Sadly, Not From "The Onion"

Republicans Urge "MOAR VAMPIRE FACE SUCK PLEASE!"

From Reuters:
Summers successor to set tone on economic policy

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republicans on Wednesday urged President Barack Obama to pick a more business-friendly successor to economic adviser Larry Summers, a move that would signal a shift to the center.

But a decision on Summer's replacement is months away, a White House official said.

A day after Summers announced plans to step down as director of the National Economic Council, speculation about his replacement focused on female candidates, many of whom would bring business expertise that some say is lacking in the Obama White House.

"We'd like to see someone who had good understanding of what it takes to create private-sector jobs," Senator Lamar Alexander, chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, said in an interview at the Reuters Washington Summit.
...

Got that?

The Conservative diagnosis of the problem with Summers is that that he has been too Socialist-y.

That if Obama wants to be more Centrist-y (And who the heck doesn't!) he needs to make a massive leap to the right of this unapologetic architect of radical financial deregulation and the creature of the Goldman Sachs mobster mentality.

No news on whether or not anyone offered to shove a nuke up Senator Lamar Alexander's ass to make him more "fusion-friendly".

Since -- God help me -- it was my state that inflicted Lamar on the rest of you, and in keeping with its motto, it's only fair of me to volunteer.

If you can get your hands on the thermonuclear device, drifty, I'll do my best to see it finds its proper lodgement.

The only thing needed to make that photo perfect is for the vampire squid to be the proper color: gold. As in Goldman Sachs.

If Summers isn't "business-y" enough for them, who would they consider as qualified?
The Koch bros?
Gordon Gekko?
T-Boone Pickens?
Sean Hannity?
The Shrub?
I guess the test is somewhat like the one for government hired civilian employees in Iraq.
You have to have voted for Shrub.
You have to be a member of the dead elephant club.
You have to have attended Liberty U.
Maybe they will reanimate Falwell...
