Quote of the Day: I'm not going to take a Noah's Ark approach

by: Jason Springer

Sat Jan 16, 2010 at 05:29:41 PM EST



After announcing the positions in his administration for Paula Dow and Kim Guadagno, many of Chris Christie's nominations that followed had been white men. He was asked about that fact at a press conference the other day and here was his response:
I'm not going to take a Noah's ark approach to filling my cabinet. I'm going to look for the best possible people I can find. Diversity are (sic) one of the factors that you consider in doing that but I'm not going to just look at the class picture and decide what's missing.

Christie says he's going to pick the best people he can find. He says the choices will include gender, ethnic, and racial diversity.

To be fair, we should probably wait and see who the rest of his selections are before we pass judgement on the whole lot. He has added additional women to the team since that statement including Michele Brown last night.

Come on now, tell me the truth, did you two sleep together?

Check out my 3 paragraph primer on Polywell Fusion.

Major Talking Point (0.00 / 0)
It brings up a major question about his hiring process. If his hiring process is from his "network" of friends and associates than it is both selling NJ short and speaks volumes about him and his friends.

The Michele Brown hiring is the most troubling of all. Why would you need to hire her? FogerRox's question is legit at this point. We have had a history as a state with Golan Cipel.
