On the Menu: Grilled OMB Nominee

Meet Heather A. Higginbottom, the Obama administration's nominee for Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Confirmation: Doubtful.

But she at least deserves a golf clap for her reluctant honesty.
SESSIONS: "Look at that chart up there. That's from the President's budget numbers. Is there a single year in which we do not add more to the debt?"

HIGGINBOTTOM: "No."

All of Senator Jeff Sessions questions were designed so they could be answered yes or no. And yet she still managed to drag out the answers for two or three minutes apiece.

OMB - is that the Office of Money and Bullshit? What does it really stand for?

Sen Sessions is a tough smart guy and brooks no bullshit

Listening to this was painful. She sounded extremely nervous, like she never expected her nomination to fall apart this fast. After this, if the Republicans nominate her, I'll know it's because of her looks, certainly not her future skills in heading the OMB.
