- Subject: More cabinet follies
- Lines: 24
-
- A cabinet of 14 people that "looks like America" should look like
- the following, at least:
-
- 7.4 women
- 1.8 blacks
- somewhere between 1.4 and 1.7 homosexuals
- 1.2 Hispanics
-
- And I know I'm forgetting the Asian population too.
-
- I don't mean this to be facetious, but doesn't anyone else see how
- ridiculous some of the demands are getting? I >don't< think 3 women
- on a cabinet "looks like America." But...
-
- now I hear that women's groups are miffed over the fact that Clinton
- has already appointed "too many black >men<."
-
- Great. Let's tear each other all apart now.
-
- Better yet, let's go back to the good old Carter, Reagan and Bush days
- when at least 10 of the original cabinet appointments were >white men<.
