Secretary James Clyburn?

The Congressional Black Caucus (which isn’t racist because it’s black) is pushing U.S. President Barack Obama to name South Carolina’s resident poverty pimp Jim Clyburn as his new Secretary of Transportation. You know, because anytime “Clyburn” and “Transportation” come together in the same sentence … only good things happen, right?…

Ummmm … not so much.

Anyway, this chronic raider of Bill Cosby’s wardrobe (who rolls with Louis Farrakhan, hates the First Amendment and once infamously sent pork barrel spending to the wrong district) is being pushed for this role because … well, he’s black. And because he’s exceptionally good at playing the race card.

If chosen by Obama, Clyburn would replace Ray LaHood – a former U.S. Representative from Illinois who announced he was leaving his post last week.

So thinking ahead…who would gov. Haley appoint to backfill this true patriot?

Haley cannot appoint anyone for the spot. An election would have to be held to fill the unexpired term.

“Haley cannot appoint anyone for the spot. An election would have to be held to fill the unexpired term”…sounds like the opening one needs for the new Congresswoman Mignon Clyburn.

Hell you could just get a wax dummy and paint it black and the constituents of the Sixth District will vote for it.

That district already has that. Obama might be doing SC a favor: Appoint Clyburn to something innocuous like this position where career bureaucrats really run the thing and SC gets Clyburn out of Congress in 4 years or less.

There are numerous Black politicos who see themselves replacing Clyburn if he vacates that seat.

You could see a field to rival the First District one,if Cluburm moves to the Cabinet.

Actually, having Clyburn as Sec. of Transportation would be a very good thing for South Carolina. Consider: Clemson’s vast investment in CU-ICAR, USC’s investment in Fuel Cell Cars; are all underfunded. They have the potential of creating massive jobs in South Carolina in the automotive research and manufacturing areas.

Clyburn has his faults, but the ability to get money for his favorite projects in SC is not one of them. He could really help make SC Automotive research and production take off as Secretary of Transportation.

Unfortunately, like him or not, he’s South Carolina’s only voice in the Obama Administration. Therefore, he’s SC’s only person who can actually represent SC effectively for the next 4 years in Washington. The rest of the SC Congressional and Senate Delegations are as worthless as “tits on a bore hog.” Just GOP stooges that can’t get anything for SC except bad publicity. Losing Clyburn is gonna hurt. We have no Democrat at all left in Washington, which is owned and operated by the Democratic Party.

SAD BUT TRUE!!

This debacle may have only cost five or six million, but let’s not forget Clyburn’s pedestrian bridge over I-277 in Columbia to connect two housing projects. The purpose was stated to reconnect a neighborhood bisected by the interstate. I-277 was there at least 25 years before the projects were built. The State Newspaper ran a story prior to the grand opening of the Bridge with a picture of workers scrubbing graffiti off of structure. Drive through the area now and you will notice that nobody even uses it. They still cut holes in the fence and run across all four lanes of traffic.

Clyburn doesn’t give a rat’s ass about restoring neighborhoods or the safety of kids running across a highway.

“Success” for him is defined by the transfer of millions in federal pork to his district/cronies, and the resulting monuments with his name prominently displayed.

Andre Bauer has announced plans to move into this district and run for Clyburn’s seat. Later in the press release, Bauer noted he will join the Congressional Black Caucus upon his inauguration.

maybe Andre can do a reverse Michael jackson and dye himself dark? he won’t be able to moon walk; but, can probably do as good a blowjob.

Just please don’t let him build that bridge connecting Rimini and Lone Star. Pointless and it would disrupt that pristine beauty in that part of the lake.

Is the rumor true that Clyburn wants to replace the penny with a two cent coin with his face on it?

If Bakari had been politically smarter, he would have hired Senator Brad Hutto, Esquire. Hutto could have gotten the trial transferred to Orangeburg County where the magistrates’ jobs are on the line daily depending on how Brad’s clients are treated in their courts. It’s okay and legal also because Queen Jean Toal said so. After a “thorough” investigation by Jean’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel, it was determined Brad has done nothing wrong running this system – so long as he is a senator and votes as Jean instructs him to do. Have a good day, Bakari.

Move Clyburn to SecTrans, his replacement will be less effective. After the Obama Administration ends, Clyburn would be less likely to run for his old seat.

Alvin Greene would be an appropriate replacement.
