaning to the term “king maker” doesn’t it?
Has anyone started looking into how me made his appointments while governor?
I’m also going to add, what happens when the consulting firm recommends a bunch of Democrats? Fire ‘em and hire a new firm?
