Joe Biden has tapped the president of liberal think tank Center for American Progress to head his Office of Management and Budget, and as Twitchy reported earlier, it seems Neera Tanden is busy deleting old tweets in which she accuses Russian hackers of changing the result of the 2016 election, during which she served as an unpaid adviser to Hillary Clinton.
The Center for American Progress is about as Left as it gets without tipping over into Antifa territory, but principled conservative™ Bill Kristol thinks Tanden would be just super, and that’s something on which conservatives, moderates, and liberals should all agree.
Serious conservatives, responsible moderates, and hard-headed liberals should want a tough-minded OMB head. OMB is where Cabinet secretaries' ill-considered projects go to die, where programs are evaluated, where trade-offs are made. Neera Tanden is the right person for the job.

No conservative, "serious" or otherwise, could possibly support Neera Tanden for dog catcher much less OMB director. I thought you might snap out of it after the election but it seems you have truly lost your way. Peace.

Serious conservatives should support the president of the Center For American Progress. https://t.co/8dOitm3IxY

Real mystery how you guys lost the plot there.

This is a new low for Bill. Holy shit.

"Serious conservatives" are a bit more consistent with what allegiances they form during the course of their seriousness. Just sayin'.

I look forward to Bill's specific criticisms' of Biden's ill-conceived projects.

What is Kristol now? What are Never Trumpers after President Trump is gone? They certainly fought hard for Biden, but as we’ve reported, Democrats aren’t exactly anxious to cozy up with the Lincoln Project folks now that Biden has presumably won.
I wished this Kristol would just come out as a Democrat now. So ridiculous that so many of us ever supported this grifter.

That would destroy the grift.

I could not think of a worse person than Neera Tanden for this position. We are screwed.

Bill Kristol has become the Arlen Specter of political hack commentators.

I could have written this as a joke. https://t.co/gIAuYuuCbP

I tried to read that as *not* a joke. Couldn’t do it.

Bill Kristol might be the king of unintentional comedy.

LOL. Yeah, I think they've kinda given their game away at this point.

“Serious” conservatives should vote blue always, just to own those pesky MAGA conservatives. That’ll show em.
— Bryan Daniels (@ChiefLeast) November 30, 2020
Serious conservatives like Kristol, who favored Biden and Harris over Trump and Pence?

Bill’s lost it. #SharkJump

Kind of destroys their narrative that they just wanted to get rid of Trump. Now they are advocating for leftists in policy positions.

I thought Bill was just a “Never Trumper” it turns that he’s a progressive Democrat.. #WhoKnew

But the mainstream media narrative last week was that Biden’s cabinet was the picture of experience and diversity, and moderate at that.
